Weathering: Petfinder Post

Last week we just missed setting a new record for overnight low temperatures. Today we just set an all-time record for afternoon high temperatures. The Weather Station logged a balmy 65 degrees. It wasn't quite that warm at the Cat Sanctuary, but felt even warmer in the sunshine. From what's usually the coldest freeze of the year, early January, to the January thaw usually takes longer than 48 hours. I did not hear anyone complaining. It was nice to watch the snow melt.

I still have a lot of catching up to do so here, without more wordage, are this week's cat photo contest winners. Today we consider older cats.

Zipcode 10101: Mush from New York 


The main trouble with Mush is that his human gave birth to an Utterly Unwashed and Unsaved Northerner. The guy did at least come in to help his old, sick mother, who probably has money in the bank, but he threw Mush out in the cold. Mush was brought to a shelter where he demonstrated that he likes to curl up on humans' laps and keep them warm. He's said to be polite about taking a daily heart pill and very good about using a litter box. He's just about eleven years old. 

Zipcode 20202: Pretty from Upper Marlboro 

Well, isn't she? Sadly, she was arrested and locked up for being a cat, doing her best to help Prince Georges County control its rat problem. She may be a lost pet. She's just an old lady cat who needs a safe place to spend her sunset years.

Zipcode 30303: Ruby from Atlanta 


She didn't even make the mistake of taking her love to town. She was just abandoned by her humans with a wonderful package of food, toys, and her own cat tree to climb and claw on, all ready to go to her Purrmanent Home. If you want a Siamese-looking cat, run don't walk.
