I have already spent over $700 on his rescue! Goodness me! Where do live old duck? As you are a star, and a whole some good and kind person. I'll send you a few quid to ease the expenses a little. Seriously. Wow! I'm amazed that you'd offer to help me, someone you don't even know. How generous of you. I'm very touched -- I could use the money, but I just can't accept, knowing that (probably all of) you are likely spending your funds on helping your own rescues. I will make ends meet somehow... hopefully this little fellow will find a home before I'm completely broke. Bless you for offering! |

I wonder whether they have a room for cats with catitudes...I have one
whose latest passion is tipping over the ribbit dishes full of water. She has ruined the hardwood floor in the bedroom. We have to make sure all the water dishes are in the shower when Vixen pays a call upstairs. Sharon Talbert Friends of Campus Cats But, Sharon, those are the cats that are most personable!! I am "catsitting" right now for a young cat who is absolutely hell on wheels. He's a MESS. Scales the door facings, jumps straight up in the air & flips for *no reason*. Never walks--he just tears through the house like a bat outta hell. He walks around with perpetual "puffy tail'' and that sideways stance. I admit I'll be glad when his "daddy" picks him up. But it's been fun and really made me aware how *different* their own little personalities are. Sherry --- Wondering if there's a kitty-version of ADHD? |

Actually, I was joking, about sending Vixen to Best Friends. She is a fantastic cat: highly intelligent (therefore easily bored and creative), confident (substitute aggressive), large (bully). I would love her as an only cat. But our household is not a good place for her to be. Right now, we are working on behavior modification. When she chases one of the fraidy cats, she has to go downstairs. When she tips over a water dish and rolls it around the room, she goes downstairs. (Usually, I put the water bowls in the bathtub.) I have learned not to pick her up and put her downstairs unless done very gently (she recently blackened an eye and pierced a vein in my wrist over a matter of four days). I am beginning to suspect she has had some physical abuse that sets her off easily. (Vixen is a former pet, not feral-born.) She is so intelligent that when she mishehaves all I have to do as a rule is open the basement door and point the way. What a character...!
