A friend of mine from university, Eeva, moved to Toronto last year with
her DH's job. Here in Finland, her 19-yo cat had recently been put to
sleep for various medical reasons. Eeva waited until they had found a
house, settled in, and spent this summer here in Finland, and last week
she went to the Humane Society in Toronto, where she met Salli (full
name Salli Jokunen, the Finnish name for Sally Brown, Charlie Brown's
sister).

Salli is a tortie who the HS people claimed has aggression problems, and
she has bitten both Eeva and her DH once, but Eeva is determined to work
with her. It's not like Salli is going about biting everyone in sight,
she just got a bit upset when Eeva was stroking her. They are first
going to rule out any physical problem, like maybe the site where she
was micro-chipped may be sore.

Otherwise Salli can't seem to believe her luck, with a four-floor house
to rule after sitting in a small cage ever since February. She is about
5 years old. I've already told Eeva how I trained Caliban not to scratch
or bite. Who knows, maybe she was just aggressive because she was
sitting in a small cage and then confused over the huge life change.
We'll see how it all progresses.
