Mickey, One eyed boy from Marilyn Street, Now a Canadian Citizen

Marianne, who adopted Mickey, the one eyed long hair orange and white cat who was in dire straits when I first met him, just sent me another photo of him. Mickey now lives in Canada, with a former clown, who is a teacher. Mickey weighed in at barely five pounds and was on deaths door when I netted him. An eye, infected with herpes and then a bacteria, ruptured. I had seen his blood streaked side as he dashed out of an old car he slept in. The next morning, I netted him. His eye was removed courtesy of donations from the likes of Mike and Linda, a Portland couple I've never met. I named him after Mike and Linda. Originally I called him "Miklinda." Now he's just "Mickey" and a happy cat at that!

Freezing Rain? Snow? Ice? Not Here.

 We are having sunny days. But they are cold.  And at night, temps dip to nearly 20 degrees or mid 20's.   This has been going on awhile...
