Cat With No Name

Von McKnelly

Cat With No Name

About three weeks ago I found a beautiful stray cat that had been in a terrible fight with another animal. Giving her a little first aid, food and water she was soon on her way. This pretty kitty appeared again last week and we’ve become friends. Well the poor thing has been hiding in my storage building and has given birth to at least two babies. This one I discovered yesterday.

    Grinch / ...

    Awww, he is too cute!!!!!!!!!!!! He looks so sad.

  • Von McKnelly replied

    Quite the whiner this one was while up on the studio stand. I think this was the only moment he was silent.

  • Brad Sumner GLP

    Brad Sumner GLP

    Yeah, dang it! Once, every so often, I get afflicted with good taste and common sense. Damn glad it doesn’t happen to regularly!

  • Mary Campbell

    Mary Campbell

    Well, Von I once knew a woman that had 43 cats (way to many for my cup of tea or her ability to manage their daily needs) so yes I think there is a limit.. What that is I’m not quite sure but it deals with your ability to manage them and keep them healthy. Still it’s a sweet photo..

  • Grinch   /      R. Pross

    Grinch / ...

    LOL, have you thought of a name? are you keeping the little bugger?

    yes, von~
    when i was living alone while in college, had two cats. one had a litter of 12 once and i actually had to delivered them all. she wasn’t an ordinary cat… a chicken who didn’t know what to do. i did all the dirty job that she was suppose to do. one of 12 died… but not without me try reviving it… i even performed the cpr… your kitty here, if i had it i’m afraid that i might squeeze it too tight… just too cute!!!
