Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2005EGADS!!! Another Cat!!!
We have been seeing a long-haired tortoise shell cruising through the yard on a couple of occasions. She came up to me today when I sat outside with food for her - she was more interested in *me* than the food. I brought her inside (eep - I have PO'd the residents) she is in the bathroom (she doesn't like that) right now with food & water, and she is *front declawed*. I'm taking her to the shelter to have her scanned for a chip, search the lost posters & database, and if nothing, will have her entered into the found database. *sigh* I think I need to start my *own* animal shelter.... :(  SignatureHelp the animals of Monroe County http://www.justgiving.com/pfp/nalee1964 The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!

Find that sign on your house that says "all strays welcome"! Back during the great depression (I have no idea what was great about it) I was told my Scottish grandmother had some sort of mark on her house. It indicated she would feed the hobos (it was a railroad/steel mill town up in Ohio) if the knocked at her kitchen door. No one could ever find the mark, but they knew it was there. My other grandmother, who lived right next door, would chase them off with a shotgun. There was no such mark. I wonder if cats aren't running around marking houses? Hope you find this kitty's owner.

She came up to me today when I sat [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > Jill Definately, our house is *marked*. Just got back from the shelter - no torties reported lost (except for a poly, which she's not), no microchip either. Am currently making up fliers to post around, and DH & I will go around the neighborhood this evening. We've seen her in the yard before - yesterday she let me skritch her ears, but Max (the D-thing) was being walked in the yard by DH & that made her very skittish. Fortunately, when I was holding her, she let me turn her over, and her nipples look as though she's never nursed a bitty (I double checked, since we don't close our garage door all the way, I didn't want any baby-bitties to be abandoned out there), so she may already be spayed (pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease).. Here's a link to her "found" page at MCHA (it went up fast, too - withing 20 minutes of me submitting the request) http://www.monroehumane.org/lostfound/story.php?ID=190 She is currently hiding behind the shower stall in the bathroom. Porr thing is scared to death. And DH just called, he is stopping by the grocery on the way home, and did I need/want anything? I said no - shoulda asked for tuna or a couple cans of el-cheapo food just to get her to eat (we have tons of dry, expensive SD for the indoor, el-cheapo for the outdoor). > Here's a link to her "found" page at MCHA (it went up fast, too - withing 20 > minutes of me submitting the request) > http://www.monroehumane.org/lostfound/story.php?ID=190 She's absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!!! >>> We have been seeing a long-haired tortoise shell cruising through >>> the yard on a couple of occasions.

She's too pretty and tame to be anything but a lost girl. Still, I thought that about Persia, too, and no one ever claimed her. Good luck!

Oh, I'm sure she'll be spayed. If she's declawed, she'll also be spayed.

She came up to me today when I sat outside with > food for her - she was more interested in *me* than the food. "My people suck so I fired them. Now I live with you. You may feed me now." *** Seriously, I hope that if she has a good family, that they find her. And if not then may she get the best possible care, whether that be from you or from a home you find for her. --Fil We will be giving her a bath (eep) sometime soon, putting frontline on her and then she has an appt with the vet on Tuesday late afternoon to get tested for "the nasties" and a general checkup, plus shots (Just In Case). Also to have her ears checked - they seem to be dirty. Could be mites, or could be that she just can't clean them very well, what with being declawed. I'm not going to bitch about her being declawed, unless I find out that she was intentionally let outside or dumped (there is that possibility), or left behind when someone moved :(. The first 3 cats DH & I got we had declawed (Smokey, Tennessee & Ivy (RB)), front only. Then we learned what it really is, and all the others are *NOT*. In fact, I now regret having those 3 declawed. Our vet does not declaw - Lynn (the receptionist/vet tech) joked with me that when people call to ask, she wants to tell them that "no, we do not declaw, but we do re-upholster furniture in a shop out back". :D Anyway - about what may become Cat #9: DH started calling her Priscilla (Queen of the Bathroom), I have been calling her Priss, Prissy or Miss Priss. She loves being petted & loved on, but not picked up & held. If you pick her up an put her on your lap and just skritch her without holding her, she's fine. It's the holding. This morning, DH siad he went in there to pay some attention to her, as well as feed her, Smokey ran in there (the bathroom *used* to be Smokey's room), sniffed noses with her, then ignored her and started eating her food! Ping stuck his head in the door today too, but I didn't let him in all the way. I've seen Mimi, Moe & Ernie laying on the floor outside the door, wondering who has confiscated the bathroom & it's litterbox - they may have even been playing 'footsie' under the door with her (that door has a big gap under it, just over an inch). Speaking of litterboxes, when I scooped yesterday, she hadn't peed yet, but she did leave about a foot-long #2 in there, unburied and smelly. I did run an ad in the local paper (DH grumped about the cost of the ad, the cost of the fliers I printed, the cost of her vet appt, the cost of gas used driving around posting the fliers... he was a grump this morning) and also posted 'classifieds' on petfinder.com, lostpaws.com, and tabbytracker.com When we returned home this morning, there was a message on the machine from an elderly woman who saw the ad in the paper,she was missing a 17-year old tortie. I called her and asked her a few questions, her's is ashort-haired & fully clawed. DH wanted to offer her Prissy. I gave him a weird look and said we should wait & see what happens, but we are saving her message/phone # for later. > We have been seeing a long-haired tortoise shell cruising through the > yard on a couple of occasions.
