Hemie

I was watching tv one day when this cat jumped the gate I had up at the door cause I have dogs she came in and made it her home. She was pregnant and is a hemingway cat. She had 3 kittens and one of them has the extra toes as well. Before I could have her fixed she now having kittens again. I kept the first 3 she had and tamed 2 other wild cats that showed up. But I live in a rv park so I can't keep all of these new ones. Not sure yet how many she's going to have or how many will have the extra toes. But would like to know more about getting them a good home if she has any. My name is Shelly. I'm really glad I don't have mean dogs cause she just came in and layed down with them. Very brave cat, cause I have 5 dogs.

It seems to me Hemie knew exactly where she was coming to... I sometimes wonder if there is some collective subconscious for animals because I have heard so many stories of someone taking in one feral cat, and then like magic others start arriving too.

I am sure you will have her fixed once the kittens are born. Finding homes for them is another matter - all too often shelters have to put animals to sleep because of lack of space. But kittens usually find homes easier than grown animals. If you do take the trouble of finding them homes, you sure are an angel... You might ask if a local shelter has a foster-home system where volunteers take homeless cats into their homes while they wait for new owners. (It may even be the cat stays with the family. When we gave a foster home to an Aby girl, Bertha, many years back, there was no way we could give her away anymore...

Our cats also love dogs. They grew up to almost one year of age in a family with two Rhodesian ridgebacks and one Saluki, and even though we don't have dogs of our own, every time they see a dog through a window, they start meowing with little friendly meows... Like they miss dogs.

I wish you and Hemie will have a good life together - she obviously chose you and intends to keep you :)

Leena's Books

Tutankhamun

This book travels with the King Tut - Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh exhibition on his world tour of ten cities from March 2018 onwards

Tutankhamun: In My Own Hieroglyphs tells the story, for older children, of the life and afterlife of the famous young pharaoh in his own words. Tutankhamun tells us about the trouble he got into as a child in Akhenaten's palace in the new city of Akhetaten, and how he became a boy pharaoh. As we learn, his life changed a lot when he died as a teenager, and long years of boredom started in his tomb with only his pet monkey Fingers and his treasure for company. He did meet some of the Egyptian gods, of course, and had fun scaring off tomb robbers, but it was mostly rather dull. Then one day, some new and strange people, including a Mr. Howard Carter, arrived and began to take all the treasures out of his royal tomb. Fortunately, through the eyes of his beautiful golden mask, Tutankhamun, could have fun again traveling around the world

Mr Mummific

An ancient friend of mine, Mr Mummific dictated a book about how he became a mummy - and I was his scribe and artist. The book is available at Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk

On my other website www.ancientagypt101.com he continues his stories about life in ancient Egypt.

Another hilarious adventure for children with Mr Mummific, the mummy with attitude. He now tells the story of his mishaps, misunderstandings and misadventures as he leaves his tomb through the False Door to embark on the complicated and dangerous journey to the Afterlife aboard the magnificent Ship of Millions. 

Find the book at Amazon.com  and Amazon.co.uk

The Nephilim Quest Series

The first book in an epic fantasy series based on human mythology. The search for the mythical Watchers, the angels who fathered the Nephilim, the half-angels. A story that moves on three levels - our times, ancient Greece and ancient Egypt.
