Hi folks,

I haven't read or posted in this group for a very long time, although
I'm a member of catslaves :-). It's just overwhelming to see the
number of postings each day in this group. I will not be able to
follow all of them.

For those who don't know or remember me: I'm german, and a slave to
four masters: Artania and Apophis, MC siblings who turned 4 this year

Last year, I lost Micah, whom I adopted from the shelter as an old cat
in October 2002, and still miss him dearly. In December 2004, Maurice
got sick (renal failure), we had to put him to sleep on Jan. 2, 2005
:-( Since we always had four cats, in September 2004 we adopted Finlay
(born May, 2004). He was a barnyard cat and very sick. We pampered
him, and he's now a huge, healthy boy, who ignores me most of the time
cause he's Daddys boy g

After losing Maurice I couldn't cope with it, and on January 4th,
Eithne moved in, also adopted from a local shelter. She's now 10 month
old, the tiniest cat, I've ever had but doesn't fear a thing ;-)

Here you can see Finlay and Eithne:

All 4 of them are very social cats who love company. All of them are
indoor cats.

Well, that's all for now.

old one sigh. At the moment, DH and I are discussing to take another
cat in. She's 14 month old, and was injured. Someone cut her belly
when she was just a tiny cat :-(( She's in good care right now in a
foster home. They can't find her a forever home cause she doesn't want
to be touched, but she loves other cats and bond with them
immediately. But, as I said, DH and I are not sure. 5 cats are a lot
responsability. We had two good catsitters but they're not available
any longer. Once in a while, we'd like to go on a vacation. We're not
going until we find a new catsitter who doesn't cost a fortune.

Oh Petra that sounds like a great cat to take in. I also bet eventually
she
will want to be touched. Poor baby. Your cats would be good meowmies and
paws to her.

Yes, she's adorable. You can see her he

http://www.tierschutz-notfelle.de/36001.html (look for Minni).

And our cats would be great for her. We took to foster cats in, who's
master had to go to the hospital and didn't know where to put them.
Our cats didn't ever hiss at them, they were just being playful. But,
honestly, I fear the responsability. 5 cats are a lot to deal with.
And right now we have to wonderful couples, I wonder if a fifth one
who will be permanently with us wouldn't destroy the whole group. So
we have to decide very carefully.

Petra

SHe is such a little thing and very cute. Let us know what you decide!

It is great to see your name on the group again. And all four of your cats
are lovely. But then they know that and so do you.

I can imagine that they keep you busy. It takes courage to love an older
cat or a sick cat and to make it a home. But it can be so rewarding.

Thank you so much for your warm welcome. I can't believe, someone
still remembers me. I've never been a frequent poster to this group. I
really love older cats, especially when you look into their eyes. But
since the Coonies are only 4, and then Finlay, being very young,
desperately needed a home and nobody wanted him, the fourth cat also
had to be a younger one even though I would have preferred to get an
old one sigh. At the moment, DH and I are discussing to take another
cat in. She's 14 month old, and was injured. Someone cut her belly
when she was just a tiny cat :-(( She's in good care right now in a
foster home. They can't find her a forever home cause she doesn't want
to be touched, but she loves other cats and bond with them

Of course we remember you Petra... welcome back That poor little
kitty... I hope she can learn to trust people again. Scout absolutely
hates to be touched and we think it's because she was abused by
someone - she's scared witless of men, and not quite so scared of
women. And she decided that I am 'safe' so long as I don't try to pick
her up!

Welcome back, Petra. I think I remember you, even though my memory is
pretty bad these days.

Well, she's just not the "cuddly" type of cat. That's what people
prefer sigh. They don't have the patience to wait.

I'm sure with patience she'll be a real love magnet. My Snoopy was
scared of her own shadow when I first got her, she's very snuggly now.

I'm sure she will :-). I wouldn't mind if she's not climbing on my lap
right now. I can be very patient with animals. Years ago I took an
abused cat in, and it took a year before he trusted me enough to be in
the same room with me. I tell you, it's the most rewarding thing to
happen :-)
