Oh, she's PRETTY! What a great face!

Aww, thanks Laura. The long hair is kind of deceiving...she is really
dreadfully bony and pretty ugly with her sides shaved. I just love her though.
I'm going to keep her. We only have 3 cats, one more won't make much
difference. DH keeps asking when I'm taking her to the shelter, and I just go
"Oh, let's wait till her coat grows back out, nobody would pick her looking
like that." I figure that story ought to be good for at least a month, then
he'll be attached to her by then.
I feel kinda bad about being so conniving, wait, no I guess I don't. Am I
bad?.


Sherry


LOL! No you are NOT bad. I'm quite sure he already knows you are keeping her
anyway.

Thanks, Phil, Laura, Lyn. I never thought about dehydration. We spotted her on
the windowsill looking in two weeks ago in the middle of a freezing rain...she
was just starved, and matted so bad they had to shave her sides. After 2 weeks,
she is already less bony and her coat looks better. Here's a pic of her right
when we brought her in, and one a couple days later after she got shaved and
cleaned up some. She's really got an unusual coat pattern. She's a real lap cat
too.

Best of luck to you and your new one, Sherry!

I also have a stray right now with third eyelids showing. He has been
here about a week and a half, and was severely dehydrated and starved
when I brought him in. He no longer appears to be dehydrated, and
seems to be settled down to eating a regular amount, but the third
eyelids are still showing. :-( A friend sent me some Advantage, so I
was able to de-flea him, but I can't afford a vet visit to get the
little guy tested or a Droncit for the worms I'm also certain he has.
He has a date to go into the shelter in two weeks. I'm going to see
if I can talk my vet out of a Droncit and see if that clears up the
third eyelid thing, since I've read that is another thing that can
cause it. Crossing my fingers!

She is neat looking! But what are those little bumps on her back leg?
Hopefully just matted fur?
