apple that my wife had put out for the squirrels. She was fighting
the fire ants for the food. She was terrified of anyone. She would
run if I got within 50 feet of her. I fell in love with her. I
started feeding her. ...

Recently a friend's sister had to be put in a nursing home and she gave her
beloved cat Rambo to him to take care of. He had to move into an apartment
and being on public assistance cannot afford the $300.00 deposit.

Question About Cat Behavior... by
Writerosity
I know that cats hunch their backs, bristle their fur and spit when
they are threatened by other animals, but my kitten likes to hunch
his
back when I'm petting him. Why does he do this, if this is behavior
normally associated with fear? TIA

Broken meower by

In the meantime, I am curious because he never meows. He's been around
the neighborhood for several years, and no one has ever heard him
meow. He doesn't even try. His sole vocal ability seems to be hissing

still make the...
