I agree she's a total sweet cat and I'm glad she chose me to come live with. I happen to have three handsome young "boys" of my own, one of which has an appointment with the vet tomorrow because he is not feeling up to par. - Hilden Awwwww - best wishes and purrs for your boy and the trip to the vet.

"Sherry " wrote in message ... I"m still really puzzled about Biskit. She is just so lovey-dovey she *had* to be well socialized even as a kitten. Someone handled that cat a lot. She runs up to me and FLOPS down, hard, to be rubbed. She's always in your lap. The only thing she is afraid of is the outdoors. I can't help wondering if she got lost somehow from the original owners. She has an old injury on her side that the vet says looks just like a BB gun wound to him. It really makes me wonder. I"ve had lots of strays, but never one that settled in and became so devoted to their owners so fast as her. Sherry Biskit sounds wonderful. It is so fortunate for both of you that she came into your life. MaryL |

"Yowie" wrote For the record, the petshop Fluffy came from got closed down. I don't know the reasons, but I can guess... Poor Fluffy. Frank cowers and hides when he sees a rolled-up newspaper. I can only guess what happened to him. He came to me at age 5 months, after being in two different families before that. I don't know this, but I think there must be a law in Finland prohibiting selling cats and dogs in pet shops, because I've never seen a cat or dog for sale. There might be posters on the wall telling about cat and dogs for sale, but the actual animals are never in the shop. The largest animals you see there are rabbits and birds. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frankiennikki |

So wonderful Shmogg and Fluffy found a great home with you.
Best wishes, -- Polonca & Soncek "Yowie" wrote in message ... Shmogg was obviously a street-cat. Not quite feral (ie, wild and untamable), but certainly street smart. I don't think he had a *bad* life out there, as he wasn't skinny and we've never had any food issues with him. The only "signs" that he was a street cat is that he's not all that affectionate and isn't a lap cat, that tends to bite & scratch if he's not getting his own way. And of course his b*st*rd c*t skills. Fluffy, though, makes me wonder. She was purchased from a pet shop the day she was due to be put down because no-one bought her. snip |
