Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2004Announcing . . .
A new addition to my feline family! Apparently he was in a household with several cats, and then the people moved away and abandoned all the cats. Somebody trapped them, but he had been on his own for quite a while, and is rather thin. As I was driving home, I tried to think of a name for him. He was being very vocal, and I thought about him wandering around on his own. The song, "A Wandering Minstrel, I" popped into my head. So his name is Nanki-Poo. Lindy was not very welcoming, so he hid under my bed for a while. He's out, exploring now. He was very affectionate at the shelter, so I'm hoping they'll both come around pretty soon. -- Joy Things turn out best for the people who make the best out of the way things turn out. -- John Wooden > A new addition to my feline family! > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > out, exploring now.

I'm sure the other Nanki's slave will pipe up about it sometime soon. I don't know the connection between his name and the Wandering Minstrel song, though.

There is currently a space on one shelf of my large bookcase - or rather there was a space. It's now occupied by a very smug-looking furboy. -- Joy Owned and operated by Lindy and Nanki-Poo > Congratulations!

Lindy can use all the purrs she can get. She is definitely *not* happy! She told him in no uncertain terms that he is not allowed in the bedroom, much less on the bed, when I am in bed. And she kept telling him, off and on, until about 2:30. She kept doing the "intruder yowl", interspersed with hisses. I didn't want to kick her off the bed or force him up there when she was acting like that, so I left Nanki-Poo to his own devices, and used a squirt bottle to temporarily quiet Lindy down.

We have the purrs to send, so are sending more for Lindy to at least tolerate Nanki-Poo. After Rocky decided to join us indoors LB let him know in no uncertain terms that he was NOT welcome on the bed or the recliner when she was there. Happily, she stopped hissing pretty quickly, and eventually decided it was okay.

She told him in no uncertain terms that he is [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Steve Touchstone, > faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky (RB) That's encouraging! I think there's progress here. This evening I was watching TV (Survivor is on while I'm at Toastmasters, so I tape it and watch it when I get home) and Nanki-Poo was in the hall. Lindy was in the dining room or entry hall. They could see each other, but I could only see Nanki. Lindy said some very unkind things to Nanki, but it wasn't the "intruder yowl" - just trash talk. Nanki didn't talk back to her, but he didn't run away either. He just laid down in the hallway where he was. I could be wrong, but I think that means she doesn't particularly like it, but she realizes he's going to stick around, and he was admitting she was superior while saying he isn't afraid of her. I'll probably find out more when I go to bed tonight. .jpgs!!!! helen s --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam-- to get correct one remove fame & fortune h*$el*$$e*nd**$o$ts**i*$*$m*m$o*n*s@$*a$o*l.c**$om$ --Due to financial crisis the light at the end of the tunnel is switched off-- When I have a few photos, I'll post them to my online album.
