But I felt he does feel a bit lonely so I decided to find a little friend for him. Georges being FIV+, he or she needed to be FIV+ as well of course. Somewhat unfortunate, but it’s still easy to find cats who are FIV+ infected and I ended up again at Kat Zoekt Thuis where I found Georges two months ago. https://www.cocoacrumbs.com/blog/2024-03-26-meet-georges/ Tue, 26 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.cocoacrumbs.com/blog/2024-03-26-meet-georges/ I always toyed with the idea of taking a second cat into my house. Unfortunately, Minou wasn’t very open to that idea since she preferred a more solitary life. Minou fought very hard to recover from her latest illness but unfortunately Minou lost the last battle. With Minou gone, my house felt empty and soulless and I very quickly picked up the idea again to search for a new cat in my life. https://www.cocoacrumbs.com/blog/2024-03-24-passing-away_of_minou/ Sun, 24 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.cocoacrumbs.com/blog/2024-03-24-passing-away_of_minou/ Always having had a weak health, the last infection was too much for you. I hope you found Molly in heaven who you always searched for every evening since she passed away. She is dearly missed. https://www.cocoacrumbs.com/blog/2023-05-06-passing-away_of_molly/ Sat, 06 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.cocoacrumbs.com/blog/2023-05-06-passing-away_of_molly/ After an unequal battle against maggots and despite the best efforts of the doctors at the dierenkliniek UGent, Molly passed away on May 6, 2023. She is dearly missed. https://www.cocoacrumbs.com/blog/2019-10-22-knobbi-and-simba/ Tue, 22 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.cocoacrumbs.com/blog/2019-10-22-knobbi-and-simba/ I got a new set of photos today of Knobbi & Simba in their new home. They’re 7 months old already. It’s always nice to see they’re doing well. Time sure flies. Knobbi & Simba I Knobbi & Simba II Knobbi brushing up his literary skills. Simba sunbathing.

Their mother, Molly, wants to be outside as well and seems to be quite interested in the tomcats that walk outside. Luckily we finally could sterilize her a few weeks ago otherwise we would end up with a new nest of kittens in no time. But since she stays very shy we don’t know if she will return back if let her out. https://www.cocoacrumbs.com/blog/2019-04-27-sunbathing-kittens/ Mon, 22 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.cocoacrumbs.com/blog/2019-04-27-sunbathing-kittens/ Almost 5 weeks old now and they already start exploring their surroundings. And they definitely like the sun. Enjoy. . . . . https://www.cocoacrumbs.com/blog/2019-04-10-hello-world-kittens/ Wed, 10 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.cocoacrumbs.com/blog/2019-04-10-hello-world-kittens/ Hello World! Kittens are 3 weeks old now and are taking their first steps. . . . Shy mother cat is not happy with all the attention for her kittens. https://www.cocoacrumbs.com/blog/2019-03-18-discovering-that-the-cat-is-a-she/ Mon, 18 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.cocoacrumbs.com/blog/2019-03-18-discovering-that-the-cat-is-a-she/ My feral, rescue cat (I named her Molly in the meantime, after the late cat of my parents) is extremely shy and in the past weeks I barely saw her. The only way you would know a cat is in the house is because food is disappearing while the litterbox is (rapidly) filling up. However, I soon found out that Molly is a she. Monday morning around 6 AM, I heard faint meowing… Running downstairs to the living room I found her, behind the curtains, giving birth to her second kitten. https://www.cocoacrumbs.com/blog/2019-02-27-taking-a-feral-in-house/ Wed, 27 Feb 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.cocoacrumbs.com/blog/2019-02-27-taking-a-feral-in-house/ Taking A Feral Cat In House. When visiting my mother in her apartment I noticed a cat was living in the underground garage of the building. The underground garage. Not the best place to live, even for a cat. Asking around, it turned out that this cat must have been living there for at least a year. Surviving on food left behind from a compassionate neighbor and somehow didn’t dare to go out (not surprising, since the garage looks out on one of the busiest streets in Ghent).
