Nice but strange.
I've just had a wierd encounter. Nice, but strange. A gentleman just
came to my door, having seen Lilly-Whiskers story in the paper. He had tracked me down because the paper had printed the street that I live in, and he had asked a neighbour where I lived, using my photo in the paper to ID me. He dropped off a donation of kitten food, some kitten toys, and some kitten buscuits. I let him meet Lilly and I *think* I have persuaded him to volunteer for Cats Protection. *VBG* It was strange, because this morning I was debating whether to go shopping for more kitten food as we're running out. It was even more strange, as I was debating whether I had enough money in my bank account (I don't) to spend on kitten toys, or whether Lilly would have to make do until with her ping-pong balls and bits of paper until I get paid in 2 weeks. We had a nice chat, and he seemed very nice, even if the circumstances *were* a little odd. Still, I guess he subscribes to the "paying forward" idea, like I try to. It was a very kind gesture and I was quite touched. Helen M -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

I'm so glad to hear people are being good to Lilly-Whiskers after all
she had been through. Lots of purrs and best wishes, Polonca and Soncek Helen Miles wrote: I've just had a wierd encounter. Nice, but strange.

What I do when I don't have enough money to buy a new cat toy, I just crumple up some foil that I had on some leftovers. The cats LOVE it. They bat it around for a good 15 - 20 minutes. I have to say that the foil balls are their absolute favorite toy. kili |

Little tiny balls of foil from hershey's kisses - whenever we eat them I crumple the foil up and wrap about four layers around the ball so it's a good size for batting and pouncing... Silver also adores a little white wooden knob that came off a little drawer - apparantly it's also just right for pouncing and batting, an it makes a noise as it skitters across the floor... kitties are very versatile players -- ~Karen aka Kajikit Crafts, cats, and chocolate - the three essentials of life http://www.kajikitscorner.com Online photo album - http://community.webshots.com/user/kajikit |

There are a lot of animal lovers out there, and a story like Miss L-W's in the newspaper will often bring them out of the woodwork. It obviously touched this man's heart so much that he felt he had to make a real effort to find you. I think that's wonderful, bless his cat-loving heart and may Lilly enjoy her new toys. You may even find that Lilly comes into even more goodies from the newspaper readers! Tweed |

Helen M "Paying it forward", "Karma", whatever you want to call it, I subscribe to the notion that if you put good energy into the universe, somehow, somewhere (usually just when you need it) good energy will come back at you. You did a wonderful thing to help Miss Lilly Whiskers when she needed you and someone else came along to help out just when you needed it. It's really *not* just random kluons bouncing around that makes up our world! Hugs, CatNipped -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |
