photos of my fostered cat terri
here is a link to my newly fostered cat terri, her owners moved out of
a house in my town and left her behind, can you believe it!!!??? at first i went round the house, which was still empty and had been since january, to leave food out for her as instructed by local cats protection, but then it was decided, well I decided that this was a silly situation, there was another cold snap onthe way and so took her home. The new owner of house had contacted the cats protection upon finding the cat hanging round her new house as she was not going to be moving in until late march , early april, and the previous owners had moved out at end of january and seh didn;t know what to do as the cat was still there and the neighbours didn't want to help out (nice people! what goes around comes around you know) though they all said it was previous owners' cat. anyway, Terri is her name it turns out, I have phoned the previous owners a few times, no response so far, have had terri with us for a few weeks now, jessie not so keen but coming round to the idea. terri is rather shy and timid, but like to be stroked all the same and she purrs like a little engine when you do stroke her and scritch her neck and chin. She has very thick fur, the condition of which is improving with daily combings and flea treament. She spent the first 3 days hiding under the kitchen sink behind some units, with us pushing plates of tuna under there for her, but she has come out and now spends some time inthe evening sat on the sofa watching tv with us in the evenings. it is beyond me how anyone could possibly leave this little darling behind, she is such a little love, shy but sweet, and loves a few cuddles on her own terms when it is quiet, and she is abolutely gorgeous, although I am probably biased. anyway here is the link http://picasaweb.google.com/bookeram...iseshellTerror hope it works, had nightmare trying to get the photos off the camera and onto the computer Bookie |

Best regards, ---Cindy S. thanks, i am just about to go downstairs and give her a bedtime cuddle and see if she wants a snack before bedtime, I have roast turkey slices in the fridge especially for abandoned tortoiseshell cats to have. she is a little cutie and her timidness kind of adds to her gorgeousness, if you know what i mean |

She is beautiful. i will try to pass on all your adoration, she is currently snoozing curled up on the wide windowsill tucked behind the curtain inthe dining room where it is nice and warm form the sun, just like inthe first few photos. she is still very timid, she kind of scurries about the place keeping very low to the ground at times, but she is calming down a bit with the help of lots of strokes and plates of tuna chunks and roast chicken. My other cat jessie has stopped hissing at her so much now which is also good. yes I agree though; some people are mad to leave behind such a beautiful and sweet animal, they probably didn't want her because she is not 'in your face' friendly and overly affectionate but that is the way she is and it doesn't mean she doesn't deserve a nice home. thanks for all your lovely replies, Bookie and terri |

He is somewhat aggressive, not overly friendly (although he has his moments of purring), he nips (not too hard) and scratches (people and furniture). He can be a little destructive of other things too. He is about two years old. I looked at this cat and said "Well, no one else is going to adopt this kind of aggressive, grumpy, grouchy, somewhat destructive cat, but grumpy, grouchy cats need a home too." He's not exactly the snuggly lap cat I was hoping for (after Molly died), but I love him all the same. That's just how it goes sometimes. Best regards, ---Cindy S. |

She is a very beautiful puss cat, isn't she? I am so pleased that you have offered her a home. She looks a real sweetie pie & I am even more pleased that you didn't have to hand her back to a family that obviously didn't care about her, or they would never have put her in that position in the first place! She is delightful. I hope that Jessie doesn't mind too much, after all, there is plenty of room on any lap for two cats..(ask mine, lol) thanks for sharing those photos.. The thought that came straight to mind when I saw her was, Sugar & spice and all things nice.... Thanks for sharing them with us..I have been looking forward to these photos for ages Wonderful;o) S. |
