Crybaby says these things (paper towel rolls) are great to play with after the big 2 legged creatures use all the white paper off of them. But, they need more please? I promised not to gack any hairballs till they have more paper towels, but I have a lot of hair, and I like to keep clean, and ….. please hurry ….. I feel a good gack coming on ……

Can you see who’s up on the roof together?

We just can’t get our ducks together ….. but we’re doing pretty good on lining up the cats !!

Who’s hungry ?????


Yuck!! This water has NO flavor.

Mmmm so much better over here ……

Hey YOU … yes YOU …. would you do me a favor and bring the hoomans some bleach … they’re always complaining about the flavoring we add to our water and saying they have to sanitize our homes ….. silly hoomans.

It’s a potato plant, in Piggy Paradise!! Now how’s that get there? The pigs missed eating a potato and it started growing. I wonder how long it will grow before someone decides to eat it !!!

A couple persimmons left on the tree and the pigs are already fighting over who’s gonna get ‘em!

Another beautiful day on planet earth !!! What a wonderful planet to live on!

Hey YOU! Are you coming out on Saturday the 26th to visit us? And bring ME NUMS?
Saturday is a DONATION DROP OFF DAY
and that means the gate will be open from NOON to 2 pm
21410 Constitution Hwy, Rapidan. That’s at the corner of rt 20 (Constitution Hwy) and Quarterhorse Ln, at the end of the RAINBOW FENCE. Do not go down Quarterhorse Ln, a small gravel road, or you’re in the wrong place. You gotta come in our gate to Life Center Way!!!

Patrick high fives Doug for serving delicious nums ….. and cleaning up for all of us.

Wouldn’t it be a great day to have your nums delivered while you laz around in the sun? Them lucky sheep. Why do we have SpokesKats that have to work when everybody else around here just lazes in the sun?

Here’s a quiz for YOU! Let’s see if you can guess where Shadow has found some shade to hang out? Come on, tell me your guess?

We all know where he is, but we’re not telling. It’s a really cool place when it’s not facing the sun and the day started out chilly and no hooman has used it yet today.

October 21, 2024, Magical Monday

Have a Magical Monday !!!!

Madison says before and after school Rikki’s work is way better than any daycare !!!! Why would she need somebody to take care of her when she can be here taking care of the animals !!!

Baaaaaaa

Can you imagine what this place sounded like a few minutes ago? Do you have A cat or two or six that wake you up in the morning singing about the wonderful nums you need to get up and serve them? Imagine all these cats singing in unison !!!! Soon as they see the slightest glimmer of the headlights from Doug’s truck, the songs start!!

Imagine what it takes to feed just these !! And how many more are in other houses and running around?
We need lots of canned food NOW. Please send some our way, or come out on Saturday from noon till 2 pm for Donation Drop Off, the gates will be open!! We really need bleach and papertowels too!
