I apologize, but I could not find one single news article about this lady, but plenty of videos.

but I did find one website that had pictures at least.

Reuter's Video Report

Quote from: reuters video

Aug. 9 - Nina Kostsova in Novosibirsk has opened up her heart, and her home, to street cats for 15 years and now has one of her two rooms occupied by around 130 cats.

Kostsova says her biggest problem is taking time to pet all the cats and coming up with names for new-comers. "One is named Watson, one Sherlock, one Bush, Clinton. But, by the way, I don't have a Putin," she said.

One look around the apartment shows Kostsovo works hard to keep all the cats clean and well fed. Besides feeding them twice a day, once with porridge and once with dry cat food, Kostsovo also makes sure all male cats are castrated.

She also tiled her entire apartment to make it easier to clean.

Why did they have to use the term castrated? Did they lop off their cocks or neuter them like you're supposed to?

Neuter as in to remove the testes.

Yes, my brother sent me the cat lady video with them leaping over one another like trout at feeding time and asked why I didn't tell him the camera crews had been at our house. Ahhahaha...

Then they should have just said neutered.

They should've but didn't, likely due to retardation of some sort.

That last story in the first pos tis the crazy one.
Look at the picture of that house! I t appears indicative of a house that was clean or at least habitable at some point in the past and then eventually degraded. Sadnesses happening.

Ideally, she needs 65 cat boxes; 2 per cat. We have 5, use Tidy Cat Crystals, and scoop then twice a day. We ain't putting up with no stinky house.

Twice a day?
Fuck you.

I've trained my cat to go outside to do her thing, all my cats have done it for the last 5-6 years. We don't even own a litter box anymore.

That's all fun and games until I'm trying to do some work in the flower beds.

Besides, only two of our cats go outside. Sure saves money on Advantage.

Well I don't work in Flower begs....in fact I don't even have any. So it works like a charm for me.

Ours are mostly clear space and spider plants, but it negates having to weedeat along the fence line. And you have sensibly-sized dogs. I need at least some portion of the yard that isn't a dog track - Sean is half-pointer and he can run.

More if the rat terrier uses one of the boxes. The cats get mad and won't use that one.

B E C K · « **Reply #15 on:** Sep 30, 2007, 05:27:39 PM »

I'd get mad, too.

Alas, a purpose for that particular emoticon.

It has many purposes.

Like your ass.

Its first purpose is to be a butt.
