Sometimes I wake up before Mommy and I just lie around waiting for her.

What it's Like to be a Foster Carer for Cats - A Guest Post From Sopurrfect.com
Hello and Happy Thursday Purrsday! We've really got something to purr about today! Kristian Taylor of SoPurrfect.com is doing a guest post today! Kristian is a self proclaimed cat lover whose mission is to create the best possible cat experience for his readers by building an online community around cats.

Fostering cats can be an experience that is truly rewarding with the knowledge that you are making a difference. This is by offering the hope of life to sad cats that would somehow be euthanized in kill asylums. Seeing those adorable, cherishing eyes that find superb assenting families makes it worth every second. When you foster, you agree to take a destitute cat into your home and give him or her adoration, attention and care, either for a fixed time-frame or until the cat is adopted.
You should expect to commit to between a couple of weeks to a couple of months. However, every condition is a little bit different. Most little cats are ready to be altered and adopted at around 8-9 weeks of age. If you are fostering a mother cat as well, you can hope to add a couple of weeks to permit the mother's milk to go away and for her to recuperate from her spay process. If you are fostering more old little cats, you might just have them a couple of weeks until they are ready to go to the adoption centre.

My Cat Fainted and She Couldn't Get up! Vasovagal Syncope in Cats
A few months ago I had an experience with Lola that frightened me beyond words. I heard her meowing and knew she was going to vomit; which she doesn’t do that often. (Cat parents will understand that I know the differences in my cats’ meows and what they mean.) When I went to check on her she got startled and she bolted for the other room. Then she started retching heavily and finally vomited, and as soon as she did her limbs became stiff and she fell over onto her side and fainted. She tried to get up and fell over again.

A Small Break
Hello and Happy Thursday Purrsday!
I'm here to tell you today that we will be offline for several days. Mommy is going away because our human cousin (her niece) is graduating from college. This is exciting! We know we haven't been posting much lately, but we do try to visit some of our friends' blogs every day. We'll be back to visiting soon!
We are going to do our Caturday Night Meow on our Facebook page this week because we can schedule the post in advance. We hope you'll join us at 8:00 PM on Caturday!
See you all soon!

Lexy's Favorite Hiding Spot
Hello everyone. Today I'm telling you about one of my favorite hiding spots. Here is a photo of me sitting in Mother's armoire. How do I get in there, you ask? I figured out how to open the door with my nails. Once the door is open I take out some of the clothes to make room, and then I move around some other pieces of clothing to make a comfortable bed.
Sometimes when Mother can't find me she'll see a pile of clothes on the floor and she'll know where I am. I love it in here! It's my own private hideaway, my lair.
Do you have a favorite hiding place?
P.s. Yes, I do get hair all over Mother's clothes.

A City Kitty's View of the World
Hello and Happy Friday! As you know, Lexy and I are city cats. Now, some may think that when we sit in our windows we only see a concrete jungle, but that's not true. Lexy and I have lots of trees, birds and squirrels to watch.
This is the view from our kitchen window. We have lots of trees to see. What you can't see from this angle is the neighbor's yard, with even more interesting stuff. See that balcony right there on the left? We have a doggie friend that lives there and when he comes out we sit and watch each other.
