My Cat Ranch - The Homeschool & Animal Rescue Experience

Nov. 22, 2005 - Animals, Like People, Know What They Like

This is one of our fosters for APAWS. She is a Maine Coon. She loves to talk and carry on conversations with us. She also craves attention and wants to be held and petted all the time. The kids call her Isabel. If you want, you can see a video clip Conversing With a Cat on my moblog.
 
Isabel came with two male Maine Coons. We named the males, Mario and Luigi. Naturally, the bigger cat was named Luigi. Mario is the smaller, and shyer of the two. Luigi is very friendly and affectionate. He loves to talk and carry on a conversation with us. He also begs us to hold and love on him. He loves to snuggle with people! The brothers are also fosters for APAWS. 
 
This is another one of our fosters for APAWS. For the longest time, we did not know whether to call this big orange cat Garfield or Thomasina. The cat would fuss at us when the kids or I would call him by either name. We were finally able to get a good look today, and determined that this rescue kitty is probably a nuetered male. When we determined that, I said to the cat, "Well, it looks like we get to call you Garfield." He looked me in the eye and fussed about his dislike of that name. So I asked if he prefered we call him Thomasina. To which he quickly complained. I looked at him and said, "So big boy, what do YOU want us to call you!?" He looked right at me and I swear he said "Raalph!" I asked him, "Ralph? Your name is Ralph?" He just looked at me in silence. My daughter assumed his lack of fussing meant we finally got his name right. When I told our youngest daughter what happened, she had to go and see for herself. She went outside and asked him the same question. She said his answer was the same. Clear as day, she heard him say, "Raalph!" Looks like we are calling him Ralph. LOL
 
This talkative sweetie pie loves to be held. She is one of the new rescues from last night's Roicy Run. The kids named her Ashley.
 
This is the other rescue kitty that we brough home from last night's Roicy Run. She is very affectionate and loves to be rubbed and petted. If we don't pet her, she will roll all over and rub herself on the wall of her cage. She is also talkative.
 
Since Belle is a rescue cat, we are unsure of her breed. She looks like she could be a Siamese mix, or even a Burmilla. She has beautiful lynx points, snow paws, and fluffy soft long fur. She also has beautiful baby blue eyes.
 
Wasabi is one of our Lynx Point Siamese cats. He seems to think that Belle is a beautiful cat! He hung around under her cage most of the day today. Belle could have cared less. She likes people better then other cats.

About Me

Homeschooling our three daughters and living in a rural area, has opened up the doors for teaching our kids about animal rescue and responsible pet care. All of our children have daily hands on experience in caring for the over 80 cats, 6 dogs, 2 gerbils, 2 rabbits, 1 guinea pig, and 1 goat who reside with us. Some are permanent residents, others are foster pets. All are loved very much. It has opened their eyes and hearts to the plight of unwanted pets, and the importance of spaying and neutering.
