Today is the first Monday without sweet, old-man Newt’s picture. I miss him dearly after so many years. I thought he was doing well for his age. Had he shown any signs of illness, Robyn? His demise seemed to happen quickly. Thank you and Fred for all you do, you are the truly the best.

He was doing really well and had even gained a little weight, but then he stopped wanting to eat. We got to the point where if he so much as set one foot in the kitchen we’d offer him anything we thought he might eat, and we limped along like that for a while, but he just.. wound down. I don’t know any other way to describe it, but if you’ve seen it, you know what I mean. We’ve been through this enough that we knew we were coming to the end, and so we made the decision.

Will you be adding some of her [Natalie] pictures in favourite pictures or in a little memorial garden section for her?

She has her own page (linked from the All Fosters page), I’m not planning to do anything beyond that.

Edited to add: Natalie is buried beneath a beautiful rose bush in our back yard, and someone sent us an angel cat statue, so I’ve placed that under the rose bush (don’t know why I completely forgot to mention that!)

With bonus Khal (left) and Rocco (in the window on the other side of the fence.)

Sydney in the window, keeping an eye on me.

And Sydney on my leg, keeping an eye on me.

Carmy says “Peekaboo!”

We went on a field trip to the dining room, just because. Jeff liked this scratcher, but wasn’t sure about the rest of it.

Carmy said “What?”

Carmy and Richie curled up for a nap.

Sydney loves this soft blanket.

But THEN Richie put on his floof suit.

Because he saw Uncle Khal! (Who only wanted in the room because he saw me there.)

While Sydney considered whether she had the energy to put on her floof suit, Uncle Khal said “I don’t like it in here. Let me out?” So I did!

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr) yesterday.

Happy Halloween, from Queen Tina, who is feeling peckish. Hop to it, peasants!

Happy Halloween from Tina, who is about to take to the skies in search of Churu. (She is actually wearing the wings; the rest is photoshopped. In case you were wondering.)

Richie wonders if you’ve seen his stapler. (Happy Halloween!)

Throw Back Thursday: Happy Halloween, tasty humans! (d’Artagnan, 2020)

Happy Halloween from Tina the witch. (The thing about Tina is that her head is so tiny that unless they’re very small, hats don’t really sit right on her head. This would be a better pic if you could see that that’s a witch hat with a kicky orange band!)

Happy Halloween from Carmy whose wings are a bit bent… but that doesn’t bother him one tiny bit!

Throw Back Thursday: “Howdy, partner.” Happy Halloween! (Wild Bill Hickok, 2020)

Happy Halloween from Tina the hungry little bat.

Super Sydney is here to save your Halloween!

“Moo.” Happy Halloween from Tina, who has the tiniest little head of any adult cat I’ve ever known, which makes it so that you can’t really tell she’s supposed to be a cow here.

Happy Halloween, from lil punkin Jeff.

Throw Back Thursday: That’s right. We did it. We tracked down… THE LOONICORN! Happy Halloween! (Jake, 2013)

Tina is dressed up as a proper southern lady, but she’s not fooling us. Happy Halloween!

Dr. Richie is here for your exam. He hasn’t seen anything like THAT before, but he’s sure it’s not fatal. Happy Halloween!

“Hi ho! It’s Alice the Frog, and I sure hope you have a happy Halloween. Now gimme some Churu.”

Lil devil Tina. Happy Halloween!

Throw Back Thursday: Happy Halloween! (Chicken Jake, 2010.)

Throw Back Thursday: “Don’t make me get out my wand, lady.” Happy Halloween! (Tater Tot, 2020)

Chef Tina canNOT believe you burned the Beef Wellington. AGAIN. Get out of her kitchen, she can’t even stand to look at you. (But have a Happy Halloween, ya donkey.)

Throw Back Thursday: Happy Halloween! (It’s a Janeway o’ Lantern, 2023)

Throw Back Thursday: Keeping his eye out for the bat signal. Happy Halloween! (Porthos, 2020)

Happy Halloween, from this magical creature. (Tina, of course.)

Throw Back Thursday: Little Stefan on the Prairie needs to get that butter churned. Happy Halloween! (2016)

Finishing off this insane day of Halloween kitty pics with my very favorite: our sweet boy Dennis from 2016. He was the BEST, and I miss him every day. ❤️ Hope your Halloween was fabulous!
