belated introduction
 

In my typical fashion, I've done everything bass-ackwards ... so ... I'd like
to introduce myself now.

My cat's name is Oscar. She's a "domestic longhair" of the grey variety, or in
other words, a mutt. I've had her since she was a kitten; she was born in the
wild. Well, the wilds of the bottom side of someone's deck where her mother
was hiding. She's always been skittish and a bit touchy, but I love her
dearly and try to keep her happy and respect her mood swings.

I abhor declawing and strongly believe in spaying/neutering, though I did feel
awful for Oscar while she was recovering from being spayed. It's such an
invasive procedure =/

Anyway, that's me.

Hi Monique and welcome :)
I know what you mean about feeling bad when they get spayed. Even though we
know it's for the best, it's still hard to watch them go through it.

Welcome to the newsgroup, Monique! How old is Oscar? Longhaired gray kitties
are gorgeous. Looking forward to hearing about her.

Thank you! She's not quite four years old. I think she's gorgeous; my mother
in law claims she has "wild eyes" and is not to be trusted. I'll admit she's
a bit ... temperamental. But she avoids strangers, anyway, so it's not really
a problem. She was 8 weeks old when I got her from a stray's litter; I don't
know if that short of a time was enough to make her more suspicious and
nervous than cats who were born indoors.
