Hahaha ... That is HALF funny. When my wife told me that she had THREE feral cats that she had saved in a big thunderstorm, I told her "Humane Society for them in the morning!!" Fell asleep on the couch, ONLY to be awaken at different times of the night, (and NO it was NOT my wife's doing,) with EACH one of them sleeping on my stomach! WELL.....
NOW we have ELEVEN, have built a 250 SQ. ft. cage that they WALK into from a hole in our wall, and WE have the privilage of "living in THEIR house!"
AND she started to feed ANOTHER stray and NOW that DARN fool has adopted US!!!! We are both NOT working (one semi, and one retired)
Can ANYONE suggest a solution? My photo college proffessor suggest a "CAT Book" (I hav ehad a couple images of them accepted by and in exibitions in LA, NY and Hungary. BUT a photographic CAT BOOK??? Seems like a BIG gamble...
My wife suggest making (and trying to sell) "cat prints" at local art fairs.. But I wonder if people would go for a whole tent with ONLY images of cats that do not belong to them!

I have to laugh because i know how that goes.

there is already a book out titled " Men with Cats' By David Williams.
hes snapped the men with their pet cats- my son is on page 114 upper top left page with his 2 kitties.
well hes now up to 3 kitties and i am sure if he sees these kits, he may be up to 4 by the time he leaves the house.
God bless your wife and also you for doing what you can for them.

I hate it when someone abandons unwanted animals, especially in bad weather. Being the first house on a rural gravel road I used to have dogs and cat dumped near my home monthly, It cost me a lot of money to take them to a shelter. I finally placed a hateful sign by my mail box about the dumpers parentage and what would happen to the animals (which was just an idle threat, caught hell from neighbors for it) but the dumping stopped, that was 30 yrs ago, the sign stayed up for about 5 yrs. Have neighbors across the road now which helped ( people won't dump if they think they might be seen).

i can't blame you in the least. anyone that dumps an animal after their usefulness is gone, needs the same done to them. I have no patience with these types.

Bless your heart Marilyn for taking them in. May good things come your way.
We have 7 indoors and 2 outside in a large dog lot. Some have to be separated from some others to prevent fights.
Sometimes I think we have the name "Suckers" on our mailbox. They keep showing up at our house.
One is on my lap as I type this.

about 3 weeks back just before the major snow storm hit, someone dumped a gray kitty off.
It took a few days before i was able to grab her-him and bring it in the house. Once picked up- i discovered it as not a "Him" but a her and very PG.

Carried her into my office where i had it prep'd for her to stay. On the 9th, she delivered 5 solid gray kits the same color as she is.
They are growing like weeds- eyes are open and the bigger one is already playing with mom.
Here are just a few pictures i snapped of them.

I could not let her deal alone, with lack of food and drink Plus trying to keep her kits warm and safe.
No animal deserves that. They fill such a big Void in our lives, especially since i had lost 2 of my pets just a short while before Gray arrived.
Shes safe now.

That's just so wonderful. Animals do do that. I don't know what I'd do without mine. The horses break the bank but I wouldn't want to lose them for anything!

I had sold my horse about 3 years back and yes they break the bank alright. But she was fun and entertaining. Shes now got a job and she needed that.

I'm sorry you had to sell them. I can't. I've had my Arabian since he was 2 years old. He's now 19. I would just die if anything happened to him at the hands of someone else. My trainer lost one of her horses that she sold to someone due to stupidity. She tried to get the woman to let her nurse him back to health but she wouldn't let her. The horse had to be put down. It was horrifying that this woman thought she knew what she was doing.
