An Update on Pirate :o)
For those of you who remember my cat sagas of the summer of 2003, I managed
to find a nice home for Pirate, a gorgeous silver longhaired kitty who strayed into my backyard. (This was at the same time period that I'd committed to taking in wild Tucker (after he'd bit me) and shy Robin, also strays.) I eventually took Pirate in to my vet because he got beat up in a cat fight and tests turned up he was FIV+. I made up flyers about Pirate and took them to the local vets' offices and also to local cat rescue groups in hopes of finding someone who could help this shy special needs boycat. I was extremely lucky in finding a wonderful couple (via the rescue group, PACA, )who already had 2 FIV+ cats (Frodo and Frieda) and were looking for a third! In November 2003, Pirate went to his new home and in January I went to visit and took pictures. I've since been in touch with the family and check up on how Pirate's doing from time to time. Here's the latest info from his meowmie, Diane: "Pirate, Frodo, and Frieda are all doing fine. Pirate has come a long way from his first days here when he hid behind furniture to avoid being seen. He now struts around like he owns the place. In fact, he somehow got the idea that he should be the top cat in town. He fluffs himself up, gets a "danger" look in his eyes, and intimidates the heck out of Frodo. Now Frodo hides when Pirate enters the room. When Frodo takes off running, Pirate chases him, but other than making a lot of noise, I don't think they actually fight. (I never see a scratch on either of them.) Frieda, on the other hand, pretty much ignores both the males. Their little daily dramas make us laugh. Pirate still likes to sit next to me on the sofa in the evenings. I scratch him behind the ears and he leans against me and chirps. He never seemed to understand the concept of sitting in someone's lap. However, he is getting a little more tolerant when I try to brush him. He will let me get in several light brushes before he gets annoyed. Pirate also likes to visit with my husband, George, when he is sitting on the sofa, because George feeds him little gourmet kitty treats. " Thought ya'll would like to hear this, too!

forever homes. Jazz & his mama -- Irulan from the stars we came, to the stars we return from now until the end of time "Christine Burel" wrote in message ...
