Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2008Hunter's Purr
Turn your computer speakers up a bit and you can hear his rumbling purr. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcLuIGwX0zg  SignatureHugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ He has a loud purr. While I was there I had to look at the boys again.

He sounds like a Harley Davidson idling! ;> > While I was there I had to look at the boys again. Except for the jowly face (from having had his testes longer) he could be Ozzy twin. The doctor said he was about 1 year old - about the same age as Da Boyz. He's 10 pounds 11 ounces - the exact same weight as Ozzy (though I think he'll end up being bigger since he still has some filling out to do - he's already a far cry from the skin and bones he was a couple of weeks ago). The way he's sucking down food, he'll be up to his desired weight in no time at all. We gave him a good brushing and his coat is looking a lot better now. It feels like he has a couple of ticks around his neck and possibly ear mites, but the Revolution we applied 2 days ago should take care of that if that's what they are. The doctor gave him Dronton for tape worms and said the Revolution should take care of everything else. Right now he's sucking up the pettin's with a spoon! He's looks like he thinks he's died and gone to kitty heaven. He's rubbing his scent on every surface in that room making sure he claims it all for himself before anybody comes to take it away from him. I've never in my life seen a cat look so grateful for the simple necessities of life - they normally look like the most extreme pampering is only what they deserve, but he is doing everything in his power to show us how much he likes it here. One thing that's odd, and a bit sad, is that he doesn't know how to play. I bought him a feather stick, but he just looks at it and then looks at me as if to say, "Why are you shaking that thing at me." I guess a hard life, living on nothing but the occasional lizard for food, doesn't leave much time for playing - we'll have to show him all that he's missed.

We've been through this with Miss Calico Girl and Merlin. Life was too serious for Miss Calico Girl and it is only recently (in the past two months) that she discovered play. She still won't play with the other cats, but she will play with various toys now, mostly mousies ana feather ona stick. But she doesn't do nip and I don't know if it is because she is one of those few cats who won't respond to nip or if she thinks nip is too frivolous for her. Merlin had never had toys before he came to our house and couldn't believe that our cats could play with toys and not get into trouble. After he learned that toys were fun, he decided that he who plays with the most toys wins. Purrs for Hunter (I rather liked Garvin for a name, though) to adjust and become a valued member of your clowder in record time.

He sounds like the Smokey of your household (ie, Enfilade's Smokey). What a sweet kitty - I think you picked a winner. That is, you *were picked by* a winner. :) > One thing that's odd, and a bit sad, is that he doesn't know how to play. > I bought him a feather stick, but he just looks at it and then looks at me > as if to say, "Why are you shaking that thing at me."

He might not quite have enough sense of security among your other cats to relax into play. Smudge no longer plays in the house because she's intimidated by Licky. When I'm outside with her, she's more likely to get playful if I move a stick along the ground. Although even with that, she's a lot less playful than when she was mostly indoors. I figure that because she gets to go out and hunt, she doesn't need play. Cat play is all about hunting after all! Maybe that's part of why Hunter doesn't play? LOL, maybe you should call him Player.

As soon as you walk up to him he falls over on his side and start purring, waiting to be petted (unless, of course, you have a food bowl in your hand in which case he'll start purring *and* mrrrrping while walking around your legs with is tail in the air. > > One thing that's odd, and a bit sad, is that he doesn't know how to > > play. [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > all about hunting after all! Maybe that's part of why Hunter doesn't > play? LOL, maybe you should call him Player. (Just kidding.) I finally got him to react to the feather toy (by aggravating him with it enough, I guess) and he grabbed it will all his claws, bit down on it like he was breaking its neck, and started to strip the feathers off in preparation of eating the bird - startled me, disappointed him when he found no bird to eat under the feathers. So, I think you're right about him not playing since he has a steady source of food now.

SO happy to have his own family! Yeah, it's sad how grateful he is for just the necessities of life. But he has no idea how lucky he was to have found us - he'll be loved and pampered for the rest of his life.

Did I miss something?? I decided I didn't like the name "Garvin" - too undignified, so when we knew for sure he was going to be one of our clowder we changed his name to "Hunter" (I think it goes better with his bro-fur's name, "Archer").
