Can I Handle A Third Cat - More on Puff
I went to visit Puff yesterday outside the house where he was living.
He came right up to me to be petted. The lady next door has been feeding Puff and told me that she took him in to her vestibule that morning (no further because he likely has fleas) to clean up some knots. Her cat Pewter is Puff's mom (and is now fixed) and is pretty feral. Puff now has a flea collar (not Hartz) which isn't as good as Frontline or Advantage but is better than nothing. I will bring some of that over so she can apply it to Puff. She said that one of the guys in the next house (Puff's home) might be moving out and taking Puff with him and even if not that they would probably take him back in during the winter. Apparently as soon as Puff is taken back in the first thing he does is pee. They told her that Puff was checked and does not have a UTI. Puff is fixed. She said that she would probably take him in for the winter once it's too cold for fleas. She was sort of surprised that I was thinking of adopting him since, at least in theory, the neighbors still consider him their cat. So I spoke to my friend who wanted me to adopt him in the first place and am trying to get to a bottom line here. I think Puff is really adorable (he rolled over so I could pet rub his belly) but there are many cats that are in worse shape. Their are several at my local pet store waiting for adoption that have had owners who died and I consider their plight somewhat worse than Puff's. Well, let's see what the future brings. |

I would make sure she removes the flea collar before applying anything else. Flea collars can be pretty toxic. ________ See my cats: http://community.webshots.com/album/56955940rWhxAe Raw Diet Info: http://www.holisticat.com/drjletter.html http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html Declawing Info: http://www.wholecat.com/articles/claws.htm |
