Someone else at the shelter called him to tip him off. I guess she wasn't very nice to the people there either. He wanted my statement and info in case she tried to dispute her termination. He was very sincere and seemed truly disheartened by her callous attitude.

Yay!  Karma's a bitch.

We installed 1st floor's doors, they are using it more actively now, I guess its more secure.

First two residents:

 

 

Now, we need only fences to cover it. We'll build another one and replace the abomination at the right side.

Now that is a lot of cats!

[Sechtdamon]

They are like 1/3 of the herd, my good sir.

[Dusty Chalk]

You may well be one of the world's elite few cat herders.

We have a colloquialism in American, "...like herding cats", used to describe an impossible task.

[Sechtdamon]

Actually, I'm literally herding them. Not that i want to do herd them but they follow me anywhere I go. And interestingly some of them listen my basic commands.

I guess they see me as their leader. I sit with them while they eat, I drink coffee/tea and smoke. After that I play with them. And I can cease their fights and keep dogs and savage male cats out. I guess they respect and love me as much as I do.

It started 2 years ago, "Umut" jumped off from balcony and got lost. After that we started to give the remaning cat food. After the package finished, we started to bought 15 kilos per month. Now we give 60 kilos per month. And we spend total 3-4 hours per day with them (me and my father) BTW the knees belong to my father.

And really I don't do that for being good or anything like that. The hour(s) I spend with cats are like therapy for me. What I do is most selfish act that a human can do, imho.

I've 3 major hobbies I spend time regularly: music, reading and them.

My new friend

I have a friend that has a semi-pet dove. The dove has free range during the day, and flies home at night to sleep in the house.

Thank you sir for heads up! I know both director and the star(!) But I haven't heard about the documentary till I saw your post. I'm going to find a place that shows it and watch it ASAP! Thank you again for a great gift!

Nitro has learned how to remove the door from his portable kennel.  This should solve the problem ...
