Stray

Before Chica came to us she was a stray cat. Living in the streets of our town, eating from the rubbish.We have thousands of strays in our town. Most of them dirty, sick, poor. They are either living in the back streets near to the dumps or in the main street near to any restaurant. McDonald's has put already signs "Please do not feed the cats" because they are becoming more and more.Every day I see cats. Everywhere. Pregnant cats, kittens. I feel sorry for them. More sorry I feel when I see kids running behind those cats, throwing stones after them or punishing them with wood. Remembering the times of Ancient Egypt when cats have been treated as gods, it's even more sad.One time I was sitting in the office and heard a tiny meow from outside. There was a little kitten, maybe 10 days old, h

"You're in your car, heading somewhere or other, a long list of things to accomplish and already running late. Suddenly, you see him—a dog, there, by the side of the road. With a sinking feeling, you realize he's alone. Your car is coming alongside him now. You have only seconds in which to act. But what should you do? This is a wrenching scenario for all who care about animals. Once you've

The idea was first tried by the Benrath senior citizens home in Düsseldorf where the staff placed a fake bus stop sign at the sidewalk near the premises. The only difference between the Benrath sign and the real deal is that no buses stop at Benrath. The Benrath staff took to installing the fake sign as an attempt at solving the problem of old patients going astray trying to return to their previ

Some months ago now, back when it was still cold, wet and wintery, we started to see a timid black and white cat, wearing a red collar, hanging around in our garden. We’d occasionally see her through the cat-flap, but she would bolt as soon as we tried to approach. She now trusts us enough [...]

It happens all too often. A family or cat friend gets adopted by a stray cat. And after a few weeks it turns out she’s pregnant.In the US alone there must be millions of sweet but homeless cats. And many of them get pregnant several times a year. Nobody really knows why, but pregnant strays often adopt a family instead of the other way round. Maybe they search for support or a good and warm home for their kittens. Now, perhaps you don’t have the space or time for a cat family. Or there’s another reason that makes it difficult to have these kittens. But you don’t want to throw this stray out. She’s expecting babies, isn’t she?!Now what can you do?You could take her to an animal shelter. That’s not always a good idea. Don’t get me wrong: I value the work of animal shelters. I

This idea of the princess and stray has been wiggling about in my brain for a couple of months. It came to fruition with yet another food incident with Mali. (Click here for part 1 and here for part 2 if you don’t know what I am referring to. It'll all make more sense if you do!) I feel like God gave me the image of the princess and the stray and I’ve enjoyed writing about it.Here is my confession and my disclaimer; I have not yet arrived in this area. So, I can give you a glimpse of where I have been and the path I am on, but I don’t know yet all the twists and turns it will take. Having said that, here it goes – from one stray to another!Over the years, I have come to believe that there is a container in each of our hearts. The conatiners get filled up when we are loved on and ar

During World War II, many children in England had to evacuate due to the fighting. (If you are a Narnia fan, you’ll recall that this is why Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy end up at the Professor’s house.) Some ended up in kind situations. Others pretty much had to fend for themselves. Because of the fear of losing their lives, the fear of what would come to tomorrow, the fear of not having enough, some of the children had trouble falling asleep at night. It must have been God inspired, but someone had the idea of giving children bread to sleep with each night. With the bread in their hands, they knew they had something to eat and would have something to eat for the next day too. With the comfort of the bread, the children were able to sleep.I believe that there is such a think as a na

I remember getting up very early one morning in 1981. After all, England is several hours ahead. My sisters and I didn’t want to miss a bit of the royal wedding of Prince Charles to Princess Diana.Princesses fascinate little girls. We learn about them very early on from stories like Cinderella and Snow White. And in our hearts, I think there is often a yearning to be a princess – to be someone very special.Even though I’ve always considered myself more of a dog person, I adore both of my cats. They each came from the local humane society. Katy is three and I’ve had her for a little over two years. I got Mali in November. The best guess is that she is about nine months old.As I’ve interacted with them, I’ve learned that they have very divergent positions on life. Katy is the pr

Hardbeatnews, BROOKLYN, NY, Fri. Dec. 21, 2007: The life of thirty-five-year-old Grenadian immigrant, Carol Simon, gunned down by a stray bullet in front of her Brooklyn home Saturday, is set to be celebrated in a Brooklyn church today.

Giving home to a homeless is among the most noble things, a man is capable of doing. A stray dog who scavenges to eat and lives at the crumbs thrown by others is not a pretty sight for most of us, and that's the reason why most of us have entertained the thought of bringing a stray dog home at some point of time in our lives.However, most of the time we did not act upon the thought because we thought it would be too difficult to train a grown up stray dog for these two reasons-- his being grown up and his being a stray dog. We were wrong on both counts. Old dogs are not less capable of learning than puppies and can learn even faster having seen a lot of life already.Stray dogs are hard working as they have spent a large part of their lives struggling for food and life. They are grateful for the security and nourishment you provide and are ready to show that it was all worth it.There are, however, a few things that you must do before taking a stray dog as a pet. Take the dog to the vet

By John M Williams Hundreds if not thousands of stray dogs are found each year around the world with no one in sight and nowhere to go. These are often in great danger whether it’s because of neglect on the owners’ behalf, or because of unforeseen circumstances causing the dog to become lost and scared. What [...]

I'm still feeding the feral cats that live in Mr. Yu's attic. The kittens still flee (complete with cartoon-like windmill-foot action) whenever I approach, although Mama Cat will sit still as long as I don't try to approach her. She even perks up her ears when I speak to her... but if I approach her, she starts hissing. She is still nursing her kittens, although her boob-area seems more swollen

I'm still feeding the feral cats that live in Mr. Yu's attic. The kittens still flee (complete with cartoon-like windmill-foot action) whenever I approach, although Mama Cat will sit still as long as I don't try to approach her. She even perks up her ears when I speak to her... but if I approach her, she starts hissing. She is still nursing her kittens, although her boob-area seems more swollen than would be accounted for by simple milk. I'm worried about her, although I've no way of catching her - and somehow I doubt the vets here would be able/willing to deal with an angry feral.

Poor Cat...Once upon a time... (Yesterday, actually.)I just got home from work, I'm kind of tired, my Ayi is home cleaning up the house and I'm ready to celebrate my day with a nice tall bottle of Tsingtao for my hard work. Suddenly, I get a call:"Morgan, I need your help."It's the doctor that saved my cat's life, Dr. Zhang."There's two ladies at the store that found a stray cat. We're super busy at the store. The guys downstairs can't help me. Can you grab her for me and bring it back?So I think about it for a sec... "Well, this guy did save my cat's life. He woke up early and stayed up late to remind me to give the cat med, gave me a pretty big discount for Muffin's treatment and I know how busy he gets this time of the year. The warmer it gets the more diseases with the animals..."OK...", I half-heartedly say and run downstairs to the petshop, get an apron so I can grab the feline and a cage to hold her in and me and the two ladies dash off to
