Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2004Beautiful doll baby for adoption
I went to get catfood at the vets today and what should be there, only a week after Nermal's passing, but a dainty little silver tipped persian for adoption. Tiny. Tiny, tiny. Like a half grown kitten and HUGE green eyes. But she is 4 years old. Her owners did not want to deal with her tail sucking. The vet put her on some anti depressants and the tail sucking stopped, so, they are looking for a home for her. Nina. I tell you if I did not have three cats already I would have packed her up on the spot. What's a littel pilling?? She was sweet and let me pet her. Then when one of the vets came out, she jumped down and sauntered off, streeeetching out each little delicate back leg. I'm sure she will get adopted shortly. She is the cutest damn thing I ever saw. She will HAVE to be an indoor cat because she would get snatched for sure if she were outside. So if anyone in the vicinity of Eastern Nebraska would like a doll baby of a kitty, I will gladly give you directions. I figure the tail sucking probably came from a strained environment. Anyone willing to give up over such a MINOR problem was probably totally anal and did not give her enough attention anyway.

Ugh! The reasons people will come up with!! Purrs that she has a new home soon.  SignatureCheryl > But she is 4 years old. Her owners did not want to deal with her tail sucking.

What a rotten thing to do -- to give up a cat for something as minor as "tail sucking!" Fortunately, this cat sounds so pretty (and so unusual) that I am sure she will be adopted...and it sounds like she will be much better off to be out of that environment.

She sounds adorable, but I'm about 900 miles away and must pay extra rent per pet. Tail sucking even sounds kinda cute.

I thought I read that they gave her up because of "tail sucking." TAIL SUCKING?!!! <sigh> If she was with someone who understood her a little better, maybe she will stop the tail sucking. Purrs for her to find a real home.

Well, yeah, but on the other hand, it's her tail, you know? If she was sucking the owner's tail (if he/she had one, that is) I could see the objection.

Purrs for her to find a real home. That was my thought. Kreisleriana <kreisleriana2@yahoo.com> had some very interesting things to say about Re: Beautiful doll baby for adoption: >>I went to get catfood at the vets today and what should be there, only a >>week after Nermal's passing, but a dainty little silver tipped persian for [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >If she was with someone who understood her a little better, maybe she >will stop the tail sucking. Purrs for her to find a real home. Sheesh, some of the cats I've had, I'd have been relieved if the weirdest thing they did was tail sucking. :-) Signature"Don't mess with major appliances unless you know what you are doing (or unless your life insurance policy is up-to-date)." - John, RCFL She was probably a 'trophy pet' - they wanted her for her looks, but didn't really want an actual pet that you have to interact with, and I sure hope they went to Toys 'R' Us & bought a stuffed toy Persian for display, instead of seeking out a 'suitable' replacement for this precious kitty. The tail sucking issue will probably go away when she finds a good home, where she will have lots of people, toys and/or other kitties to play with.

That's how I got my dear little Roxy, a Persian with championship bloodlines. They ended up keeping the poor little thing in the garage so she wouldn't mess up their "too too perfect" home. When we first got her, she was the "Kitty who didn't know how to play." Now I can expect little kitty pats several times a day demanding I break out the peacock feather or the kitty string for her to play with. I hope the same thing happens for this little one. Regards and Purrs, O J <snip> > But she is 4 years old. Her owners did not want to deal with her tail > sucking. Sammy sucks her tail, her paws, Bandit's tail, my neck, whatever is in reach when she feels the need for comfort (I can always tell when she is going to start sucking, she snuggles up to me and starts purring REALLY loudly, the little tongue comes out in the "down" position, and she starts smacking away). I can't imagine wanting to "get rid" of her because of this, and I wouldn't even consider putting her on medication to stop this (would you "get rid" of, or dope up a child for sucking his thumb??!!?). Of course, my husband claims we always end up with "defective" cats - he is just kidding - Bandit is psycho kitty from hell, Demi is the original scaredy cat, Jessie is hyperactive, and Sammy sucks! But I feel about cats the same way I feel about kids, once they're there, they're there for life, faults and all. Hugs, CatNipped CatMom to: Bandit, (a.k.a.

I'm sure she can be weaned off it eventually. I think I may have found a VERY good adopter for her.

If she's hurting herself then it's definitely destructive behavior that needs to be handled by whatever (humane) means available. Good on your for helping this baby find a new home!

I still don't understand why they felt the need to give her away, though! Joyce >I still don't understand why they felt the need to give her away, >though! > >Joyce I imagine it's one of those stories where we'll never know the whole story. IIRC, the cat was 4 years old, but I don't remember any mention how long the he/she had been in the home. I agree with you, though, if the cat was a beloved member of this family she's still be here. All in all though. it really sounds like she's better off in a new home where she'll be loved even if it ends up that she has to be medicated. Wouldn't surprise me a bit to learn that medication isn't need once she's settled in her new home, though.
