Do they know what they've got?
Mr. Clark, I was told, was rescued on a country road, not neutered at
the time. He has some facial scars indicating catfights. I think he remembers enough to know he does NOT like the Out. As far as people and cats, however, he's only mildly fearful of something new (if at all). As soon as a bare baby is put down, he immediately grooms it. If humans sit down and are upset, he's immediately standing on their laps, a paw on each shoulder, rubbing noses, and usually licking. |

What a sweetheart! I also love the image from your other post, of him letting the kittens "nurse" on him while he lay there with a martyred expression. He sounds like a very affectionate, loving cat.

Joyce Once I move, get him a dental, etc., I'm going to see if we can volunteer to do pet therapy. In the meantime, he monitors my stress level closely. They all are affectionate, but he remains the most so. There are occasional times where, however, he and Rhonda will lie facing one another, with her chattering away. At least one sound has special meaning: it gets him to hiss, rise, and give her a straight right jab that sends her flying. He then lies back down with a distinct HARRUMPH. |

Like, forget that stupid diabetic diet while keeping good food in front of her so she can gain ten pounds or so, and pet her more frequently, like 15 hours a day. Robin appreciates his home; but would rather be outdoors on a nice day. He is fearless and is sure he can run off that feral tomcat living in our yard. Djoser knows how well he has it here. He remembers very well how his life was 13 years ago. He was traumatized so the memories will never fade. He feels that I am his goddess and I brought him to heaven. He adores me and follows me and even leads me about the house. He would be lost without me. I can't sleep without him beside me. -- CATherine |
