Louie around the house (4) So things are going smoothly with Louie. He is always there to “help” with whatever you are doing. His Turbo Trac oval he slept in for a little while has been reconfigured to a circle again and he is whipping the ball around at warp speed. Maybe he wants to create a wormhole. He wants to pull pictures off the wall, so I had to remove some. Then he pulled out the picture hanging hooks! When he is done with his food, he covers it with toys or a sock. Later he will ome back to eat more. Sometimes I find a ball in his water fountain. He likes to ride around on my shoulder like a parrot when I walk around.
A house in Tacoma was raided and 105 cats removed. Only one deceased one. They got farmed out and some are ready for adoption. The thought did cross my mind–you know what it was–but I did not want to become a hoarder myself. On the legal front Louie’s hoarder mom has been to trial 4 times and had 8 hearings but no resolution. Two hearings scheduled for October with jury trial scheduled Oct 28th. November last year the cats were rescued. December I brought Louie home. Her sister said I paraphrase she had mental issues since she was a child and would never intentionally hurt the animals.
Finally a bonus original not AI photo from Northwest Trek Animal Park.

Louie really has made himself at home. Animal hoarding stories always makes me sad. The animals are the ones that always suffer.

My dad says that his very old pal Isaac used to love to walk around the apartment on dad’s shoulder like that, too. He was quite the chunky old guy, but dad would carry him like that everywhere.

I’m saddened when I hear about animal abuse. Louie is lucky he has a good home with you. That’s a cool shot of the mountain lion.

Too cute! My dad was “adopted” by a large gray Maine Coon cat who used to ride around on his shoulder. Actually, he could walk around with the cat draped over his shoulders like a collar! From all his antics, I can tell Louie loves his human daddy. 🥰

Louie is a cutie. I started seeing a therapist years ago when I reached 15 cats because I was afraid of becoming one. I stopped therapy 2 years ago and haven’t taken in any other cats since then so I guess I am cured.

Love that he covers his food with a sock and comes back to finish it. Roary will occasionally drop a toy in his water bowl……..I believe those are “gifts” thanking you and I for his food/water 🙂

Is Louie’s hoarder mom under restriction forbidding her to own any animals? It sounds like the court is hung up on whether she is mentally fit to stand trial, though speaking from experience, people like her can appear very “normal.” (I used to have a neighbor who was a dog hoarder. I don’t think she went to jail, but her house was condemned and the 30 dogs who lived there were mostly put to sleep because they all had parvo and behavior issues.) She probably has no idea she did anything wrong. Which is sad and terrible.
Anyway, it’s nice to see one cat come out of there and into a good home. Lucky Louie! And I’ve always wanted to go on the wildlife trek! Maybe on my next visit to Washington.

Hoarding animals is a heart breaker. Mostly for the pitiful abused animals but those of us who love animals suffer too in the knowledge that there is nothing done about it and no resolution.

It breaks my heart whenever I hear about animal abuse.
If the sister knew what her sister was like, why didn’t she do anything about the situation? She is as much to blame and should also be held accountable. Enough is enough.

We will see how it plays out but it has dragged on so long I think no good resolution is ahead.
