We've always taken care of strays too.....be it feeding them, or finding ill strays and taking them to a nearby vet. I think God places animals in the path of people who have a soft heart for them.

They have been domesticated over many years like pet dogs, too, and should be kept as indoor cats. People mistakenly think they are meant to be free in the outdoors, but this is not the case. Having cats inside safe and warm is what keeps them happy and having windows for them to look outside.<br /><br />I think this is a wonderful cause, Doris! Smokey is just too cute!-https://www.blogger.com/profile/04964347857163044017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127165336662399464.post-64856094085243803832011-01-20T19:09:46.031-05:002011-01-20T19:09:46.031-05:00i'm not even a cat person, but smokey is a rea...i'm not even a cat person, but smokey is a really handsome guy! i love the color of his fur, and it does look very soft and perfect for petting. :)<br />you are so kind to take care of him and the other strays! smokey acutally reminds me of a stray cat that my husband and i used to feed in our old neighborhood. we named him shadowfax. he was a similar gray color, but he was a short hair.<br /><br />the booker man and asa's mama<br /><br />p.s. -- booker wants me to thank you and gizzy for voting for his new header picture. :)the booker manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14492621421326726384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127165336662399464.post-33578323992098510932011-01-20T07:25:30.933-05:002011-01-20T07:25:30.933-05:00Awww!

We were at a youth fundraisor for our church. And there were kittens there. Next to a business... Lucky- was very friendly and cute. We brought him home with us. Although he does still live outside, he is happy here and loves us very much. :) We also have another stray that was given to us by my SIL.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02976976764899274566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127165336662399464.post-30985369216840623722011-01-19T13:24:38.702-05:002011-01-19T13:24:38.702-05:00Liebe Doris

I know Smokey loves you just as much as you love him.<br /><br />When I lived with my parents, I had a neighbor friend who used to feed the stray kitties. They moved away so I took over the feeding. And then slowly, they all just disappeared. I had names for all of them so it made me sad. I never did figure out what happened to them. <br /><br />Now where I live, I rarely see strays anymore.sprinkleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081967372702276914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127165336662399464.post-82926644901306427882011-01-18T20:36:03.768-05:002011-01-18T20:36:03.768-05:00Oh my goodness, Doris, he is a gorgeous cat!!

Then son found a stray kitten in terrible shape. They brought him home and bathed and fed him, but offered him to other people becauss their cat would absolutly not accept him! They thought their cat would kill it. But acceptance did happen! They kept the kitten, who is huge and sleek now, and the two cats are best of friends. And have you seen Remington's blog? That huge Newfoundland is best friends with their kitten.

I can tell that you are doing a great job of it from looking at all of those gorgeous pictures of him! He really looks like a sweetie too! My dogs don't like cats either. And you are right, once a cat or dog is used to being outside they really don't want to be confined inside all the time. Both of my dogs are outside dogs. I live in the country and it is perfectly fine for them to do so. They sleep in the garage at night. Right now one of them is in the living room snoozing on the floor for a bit so I do let them in when they want some attention in the Winter. But they do prefer to be outside dogs. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing about the need to help out the strays when we can!<br /><br />Tuesdays' Show & Tail!<br />AngelaAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240864960032938754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127165336662399464.post-25798410618808212572011-01-18T15:02:49.904-05:002011-01-18T15:02:49.904-05:00Doris, you always amaze me.

Although, my Puddims and her Casper don't really care for them, they tolerate one of them and fight with the other. For a time, mom would keep her screen door cracked so the cats could come and go, but the raccoons started coming in and that was the end of that!Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09468809752882660075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127165336662399464.post-48335716370843775652011-01-18T14:27:02.519-05:002011-01-18T14:27:02.519-05:00Oh Doris, what a sweet story.

Unfortunately I cannot :( <br /><br />I always rescue dogs on my street. Both Mom and I are always finding stray dogs somewhere nearby, I think we are known as the dog catchers, in a good way, that is! Always feed them and water them until their owners call back or whatever. <br /><br />As for feeding the strays... people think I am weird, but I've been throwing peanuts in my backyard. We have TONS of squirrels. I just throw them over my back and say "oops!". And they always disappear so fast!Furry Bottomshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06126096393524594755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127165336662399464.post-68393983998737812242011-01-18T13:44:25.952-05:002011-01-18T13:44:25.952-05:00Oh Doris he is a pretty cat - I know why you named...Oh Doris he is a pretty cat - I know why you named his Smokey.
