You may remember Herbert, the feral kitten we adopted about seven months ago from the wonderful organization, “Love Your Feral Felines.”
Here he is all ‘growed’ up, and definitely a most important member of the family!
If it weren’t for ‘Love Your Feral Felines,’ Herbert would have been euthanized. He is such an amazing, social and loving cat, and he always looks you straight in the eye! We are very grateful to have him.
Herbert enjoys being my secretary cat, but has difficulty following directions. (This reminds me of all my report cards from elementary school, and I still, proudly, have this problem).
Herbert goes through kleenex like nobody’s business. (Now my husband will know why he is buying me so many boxes of kleenex. He thought it was my allergies.) You can’t keep secrets when you blog…….
Here he is being “King of the Fountain,” in his own private courtyard!
Cheers to you from ever vigilant Herbert, the no longer feral cat~

Cats are always “most important”, that’s the way they think of themselves 😉
And Herbert is really beautiful! ❤️
“Cats are always “most important”, that’s the way they think of themselves.”
Exactly! And in their case, who can disagree with their priorities!!! Laughing…..
Herbert is a handsome chap and I’m so happy he’s found a home with you!
Thank you Emma. We are happy too! 😻
I imagine not only ‘king of the fountain’, but king of the household too ? – none rule our hearts as well as cats do – yes! ?
Yes, emphatically so! Thank you for knowing & cheers to you 😻
He’s beautiful 💖 So glad he found a forever home, the alternative doesn’t bear thinking about.
We just encountered a homeless cat at the beach. A homeless man feeds him everyday. There is is a lesson here isn’t there.
There really is!

What a handsome Herbert!
He thinks you have excellent taste! 😉
Aww…! 😀
He’s so handsome! 🙂 Always wonderful to see happy pets, but especially an ex-feral or stray <3
Live and learn. I had no idea that feral kittens make such awesome pets! 😻
He’s quite a little tiger!
He’s a wild cat! 😺
He’s gorgeous!
He’s got an amazing personality to match! 😺
🙂
What a beauty!
Inside and out. He makes our family complete 😻
Herbert is a cat with “presence” Cindy. He looks like a real character.

Merry Christmas!

Oh my goodness! Herbert is beautiful. I love cats so much, and Herbert is like the perfect cat. <3
I love people who love cats! <3 😺
Herbert is gorgeous, what a beautiful boy. xxx
He is a beauty, inside and out 😺
Just Beautiful Cindy. Herbert is so lucky to have such a wonderful home full of so much love! He is one lucky pet !!! Photos are great. Especially love the last one.
Awww, so kind. Thank you. I hope you feel better and better everyday and are fully healed by Christmas <3
I wish full healing would be that soon Cindy! Realistically, my surgeon said at least 2 months to recover. Alot was done down there and mt body us trying to adapt to all the trauma.
Sounds difficult. Sending you my hopes and prayers <3 <3
Thanks Cindy. I need all the prayers I can get. Very miserable right now. See my surgeon for followup on Thurs. Did manage to go out to an event last evening with a group i belong to on a large Christmas parade boat. Paid in advance and we did alot of prior planning. When I do a post about it, don’t be deceived by my smiles. Lot of padding and pain meds taken to hold up. Didn’t want to be a Debbie Downer for the others. Everthing else I had planned last week, I cancelled. Just too much pain to enjoy.
I am so sorry. It sounds truly awful. Hoping you get relief soon <3
Hi Herbert! You are a beautiful cat!
Herbert thinks you have excellent taste, and so do I!!! 😻
King of the domain!
Absolutely, as long as he doesn’t see the cougar that is tracking around The Holler now!
I’m not particularly a feline-lover, Cindy, but even I have to admit Herbert is a handsome dude! He seems way more fascinated by your camera than Dallas does, which makes for lots prettier photos!
He makes direct eye contact with everyone, including the camera lens. Usually only wild animals do this.
Really? I didn’t know that. That’s interesting!!
🐅
Love these photos!
I am so glad you do, thank you!
He grew into a beautiufl cat!
He did, in temperament too. <3
He has very cool cheek stripes! 🙂
He does. He thinks he’s a tiger, but that’s only because he has never seen a tiger!
Such a handsome lad! Both blessed and a blessing. He reminds me of my Amber girl…miss her very much. Hugs to you Cindy!
So sorry about Amber, but happy you had her <3 🦁
Such a beautiful furbaby
He is, in every way 🦁 <3
Adore the last one, giving rise to a bit of personality.
Ahhh, glad you enjoyed. He has personality to spare!! 🦁
Pretty cat. Glad you were able to give him a home.
Thanks! We are glad too. 🦁
He is gorgeous. I’m glad you found each other.
It is a catastic match! <3 🦁
Herbert is a handsome fellow. I enjoyed your photos of him and the commentary, too.
Awww, thank you & so glad you did. Cheers to you & Happy Holidays! 🦁
Happy Holidays to you, Cindy!
<3
Herbert is a beautiful cat. I like cats.
I like people who like critters! Merry Christmas Beverly <3
Thank you and same to you. God bless you.
And you, sweet lady <3
