Maggie laying with Yogurt and Muttley
Maggie the Labradoodle is visiting with us for a couple of weeks while her mom and dad are at the beach.
My wife runs a pet-sitting service and we also have a cat rescue. The two cats in the picture are Yogii short for Yogurt and Muttley. Yogii is not a rescue but pour little Muttley is. Muttley was part of a litter that just showed up at our house one day. He was part of 4 tiny kittens. The other three have passed on from Feline Leukemia but Muttley just hangs on.
Muttley does however have epilepsy and has to take phenobarbital twice a day to prevent epileptic seizures. When he was still in his kitten days the seizures caused some sever brain damage before we got it under control. He is not like most cats becuase of this. He is very much like a downs syndrome child in fact. He has lost all his teeth also and eats by himself so he can have only wet food. No kibble. When his plate is clean he picks up one corner of it and drops it over and over again until we let him out of his kennel. He is one sweet cat.
Now Yogii the white cat is an odd eye. He has one green eye and one blue eye and he is like a wet rag when you hold him. They are both about 7 years old now. If you have never had an odd eye white cat you cannot begin to even imagine how special they are.
By the way Yogii is spelled with two ii's because he is our second Yogi.
Just for fun I have included some other pictures of Muttley and Yogii below. (We have a total of 12 cats & 5 dogs)

A very young Muttley nursing from Kia, this is actually pretty common for the two of them. Kia will always let us know if Muttley needs his claws trimmed.
That's all for now folks.

A cat will tremble or shiver when it is in extreme pain.
