Safety Reminder for the holidays
I did look at a couple of the ASCPA links to refresh my memory; thanks.
I have three (3) cats --- only one of which I actually got for myself. The other two (2) adopted me. One ( Son, a male Siamese ) ran away from a previous next door neighbor whose 2-3 year old use to terrorize the poor cat by holding it underwater in the bathtub. It was always chaos next door. The other male (Buddy) was a stray feral type cat that came around begging for food during the winter (wet & cold here in California). The first time I went to pet him he bit my hand which swelled up the size of a softball). Now he sleeps with me and one couldn't ask for better well behaved cat. I've since moved and have 4-5 Strays that I leave dryfood out for 24/7. As much as I'd like to take them in; I can't, or won't. I live in a Studio. I do worry about the Strays like when the Weatherman says brings in all pets ... but they all seem to have survived so far. I can only hope that the food I leave out (dry & sometimes canned) provides them the energy and warmth they need to get through the night. Call Animal Control is not an option; here in Redding, CA they usually end up dead from disease at the Haven Human Shelter or compassionately euthanasia. |
