Our neighbour tried to give me a cat!
The lady who lives in the house on the corner has three young(ish)
cats who spend most of their lives outside... they're pretty self-sufficient critters, but one of them is quite friendly and comes over to say hi to me when I walk past. Anway, apparantly they've seen me with her, and the other day she came out and asked if I wanted to take the cat! She said the cat doesn't get on with its sister and they raise havok if they're inside at the same time... personally it sounds like they're just playing normal catly games to me! I feel very sorry for the poor kitty and I wish I could take her... but I had to say no. They're beautiful little flame-point siameses, but the cat she offered me has very thin fur in patches and a rather angry looking red rash underneath. The lady said it's always been like that, since she was a kitten. She's obviously got allergies of some kind... and today she's obviously been in a fight with someone and she's got a nasty bite on her shoulder, which she told me all about when I went to pet her. I wish I could take her... but we just don't have the room or the money and we couldn't afford vet bills and special food to try and fix her skin problem, and it would be a nightmare trying to keep her food seperate from the other three cats in this little apartment. Not to mention that I don't think it would be fair to take a mostly outdoor cat and tell it that it's never allowed to set paw outside again... it's used to having its freedom. Please say a purrayer for this poor little meezer... |

If so, it is very contagious, both to hoomins and cats, so take great caution. MaryL |

The fur isn't falling out - the skin just shows through because it's angry red in the irritated areas. |
