Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2008Garvin Part Deux
OK, after I got all the info on costs I called 5 different credit cards and found one with an available balance (not much, but enough to cover the initial vetting - gawd know how we'll pay the extra balance, but we can worry about that later). DH went from, 'we're not putting out any money on another cat' to 'we couldn't afford the food' to 'would you want to keep him inside' to 'how are you going to get him inside' to 'what if he goes nuts being locked in the house' to 'he looks really attached to his balls' to 'you can take him in by yourself, I don't need to be there.' My answers were, 'but he's so sweet he even trusts you to pick him up' to 'we could find a cheaper food with the same ingredients, it doesn't have to be Fancy Feast' to 'well yes I do, he'd be safer inside' to 'we'll lock the other cats in a room and lure him in with canned food - you know he'll do anything for that' to 'if worse comes to worst we can put him back in the back yard and at least he'll have been vetted and neutered so he'd be better off than he is now' to 'you're anthropomorphizing' to 'OK, I guess I could handle doing this on my own.' So, for the moment at least, we have a qualified "go". Oh, and I did get a video of his little pussy-footing that someone remarked on when seeing his pictures: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4cMU_pcNDc  SignatureHugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ > OK, after I got all the info on costs I called 5 different credit cards and > found one with an available balance (not much, but enough to cover the [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > Oh, and I did get a video of his little pussy-footing that someone remarked > on when seeing his pictures: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4cMU_pcNDc LOL! We call this "happy feet", as our guys do it when they are extremely happy. He looks like a beautiful boy, and I would LOVE another red tabby, but probably won't be able to have one for a few more years. :( Right now, my entertainment is a little boy cat named Wu. He is 8 weeks old, and right now is beating on a piece of fake fur we got for him to cuddle with in his crate. He is a bit odd colored - he was pure black when he was tiny, but in the last 2 weeks or so his body fur has lightened to a smoky gray, and he has black points - feet, tail and black mask. Sort of a reverse siamese. He has lots of personality! >> OK, after I got all the info on costs I called 5 different credit cards >> and found one with an available balance (not much, but enough to cover [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > smoky gray, and he has black points - feet, tail and black mask.

Sort of a reverse siamese. He has lots of personality! You've got another one! I don't think we've heard from you for a while, congratulations! Did you get to the bottom of the illness that took your other cats? BTW, my Mingus went through the same sort of colour change as Wu (his body went from black to coffee brown, leaving black points). But he wasn't ever a healthy cat, and I figured the loss of pigment on his body was a nutritional deficiency. Getting him to eat a wider range of foods and a few nutritional supplements brought him back to being a normal black-and-white tuxedo cat again. ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === <http://www.campin.me.uk> ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts > OK, after I got all the info on costs I called 5 different credit cards > and found one with an available balance (not much, but enough to cover the [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > remarked on when seeing his pictures: > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4cMU_pcNDc Are those poly-paws?

I would be putty in those paws. ;) No, he's not polydactyl - but because he was literally skin and bones when he got here, parts of his body (like his paws) look big on him. When he first came you could see the outline of almost every single bone in his poor little body. I think after more than just a week of beefing him up he my turn out to be a really big boy. We're figuring he was dropped off as a 2 - 3 month old and barely managed to survive to his current age (he looks 5 - 6 months old to us).

Yep, I did the math for him and it made him blanch even more! Hugs, CatNipped Smokey still thinks he can, erm, "fill all the ladies full of kittens." He doesn't believe he was neutered. He spent the night at the vets, had a really long nap, ate the vet's food (yes, he was scarfing right after waking up!) and came home. It was a sleepover. Nothing more. --Fil > >>> And my, what big, um, ornaments he has, there. :) > > >> Yep, and it's those ornaments that we want to divest him of!

That would certainly give my girls something to think about. Da Boyz were neutered at 10 weeks by the rescue so they have no idea they're missing anything!

Not like Charlie to pay all that much attention. He knows the tri-color is usually a girl rule, but other than that, most cats don't advertise all that much. But tonight when I got home and got a glimpse of flame leaving, I'd say he needs major surgery. ASAP. He has to have a home somewhere. Doesn't look like he's ever missed a meal.

Ben just > blanches when it's mentioned. ;> When I raised the issue of neutering Speedy Joe, Dave crossed his legs and said "No-one is doing that to me so no-one is doing it to my cat" I just pointed out if that was the case then he could cleam unneutered tom cat pee up because I wasn't Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |
