Kitchen window gazing
So April came and went - first time since i started my blog that I've gone an entire month without posting. Due to a spell of bad health and my body crying for my attention. Was hospitalised for a few days and recovering for many more. Still taking it easy and quietly enjoying all the furry healers around. Whilst I was recovering I spent many days in a comfy armchair with my feet up. And each day I was literally plastered with willing healers - it was as if they were fighting for space around me and it truly made me smile. They're giving back!
One day I observed Rufus and Fey kitchen window gazing and I just had to capture their lovely profiles and the Greek blue sky reflected in their eyes.
At the moment things are balancing out around here. We've reached a total of 35 cats some months back, and we simply can't house more. It would lessen the quality of life of the ones rescued already if we took on more. And it's a huge challenge... there's always a cat in need around here and in a few weeks from now there will be little "toffees" (aka tiny kittens) to be found everywhere. One of the dumpster cats we feed have just given birth about four weeks ago - and we know where she will bring her little ones to search for food! Yes, oh dear!!
Did you catch Fey's darling profile under Rufus' chin?! She's quite a shy cat so she feels safe in Rufus' confident company.
I hope you are all well... thanks so much for stopping by.

Get well soon and lots of hugs to the furry ones, especially Skipper #2. :)
I just realized how time flies too... I've been back from Rhodes for a week already! I spent two lovely weeks there, it was beautiful (I love this season of the year!), although of course I always felt sad about the poor kitties on the streets... I miss my sweet furry friends, and I so wish they could all have the loving home they all deserve. I really KNOW how you are feeling!!! It was healing to be there again, though, and I felt peace in my heart.
Please do take good care of yourself, enjoy your little healers and know that I am thinking of you!!!
Lots and lots of hugs and healing thoughts!

I am so sorry to learn you had been under the weather. But, am glad to hear that you are doing so much better. Please take good care and regain your strength.
*hugs*
Love the cats. I have a few more than you and now must think about a non-profit organization.

Rufus and Fey are just beautiful!
What in the world???? I am praying that you are ok, please, please take care of yourself!
So sad to read that you again had some medical problems and needed to be hospitalized. Knowing how this feels and when you cannot spread yourself any thinner...
Those photos are lovely and felines are natural nurses that sense exactly what is going on! When Pieter had his kidney stone around 2001, our than feline Spooky (she got killed in front of his eyes later by a racing car, only 1.5 years of love...) sat pressed against Pieter's side on the bed with him! She did not leave his sight.
We just got back from Curaçao where we had some quality family time (away from our felines but they have a loving and caring cat-sitter) to celebrate Pieter's birthday. Hope we all did lap up enough love and attention for carrying ourselves for a while and for staying healthy and balanced!
Tight hugs to you and wishing you well; think about yourself too.

The photos are full of peace and contentment, and quite a contrast to what I experienced today; My daughter and I went to the Circus, and believe it or not - one of the performers was a man with white persian cats!! They were beautiful and looked like they were well kept, and were running up a pole (food on a plateau) and through a tunnel etc., getting a snack as a reward ... I honestly hope they were death (they were totally white), because I think they would get very stressed if they could hear the loud music and people applauses! Ang honestly, what a life for a group of cats, travelling from one town to another during the whole summer-period - in stead of living a natural life with time for hunting and kitchen window gazing like your lucky beauties on the photos...!
Take care, and speedy recovery xo
Purrs,

I am sorry to read that you were not o.k., hope it is better now. To read about your many willing healers made me smile. They definately give you back a lot of love. So take care of yourself because only than you can help all your cats. Your photos are wonderful. Fey looks very feminine and Rufus seems to smile. So sweet!
Hugs and greetings, Johanna
