Did you ever wonder if there was a "big cat in the sky over South Carolina?". A very special cat who watched over the kittens young and on their own, who watched over the old ones tired and weary, who watches over them all, lost, hungry and fighting each day just to survive. All the ones unwanted and unloved. Well, we believe there is a "special big cat" up there and he turns on a magical little cat-GPS in all those kitty tails that directs them each to a forever home with Marg. The home where they find food and shelter and loving hands that caress them. Hands that give care and heal their wounds, and a voice that speaks kind words.
Yes, that's our Ms Marg, we don't hear from her much anymore ~ but she is there, caring each and every day for so many, young and old and in between. And loving them all just as she has done for so many years and will keep doing every day to come. Recently as we talked on the phone one morning, I asked for a photo and a "kitty update" ... all of the "twenty-five". Some indoor and some outdoor, all are doing well. It's a lot of work, all day long to tend to this large family and all their needs, but it gets done. Food bowls and water bowls, filled and emptied and cleaned and litter boxes by the dozen! Toys and climbers and scratchers and trees in every corner possible ... the random scuffle for territory, the endless (and wonderful) lap time required by all! Night comes ~ is there room on the bed for Marg? She thinks she can squeeze into a spot, here or there!
It is a good life, a wonderful life at Marg's Animals. If you'd like to send her a "Hi and Hello" ... please leave a comment for her here today. She'll be stopping in to read them and would love to hear from you! She is missing many of you as you've been missing her ... thank you!
And now, a peek at two ~ Salt and Pepper.
As always, Marg takes beautiful photos, and here are Salt and Pepper, two little sisters, now about 2-years old who arrived lost and forlorn on a cold winters day and found their forever home with Marg.
little kits into the lovely lady cats they are today.
Salt and Pepper in Marg's Kitchen, "art-fied" for the day!
I am glad to hear Marg and all the kitties are doing well. I remember when Salt and Pepper arrived and think they are sisters she tried so hard to find a home for. They are looking great, and very happy with Marg. We miss you Marg!
ReplyDeleteWow, we can't believe that Salt and Pepper are TWO already. They are such a cute pair. We so miss Marg and her blog posts. We send her wishes for a wonderful weekend and good health and lots of smiles.
ReplyDeleteWoos - Lightning, Misty, and Timber, and of course, Mom too
they are so very beautiful, love their names, I had an African Amercian friend at work, and the employees at Sears called us salt and pepper.. the edit is stunning. love both sets of salt and pepper..
ReplyDeleteWe love Marg, she is such a special lady and we miss her lots.
ReplyDeleteThey've grown so big, but are as adorable as ever!
ReplyDeleteHiya, Marg, have been thinking about you and your clowder.
Thank you, Zoolatry, for keeping us in the loop!
Hi Marg!! I was happy to see an update! I think of you often and hope you are doing well!! ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteI love Marg and her kitties. I miss her daily visits too. I know she loves all the kitties, pups and donkeys. I'm so thankful I met her so many years ago in this wonderful virtual world. Hello Marg and Zane and I love you. ♥
ReplyDeleteSalt and Pepper are such beautiful kitties and Marg is one very special lady♥
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to read an update on Marg, I'm glad she and her menagerie are doing well. I miss her blog, am not on Facebook anymore if she posts there.
ReplyDeletePlease give her my very best and tell her that Derry sends purrs to all.

We have missed Marg, (though she sometimes appears magically on FB) and I wonder how she and all the kitties are doing. It was so wonderful you did a montage of 2 cats I've not met! We send her wonderfulness and happiness and healthiness and LOVE and strength! It is funny, when we think about her, it seems Angel Nellie finds a way and we get a message - usually within a day - and we find out she is well! We wish her a marvellously Happy Day!!
ReplyDeleteThank YOU Ann! We love you too!
Hello Marg! We are so glad to hear you're doing well and that all the cats are too! We miss reading about their adventures.
ReplyDeleteI miss Marg and her kitties so much. I pray for her and them daily. 25 is a lot to care for. The most I have had is 15 and that was tough, especially when they get older and need meds and more vet care. XO
ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone for all the kind comments. He cats do keep me busy especially with the added kittens and their Mom who moved in. One of the kittens, Buddy, especially, since he has soooo much personality. He has two black sisters and they all have such a good time playing all day long.
ReplyDeleteThanks again everyone and especially Ann who so kind to do this.
We remember when Salt & Pepper first came to Marg's. It is so good to hear she and all her kitties are doing well ! We send purrayers and Power of the Paw to them all !
ReplyDeleteGreat pics!
ReplyDeleteWe are glad Marg and the cats are doing well x
Marg is a Special Bein!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to hear Marg is doing well. Thanks for the update.
ReplyDeleteOh we love Marg's kitchen art-fied, wonderful job Mrs Ann.
ReplyDeleteMarg & all the animals, we miss you and think about you often.
Better with cat hair than bird feathers.
ReplyDeleteYour Salt & Pepper art is absolutely darling! Thank you for the update on dear Marg.
ReplyDeleteWe are so glad to know that Marg and her animals are doing okay. We surely do miss our dear friends! XO
ReplyDeleteSalt and Pepper are breathtaking
ReplyDeleteHi Marg! We're glad all is well at your place. I love those photos of Salt & Pepper - how DO people eat without cat hair in their food? MOL!
ReplyDeleteIt is so good to know that Ms Marg is still helping kitties and we send her and her family tons of purrs and prayers. We wish we could help but you live far from us dear friend. Thanks so much for the update. Marg we always think of you!
