Purring For Herman & Karen Jo
There's a cat on the Cat Blogosphere named Herman. He's a very special cat and he has a very special Mum, Karen Jo. For a long time, Karen Jo didn't have a cat of her own, but she loved the cats of the Cat Blogosphere and would write very funny & touching limericks about them on her blog Kitty Limericks
Then, one day, Karen Jo decided that the time was right for her to offer a home to a cat. Karen Jo met and fell in love with Herman. Now Herman wasn't just any cat. Herman had been through some baaad times, he'd lost his home, been passed around like a parcel, left outside, gotten infected with FeLv & FiV, finally been rescued and was now living safely in a foster home. He'd kinda lost his spirit a little bit along the way and Karen Jo was just the kind of tonic that a cat like Herman needed. It was meant to be.
Over the months we have read of Herman's new life at Herman's Hideaway Through delightful conversations between Herman & Karen Jo, we learned how Herman started to snuggle on the bed, how he'd learned to wake her up in the mornings, how he started playing with toys, how he purred and made happy paws in the air. This is Herman making happy paws....
Herman has recently been diagnosed as being in an advanced stage of active FeLv. He's been poorly for a little while now. Whilst his time on earth may be precarious, we know that Karen Jo is a great cat Mom to him and is giving him the very best care he could have. Herman will want for nothing. He is a very precious mancat.
We would like to send our rumbly purrs to Herman & Karen Jo. We wish them good times together, we wish them love.
So, please crank up your purr motors and join us in
Brian's Home is hosting a special Purrs4Herman today, Sunday, so lets all head over there and show our love for this very special mancat & his Mom

We have been over to see Karne Jo and Herman and left wet noses kisses and head butts for them.

What a beautiful post. My lovlies, Casper and Angel, and I will be purring and praying for Herman. How wonderful that he finally found such great love.
Thank you for stopping by to visit my new blog. Please drop by any time.
Thanks so much for stopping by and celebrating Saylor's birthday! We've entered you in our giveaway!
We will be praying for Herman, what a hunka-kitty-love!
We're still purraying for Herman! Thank you for the birthday wishes:) ~Tristan
Oh my, sorry to hear you've had these bad 'blockage' issues too! In 38 years of being owned by cats, this is Teri's first purrsonal experience, though of course she sees alot of cats with the same problems where she works. She is still quite worried and afurraid of a reoccurrance, but it's better to be aware and watch closely than in ignorant bliss...
And thanks for stopping by and purring for Brighton...your visits mean a lot to us!
Aww, I'm so glad Herman found his forever home, for however long he has left on earth.
Fanks fer stoppin by - it hardly seems like its been 3 years. So much has happened since TT started bloggin and we has met so many wonderful furiends!

Thank you for your kind words on my brother Tyler's blog. They meant a lot to our mom.
We know Herman. How sad that he's not feeling well lately. We'll head over to give him our love. Thanks!
Jake
We hope things are ok for Herman. We missed out on a lot being away from blogging. We just wanted to say hi and we hope you will stop by our blog again soon. We are getting back into blogging when our human allows it.
I have given all of you an award.
Herman
Hey, you posted. And we missed it. Karen Jo has a good heart. It's hard to take in an animal knowing you might lose it at any time because you quickly grow so attached. It's easier to take in a young kitten figuring you'll have a lot of years before you have to say good-bye. It doesn't always work out that way, but special needs animals need special humans.
That was a really nice post. Good job.
Will pray for Herman and his mom. I know this is a hard time for them.
DEAR FRIEND We've been purring for sweet Herman .
Oh, Herman has my special purrs. He is a precious kitty and we have been following his doings ever since he came to live with the lovely Karen Jo.
Thankyou for coming to visit me while I was poorly. Much appreciated. I am almost fully recovered now, just moving a little slower than normal.
Oh sweet Herman we iz purrin! We'll go tell Karen Jo dats all of us won't stop until he iz feelin' better.
On behalf of Tammy Faye's fambly, we want to thank you for visiting and leaving such comforting words on our memorial post.
Padre, Panda Bear, Meerkat, Cookie, and Caramel
Hey Everycat!! It was nice to hear from you. I hope you and your kitties are doing well.
I wonder how precious Herman is now?
Thank you, Whicky for your kind comment on my blog. I try to teach people about bunnies as some of them have such an unhappy life stuck in a hutch. It makes my mum want to cry.
Love,
Harvey the House bunny.
Nose taps...
I am so behind I had no idea, yet Karen Jo is one of my original blogging friends... I am so sorry!
I hope you guys are okay too, as it's been some time since you've blogged! oxo
Dear frendz,

Hello darling Whicky.
Thank you for the purr-out for Herman, Whicky! We will put our whiskers and tails together and purr hard for him. Sending Herman all our love.... PURRRRR
It's been a long time since our last visit and we've missed you lots.
We were so sorry to read that Angel has gone to the bridge. She was a true beauty -- inside and out.
Ms. P and Cinza
It was so great to hear from you!!
Our woman's eyes filled with tears when she read about Angel. There was something very special about your sweetie; you could just tell from her eyes that she was a gentle, loving spirit.
Ms. P and Cinza
I really hope everyone is better now, and that Herman is doing Ok. It's no fun to be sick. I don't like it when my eyes get bad, so I can only imagine what it's like for poor Herman. Here's hoping tha bad feeling goes away soon.
We've been purring for both Herman and Karen Jo, and will crank up to volume too .Paloma,Wu an Lud

thanks for coming by on my Gotcha Day, Whicky!!!
We're back, waiting for your next post!!
Whicky, we signed and commented on the petition for you. We can't link to your email address and email you from our computer, so we are adding this onto your blog. These beans made us sick, that they would be that horrible to other living creatures!
Hope you update soon on your blog and let us know the results of the punishment of these idiots either on the Cat Blogosphere or here or both!
Thanks for letting us know how we could help.

We know you don't blog much, but we had to leave you a message to thank you for wishing Zoe a happy Gotcha Day! We should have told more about the shelter - our mom says that no one should feel sad for those cats there. They're not in cages, and they have company for lots of hours most every day. The ladies that work the shelter love those cats so much, and they are very particular as to who adopts their cats. It's very sweet.
Anyway, thank you again - you kitties are super!!
Your friends, Fuzzy and Zoe
Doing a little CATch up work today and wanted to say thank you for leaving kind words at my place when my grandma left. Your kind words helps us all to feel a little better when we were sad. What a good friend you are!
Thanks from,
Gracie, Daddie, & Mommie
ps: Will purrr really hard for Sweet Herman to be better with the health.
Fank yoo so much!
