Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / April 2005God is an Iron!
I post a lot on rpca and talk all the time about how big Sammy is (almost 15 pounds and big enough to stand on the floor and put her front paws on my kitchen counter). People there have asked that I take pictures of all of mine together so they can get a comparison of Sammy with the others (Bandit 9.5 pounds, Demi 6.5 pounds, and Jessie 4.5 pounds). That's hard to do since they don't usually hang together when they're not running around the house playing - they each have their own territory staked out in a *very* large, 5-bedroom house. Well, tonight they were all in my bedroom, so I grabbed my camera. I've also talked about how I feed every cat for miles around outside (I'm a *really* soft touch ;>), including ferals, strays, and the neighbors cats who like the premium food I put out better than the generic grocery brands they get at home. I'm not going to say a word (but some of you be warned I *DID* put commentary on *MY* web site). The first few and last few pictures speak for themselves despite the captions. http://www.possibleplaces.com/CatNipped/Four_Sisters/ -- Hugs, CatNipped http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ > I post a lot on rpca and talk all the time about how big Sammy is (almost 15 > pounds and big enough to stand on the floor and put her front paws on my [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > http://www.possibleplaces.com/CatNipped/Four_Sisters/ Aw, I felt like opening the door for "Socks"... Why haven't they had her spayed, do you know? Just laziness, ignorance, what? Hey, Demi wasn't under the bed! - I noticed she was close to it, but still... ;-) And Jessie is so cute!

It really breaks my heart because she's such a little love but - always begging for petting and scritches (and it's a pain because I'll give in but then I have to wash my hands with disinfectant soap for 3 minutes before I can touch my babies). Yep, Demi is OK as long as nobody be me and DH are around. But nobody else can ever see her! ;> Jessie's our little clown cat. She's 5 years old but plays as hard as Sammy does at 1.

That was Demelza (13), too - who just happens to also be a calico!, for the longest time. Was never still enough long enough to even consider being a lap cat till she was around 5. She finally slowed down to a normal speed several years ago.

I don't know about your state, but in mine if a cat comes on my property with no tag or microchip she's mine -- legally. And if you provide veterinary care, that would make your case airtight. I'd make a quick call to your lawyer or local precinct just to play it safe - although it wouldn't matter to me what they said. Years ago I would feel 'guilty' about doing something like that - felt bad for the owner because I know how I'd feel if one of my cats disappeared - but this isn't about the owners - its about the welfare of the cat and the feline species as whole. If you need encouragement - you'll probably be saving her life -- and preventing the death of the kittens she would have had --- and preventing the death of the kittens her kittens would have had -- and the kittens of her kittens' kittens. If you need more, I'll give you plenty of encouragement! ;-) I'm sure she hasn't had her innoculations yet > either.

No problem! The vet will check her out and test her when you bring her in to be neutered. Since she's an adult - and your other cats are healthy. She probably doesn't need vax - other than rabies if its a state law. But I would hold off the vax for a few weeks to a month after she's neutered. > Yep, Demi is OK as long as nobody be me and DH are around.

Socks doesn't look very happy :( Sometimes people make me sad. But your cats are outstanding :) I can't believe you got some pics of Demi! > I post a lot on rpca and talk all the time about how big Sammy is (almost 15 > pounds and big enough to stand on the floor and put her front paws on my [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > -- My goodness your cats are beautiful. Jessie could make me write bad checks! :) I feel for that poor little socks. Poor girl, she is headed for a short and brutish life (apologies to the stiff Thomas Hobbes!) due to her stupid owner. > > I post a lot on rpca and talk all the time about how big Sammy is (almost > 15 [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > (apologies to the stiff Thomas Hobbes!) due to her > stupid owner. It really, really breaks my heart. She's *ALWAYS* at our doors looking in with yearning. She even ran in my front door one day when I was going to get the mail. I'd let her in if I weren't afraid of what diseases she might bring in with her. I see in the other thread there are some that sound quite desperate to get me reeled back in - I'm on the floor rolling over the latest "attacks" is there a word that means lamer than "lame"! All I have to say is go look at this page and "a picture is worth a thousand words"!

They're trolling you--just trying to get a reaction. It's nearly as good as getting killfiled as a sign that you got to someone with a superior argument. :) > All I have to say is go look at this page and "a picture is worth a thousand > words"!

If they aren't going to be responsible about their queen, somebody has to. -L. Excellent! I love it! If I were in a better financial position I would do exactly the same thing; glad to 'meet' someone whose heart is truly in the right place! Keep up the great work!
