Hi! I’m Molly Hodgdon. I live in Vermont with my beautiful FIV+ cats Fergus and Francie. Banner photo by W. Eugene Smith. Profile pic is a postcard from my collection mailed 1908.

Not a bot. Not selling anything. Just a keeper of forgotten cats.

Yes! Thanks for putting this together. And keep an extra eye on the pups if they are outside at all. May not think they can get over that tall fence. Might not have ever seen em do it. But a scared dog can get over a fence pretty quick. Even a small dog can. Best to keep them inside.

Yep, a lot of that applies to dogs too! Plus very secure leash/harness (extra helpful if you can attach to yourself, I have one that can go around my waist) even dogs who don’t normally pull can bolt when scared. Of course try to walk/potty break earlier before fireworks start if possible though.

Also, I honestly don't know much about dogs but I think most of this applies to them, too? I do know that more pets go missing in the U.S. on the 4th of July holiday than any other time of year, so please just be extra mindful of all the babbys.

Fireworks suck! Here are some tips from cat behaviorist Mikel Delgado for keeping your cats safe and happy this 4th of July. www.instagram.com/p/C87GFSBpgyk/ 1. Make sure your cats are inside. Even if they normally go out, the 4th is not a good day for them to roam. (con't)

Mother, no. Photo from my collection, 1961.

We now go LIVE to Francie for this update:

I regularly get rude comments from bird watchers and keyboard environmentalists telling me that cats are nasty, diseased creatures and to keep mine indoors (even though my cats are 100% indoor and always have been). Does that mean I think all bird watchers and environmentalists are rude and hostile?

RETVRN to traditional masculinity when Real Men would tote around their babby kitties in case they needed kisses on their fuzzy little heads. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

It seems like a lot of people think of leashed cats as a recent idea but I have many photos like this from throughout the 20th century!
