a huge amount of time in a shpping container.

Thanks for posting such a cute story! I also found a video here
that's interesting in that you can see how they captured her by
removing pallets, luring her with food, and finally just reaching
under and grabbing her with gloved hands.

What a beautiful story!! Of course, it's driving me crazy that they
keep calling her a calico when she's clearly a tortoiseshell like my
Princess Rita. I'm so glad she's found a home. She deserves it.
What a survivor!

I chuckled at the statement "she's only 6 months old so she's still doing
the kneading thing." LOL, I guess nobody told Roxy that by 12 years old she
was supposed to have stopped.

Persia still kneads, too. She stopped for a little while but started up
again a few months ago. I can always count on her kneading my side at
bedtime She's approximately 13.

Heck, Sammy is 6 years old and she still sucks on her back toe while
kneading my flabby belly! She sucks LOUDLY too - like she's really going to
get some milk out of that toe. LOL!

You're quite lucky then, because last night, what I felt was
bunnykicking on my left arm, accompanied by chomping on my elbow. I
ignored it, but I know who it was.

It wasn't Dot, because that would involve nestling into my right arm
and rythmically plucking at my clothing.

.....I thought torti's didn't have white fur(?) Just the mixture of black
and orange/ginger/tan(?)

Of course, not all calico cats are the classic mostly white with black
and orange patches, that we see so often.

THat aside, Mandarin is still one VERY LUCKY KITTEN!

Beyond just surviving the trip, she was lucky enough to go to a country
where she got immediate, excellent veterinary care.

Imagine if she had gotten into a container that was sent to a third
world country

When the container was opened, who knows what would have happened to
her?

It would be nice if all this publicity helps some of the other cats and
kittens in the shelter where Mandarin is to get adopted.

-TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie.

Every day is a treasure with Kenzie; I try to treat them that way. There
will only be so many, and then there will never, ever, be any more.
