Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / July 2005Duffy and Holly photo albums
I just "created" new Picture Trail photo albums for Holly and Duffy. Some of the photos are duplicates of the ones I use in the albums that illustrate Duffy's introduction to Holly, but many are new. Here are the links, for those who would like to view them. A word of warning is appropriate: I don't know how to keep my hands off the camera when Duffy and Holly do anything more clever than merely breathe!

How can I get my link to show blue and underline on here. I pasted the link from my album on here and it came out black and white and not underlined, couldnt click on it, do you know what I am doing wrong? Thanks Chris >> I just "created" new Picture Trail photo albums for Holly and Duffy. >> Some [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > Thanks > Chris Thanks. They are my babies! I use Outlook Express, and links are not underlined when I first print them but will be underlined after the message is sent. In word processors (such as WordPerfect), you need to press the enter key after typing the link and then it should be underlined.

They really are amazing -- and a constant source of delight. You're right...Holly always demanded to be an "only" cat (or so I thought), but the slow-and-gradual approach worked wonders. They have adjusted beautifully.

He had been at the animal shelter for several months (and I suspect he had been neglected by his previous "owners"), so he looked very shabby and scruffy when I first adopted.

And that first picture of him in the shelter -- I honestly didn't see what you saw. He looked like a wreck. I felt pity for him. I followed in the background and just admired you for doing something I didn't have the courage to do -- adopt a "basket case" with "no future". Now, down the road, I see what this cat has become, as well as, our -- **GASP!** deaf AND blind resident cat, and it's a growth experience! >>He really is gorgeous -- and it's another case where I didn't realize when I >>adopted him that he would become so beautiful.

Duffy has to be the success story of all success stories! You know, at least two people here both would have said, "Euthanize this cat and get a healthy specimen". We all *KNOW* you spent a lot of time and love (and probably money) on Duffy - it shows. But putting aside the benefits Duffy got from you adopting him... anybody can also see what *YOU'VE* gotten out of having him. Just for the record (even though most of us already know the answer), Mary, are you ever sorry you adopted a "less than perfect" cat? ;> Hugs, CatNipped >> I just "created" new Picture Trail photo albums for Holly and Duffy. >> Some [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] > > CatNipped Duffy is an extraordinary little cat. When I first adopted him, I thought I was doing it *for* him. After adopting him, I found that he brought incredible joy into *my* life. I don't know which two people you are thinking about, but I do realize that many people will automatically euthanize these special needs kitties. And what a tragedy that is -- Duffy is a happy, vibrant cat and can do almost anything that any sighted cat can do. In fact, there are certain things that he has learned to do (undoubtedly to compensate for lack of sight) that other cats cannot do. For example, Holly can easily leap to high places; obviously, Duffy cannot do that because he can't see a landing spot. On the other, Duffy is a little gymnast. He literally *climbs* up and down and swirls around the poles of the cat tree. That is something that very few cats will do. One of the photos on his album shows him as he starts the descent, and another shows him a moment later -- he starts down head-first like a squirrel, then swivels his hips and backs the rest of the way down like a little bear. As to your question about whether I am every sorry that I adopted a "less than perfect cat." No, I can honestly say that I have never for a moment regretted it. In fact, I consider him (and also Holly) to be "my perfect cat." He is one of the most loving (and lovable) cats I have ever seen. Blindness has not rendered him imperfect in any way. Thanks for your interest!

Both Phillip and Lyn wrote here that a person should choose a "young, healthy" cat over one with "handicaps". Phillip went so far as to say a handicapped cat was a "euthanasia candidate". > And what a tragedy that is -- Duffy > is a happy, vibrant cat and can do almost anything that any sighted cat can [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > shows him a moment later -- he starts down head-first like a squirrel, then > swivels his hips and backs the rest of the way down like a little bear. Cats just take my breath away for *SO* many reasons, but foremost of them is their courage, perserverance, and will to survive! I have a friend who was never a "cat person" until she came over to see my new kittens (of a pregnant cat I was fostering - and later ended up adopting along with her kittens ;>). She didn't close my bedroom door behind her and my cocker spaniel followed us into the room to see what was going on in there. All five kittens, 4 days old with their eyes still shut, hissed at the strange monster and swiped at his nose! My friend could not believe that these tiny, helpless creatures were willing to "get it on" with a dog 20 times their size! Right after that she adopted a cat of her own and has had one or two ever since. ;> > As to your question about whether I am every sorry that I adopted a "less > than perfect cat."
