Hello all. My name is Shannon. About a week or so ago my husband and I
were dropping a stray dog of at the humane society...and a lady came in
with a cat...she told the worker she could no longer keep the cat and
wanted to surrendor the cat...the worker told her he would be put down
because they had no room. Me...being the sucker :) that I am asked about
the cat....I saw that he was orange through the carrier and I have
always wanted a big male orange cat. Well wasnt I in luck? Here was the
biggest orange male Maine Coon cat I have ever seen....so I asked my
husband and now I have a new cat...mind you I am NOT a cat person...I am
a total dog person. But I am an animal lover and couldnt bear to think
this cat would be put down...so now Thomas formerly know as Tiger Lee is
here. What I need to know is this..when will he ever be part of the
family? My other 2 cats roam the house and lay around on the couches and
windowsills...not Thomas...at first he lived on top of my husbands
dresser...then he moved to the basement and he stays either on top if
the laundry folding table or a ledge by the stairs...The dogs are cool
with him and he has laid with my dogs a few times on my bed...I do have
one dog who loves him a bit to much and Thomas hates it. I feel so sorry
for him being cooped in the basement all the time. I leave the door open
so he can wander when ever he wants...he just never does. He is very
affectionate when I come to visit with him he nibbles me and purrs and
rolls on him back for belly rubs but he wont come upstairs...I am kinda
feeling like this isnt the life he deserves.
Thank You all for reading this.
