Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2005Today
Dear group I have read *all* your reponses to me, and I thank you all and wish I could reply to everyone. You are all just so kind sensitive folks. I wish I wasn't so tired but I guess it's par for the course. It takes me ages to do my chickens and geese in the morning as it hurts to walk, I can feed and water them but not clean them out, which now needs doing. I'm going to try and do some of them tomorrow. Kitty needs grooming too, although she is a short hair, she cannot now get out the underhair and what's more, she hates it to be done although feels better afterwards. Last time she slashed me to bits, so I'll have to find some help this time. This afternoon, I laid on the settee for a while, slightly on my side. Boyfriend came and laid on my ribcage, doing his best to be a nurse cat. He kept it up for about an hour. This is a very shy cat. He is darling, and more. He is truly special. Kitty doesn't want to know. She is all gimme gimme gimme and after her bad start I suppose I can't blame her Tweed . > This afternoon, I laid on the settee for a while, slightly on my side. > Boyfriend came and laid on my ribcage, doing his best to be a nurse cat.

Why is that then? I defy her to chicken-whisper my 12lb Speckled Sussex cock, Attila. He is pure evil. I am just beginning to recover from the shock of it all. It was all so totally unexpected. I've been busy trying to sort out the chickens and geese and share them between my friends while I am in hospital and recuperating. I got the last call that I needed tonight, from my friend, Stephen. It was Stephen that first gave me eggs to hatch around 1990 that started me on the rare breeds path. I happen to know that he has only a few chickens now, and has some spare pens and runs. He's a politician and is very busy right now as we have a general election here on 5th May. I told him what he needed to have for his share. All my Lakenfelders, three cocks with hens, all kept separately, and a spare Lakie cock and a spare Sicilian Buttercup cock. So he said fine, and after 5 May he'll have to make a couple of pens for the spare cockerels. My friend June is taking the geese and some of the Appenzellers and my Barnevelder bantams, which only leaves safe fox-proof houses that can be serviced once a day by my neighbour, Stan and he will feed the cats. I think I have got it all covered now for the moment for my hospital stay and recovery. I intend to come home after 8 weeks at my aunt's and resume their care. If I should die during my operation - I'm fairly sure I won't but I am covering all eventualities here - my friend June will sort out what is here poultry wise and Helen and Debbie will need to kick in swiftly for the two cats. However, I intend to beat this thing and live for a long time yet and torment you all on the group..you can't get rid of me that easily.

I defy her to chicken-whisper my 12lb Speckled > Sussex cock, Attila. He is pure evil. I am certain it wouldn't work with him. It results from a house-sit for some chicken-owning friends in Cornwall, when during the course of me tending to the chuckies' needs, they produced 3 eggs one morning, a daily quantity so far unheard of :-) They were already very tame, and probably would qualify for their chicken OAP, to be honest :-)) Bless them. One in particular would closely supervise my coop-cleaning efforts, looking first with one eye then the other, clucking and calling all the while, no doubt 'you've missed a bit!' > I'm fairly sure I won't but I am > covering all eventualities here - my friend June will sort out what is here > poultry wise and Helen and Debbie will need to kick in swiftly for the two > cats. > However, I intend to beat this thing and live for a long time yet and > torment you all on the group..you can't get rid of me that easily.

After reading the first post about your hspital stay I scrolled down and read all the updates. I'm glad that members of the group on your side of the pond can ease your mind that homes can be found for BF and KFC, and hope your homes can also be found for your birds. If you're like me that would be a MAJOR concern, and knowing that they'll be looked after should be a great comfort. Sending mega purrs your way that you'll wake from the surgery and be given GOOD news. Please keep us updated, and feel free to vent/rant.

Might I suggest that you arrange with some one to take care of the chickens. Maybe through your newsgroup over there. The chickens, though delicate in their own way, aren't as important as you are. Then you may want to see if your friend who was so good with KFC before is willing to either groom her or help you groom her. Next, love on Boyfriend. He knows something is wrong and he really loves you and wants to help you all he can. He's a special cat and wants to be your friend. Last but not least, KFC may seem indifferent, but have you ever thought about the fact that she's probably been hurt before you took her in and is afraid that if she lets you know that she loves you and cares that she might get hurt again. Sorta like a lot of people I know. KFC loves you very much, or she wouldn't have hung around the way she did. She's a sweetie hiding behind a GOW (Grumpy Old Woman) exterior. My Tanada is like that too. She's been clinging to me since we got in last night. Pam S. listening to all the purrs and healing thoughts winging your way least, KFC may seem indifferent, but have you ever thought > about the fact that she's probably been hurt before you took her in and > is afraid that if she lets you know that she loves you and cares that > she might get hurt again.

I find that if I explain things to my lot, thye do actually go "Oh, OK." and they go off and do their own thing and are OK. If I don't explain what is going on they get stressed and worry. HRFL Tiger is the worst for it. It will help them that you have explained that Stan will come in and feed them and look after them.

HRFL Tiger is the worst > for it. Ain't that the truth. Mine are able to handle a lot if they are told about it. I pet or brush their fur while telling them what is going on an they tend to understand and re-act accordingly.

Sometimes she even follows directions. MLB > Dear group > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > . Kitty's, like people, sometimes don't quite know how to show their feelings. KFC is old and independant, but there is no way she would be such a fixture in your home if she didn't care. BF is a truly special friend. You must know by now that these cats were sent to help you. Someone knew you needed an immediate family to love you in their strange and beautiful ways. I continue to pray for you. I do hope you can find someone to help you take care of your kitties, chicken and geese. Please take care of yourself, Christina, SignaturePolonca & Soncek > Dear group > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > . |
