Default IBKFergus is leaving ;-(

I don't want to do this, but don't have much choice. For no reason i
or Joel can fathom, IBKFergus just ripped my thumb to shreds. Its
that bad, i can't use my right thumb to type.

Now I've wrestled with Shmogg all his life and I've had my fair share
of scratches and bites, but never this deep, and never without severe
provocation first.

The deepest cut extends right from the base of my thumb all the way
around to the thumb to the knuckle - about two inches of deep cut,
with other scratches parrellel to it.

This *cannot* happen to Cary, who, being a 2 year old boy, does
provoke her. If it was Cary's thumb, he'd behaving reconstructive
surgery to have it reattached about now. the clawing is *that* severe.

I'd like her to go to a home with people used to ex feral and feral
cats. A home that doens't have children, a home that won't make her
the nervous skitty cat she is here. She is an *excellent* hunter and
would be most suited to barn life rather than a house cat or pet, She
has never been intered in receiving any affection from us, althogh
will occasionally discover how much she likes it if we 'force' it on
her. She does, however, answer to her name.

The Cat Protection Society might take her - theres a lady here in my
suburb that lean me a crate when IBKFergus first got here. If not,
I'll try the Humane Society. Failing that, I'll take her back to work
where the rest of her family is. I don't like the idea of dumping
cats, but she'll have a better chance there than at the RSPCA. The
RSPCA do a great job in many ways, but if I say that she's vicious,
and I feel duty bound to mention it, they'll deem her 'unadoptable'
and just euthanise her because they can't home her forever. And I
don't want her euthanised.

Please purr she finds a home more suitable to her wild nature (if you
know of one around Wollongong, Australia, please let me know). Every
extra hour here increases the risk she might severely hurt and/or
maim Cary, so she's got to go ASAP. Tonight, sadly, will be her last
night here.

Even though my thumb is throbbing, and I know that this is what we
have to do for Cary's sake, I am *heartbroken*. I just hope she can
find a home that will be able to provide her with whatever it is she
needs to become a lap fungus. I feell like *such* a traitor, a
failure, a bad parent etc etc.

And then I have to explain to Cary why his fursister and Evil
Overlord is no longer around.

in tears,

Yowie


I'm so very sorry to hear she has to go, but obviously you can't take
chances with Cary. Purrs that Fergus finds a suitable home, purrs for your
thumb, purrs that Cary doesn't miss her for too long.
