I run the cathouse consisting of 3 rescued strays (Mitzy, Asher &amp; Teddy)  and two rescued ferals (Cleo &amp; Jazz) and 5 feral yard cats: Ginger, Brownie, Gray, Ebony, and Rocky. All the yard cats need forever
homes.


After 35 years working for multinational corporations in sales and management, I’m retired.  I will take on interesting work as an independent consultant whenever a good project presents itself.

&lt;p&gt;The outside yard cat pride is expanding. The usual suspects are pictured here: The fab 4.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ebony (Number 5) has just presented us with a clone of himself …we’re still trying to get pictures but they are almost indistinguishable so we have named him/her Ebony Two (ET)(Number 7).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also George (Number 6) has shown up with mange and is proving hard to treat. We know someone in the area owned him in the past because he was a well cared for cat till last month. He showed up on occasion to hang with Mommy cat and the babies. His owners must have moved and abandoned him so we are doing our best to care for him and try to get some Ivermectin into him. So far no luck. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Starting to worry about how I can continue to feed all these guys plus my own 5.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://artnideas.tumblr.com/post/48711581275</link><guid>http://artnideas.tumblr.com/post/48711581275</guid><pubDate>Tue, 23 Apr 2013 15:44:29 -0400</pubDate><category>cats</category><category>feral cats</category><category>Yard cats</category><category>stray cats</category><category>cats that need homes</category><category>Orlando cats</category></item><item><title>Losing my religion for equality…by Jimmy Carter</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.womenspress-slo.org/?p=11440"&gt;Losing my religion for equality…by Jimmy Carter&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://artnideas.tumblr.com/post/46866415265</link><guid>http://artnideas.tumblr.com/post/46866415265</guid><pubDate>Mon, 01 Apr 2013 14:56:29 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>The Perils of Aging: The Last Quarter</title><description>
