Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2006Jet farewell
Tomorrow Jet and I are off to my father's house - a train ride, a plane ride and a car ride away. Please wish us luck and wish Jet a comfortable and no-too-anxious journey. He went to the groomers today and came home smelling of *talcum powder* - not very masculine for our little bully-boycat! He and the resident felines are all disgusted! He also has had his belly shaved, so will hopefully be more comfortable now. It's been getting up to 40C here recently, so anything that helps keep his fluffy butt cool is a Good Thing. Dad is very excited and I'm both excited and sad. As mentioned before, we're all going to miss him terribly. After dropping Jet at his new forever home and staying a couple of days to settle him in, I have to go off for a week of fieldwork, so won't be anywhere near a computer. I'll point Dad in the direction of RPCA and ask him to report in, or if he's not comfortable with that I'll point him in the direction of Yowie's email address. Have a good week, everyone. Tish Purrs for a safe, comfortable, pleasant trip and a happy homecoming for Jet. I'm sure you said where your father lives, but I forgot.

SignatureSam, closely supervised by Mistletoe Hi All, Just a quick note to let you know that Jet / Potjie has arrived safely at his new foreverhome and is settling in very well. I felt very bad subjecting him to the fright and stress of public transport, but he has bounced back very quickly and is setting about dominating both my father and his Akita d*g. The Akita, Shima, was previously "housebroken" by Dad's old cat, Clawed DePussy, so it wasn't too hard for Potjie to step into the harness. No-one should be too surprised to hear that it was mutual love-at-first sight between Potjie and my father. They'll be *just fine* together! And it even looks as though the d*g will make pals. I've pointed Dad in this direction of this group and he has promised periodic updates, as well as a full accounting of how he came to acquire a cheetah as a pet and his experiences of it. I now return you to your regular scheduling. Tish > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Tish oh, that's great Tish!!!

Sorry to hear you might not get to keep ole' Jet, but great that you Dad and the d*g seem to accept him with no reservations. Let Potjie rule the world!

Please tell him that for 11 years (my Akita's lifetime) he was the slave of the only one of our several cats that he actually loved: Oliver, Oriental Shorthair (highstrung & jumpy pedigreed - he was given to me by people who had declawed him; their Tonkinese bullied him 24/7); Oliver would sleep between my Akita's front paws from the time the Akita came to live with us at 3 months old. Our other cats simply avoided the dog when possible and, just as our family vet had said, "he will never harm one hair on any of your cats *since as a puppy, he's growing up with them as companions*". 11 was fairly old for an Akita, we were told; Oliver grieved his loss till he went to the RB himself six months later at the age of 13. Their earthly remains sleep side-by-side in my backyard in FL, forever; their loving spirits frolic in their everlasting youth just this side of the RB. > I've pointed Dad in this direction of this group and he has promised > periodic updates, as well as a full accounting of how he came to > acquire a cheetah as a pet and his experiences of it. Ooo, I want to hear *that* story! I was charmed to death by the movie "Duma", a story about a South African boy and his family's pet cheetah (also a true story, though the movie took a lot of liberties with the facts). And I'd love to hear how Potjie is getting along in his new digs. Joyce |
