It would be so nice if all stories had happy endings. Unfortunately they don’t. Real life is quite different from reel life. Every once in a while one is shaken up to drive home the fact that we are not God. We can try our best but that is all that we an do. We […]
A golden bone in the mouth
Don’t think that the human world has the monopoly on fairy tale ending or rags to riches stories. Although I have a vast reservoir of stories of our very own four legged creatures, I must share these little stories with you to show that good things can and do happen in this big bad world! […]
Here come the babies…
Life is nothing but a loving meow. That one I coined, I confess. And motherhood is the most beautiful feeling on earth. This one is likely to get more people to nod I guess. I watched my kids being born, Kit Kit’s water bag burst when she was seated on my lap. And just like […]
The longest day
This story needs to be told. It’s not one that I want to relive by even writing about it. Yet this being a reality one just can’t brush it aside though I want to believe it was an aberration and not a norm. The day was a typical Sunday. Hectic. More so because there were […]
Litty – the magic cat
Puddy littered. This was certainly not her first litter but it was definitely her last. Somehow we had just not been able to muster up enough courage to get her operated and Puddy being Puddy, was not to be stopped by pills, unlike some of our other cats. We were rather worried as her half-yearly […]
The day I fell from grace
One moment you are the only one in someone’s life and next moment… I am sure some of you must have experienced this and will agree, it really hurts. Maybe, yesterday’s boyfriend has left you or the kid who hero worshipped you discovered your Achilles heel? Whosoever it is, it can make you really feel […]
Patch
Some stories are best left unsaid. Yet the story telling would remain incomplete without them. Losing a pet is like losing a member of the family. When it happens to one that is young or when it happens ‘unnecessarily’ it leaves a permanent wound that never quite fills up. When we moved into our last […]
Lost and Found
You have heard by now many of our rescue stories. Well, I have a confession to make. A few of our four legged friends, at times, feel that they need to explore the world beyond the fence. Actually only about three of the thirty get these urges to explore. What follows once they escape has […]
A Tale of Two Kitties
I would like to clarify a thing or so. We are not kit-nappers. Contrary to what cat numbers in our house would indicate, we do not delight in bringing home furry felines for no rhyme or reason. Our first instinct when we see kittens (or puppies, for that matter) is to try and get them […]
The brave four legged
Shifting into a new house always began with a promise – “We will not repeat the same mistakes.” This basically meant, not encouraging strays, and not getting too attached to any new animal. Since every new neighbourhood has at least one opinionated, excessively loud individual who can mobilize the entire colony into animal haters, we […]
