yes, I've taken in ANOTHER cat

Like I needed another one.

We got her tested for FIV and FLuk - both negative - and then brought her home and stashed her in my bathroom.

A few days later we ran her by our regular vet and discovered she was already fixed - so that's one less expense for us!

We've named her Zhaan for http://farscape.wikia.com/wiki/Zhaan,_Pa'u_Zotoh so, guess what color she is?

She is NOT impressed with the dogs or the other cats, but she's really a sweet little thing.

Here's a pix of her, and, yes, there is something strange about her right eye.

You are both cool. My first two cats were strays that I took in. Now they are no longer with me as time went too fast and they are now at Rainbow Bridge. I adopted one from a senior moving to senior housing and then when the second one of the originals and my first stray died I got a second one from a rescue. They sure checked me out, kinda like I was applying fr a home loan and a job all at once. LOL.

Cats know who the suckers are.
I have 11. And 3 dogs! Well I have 1 dog and the neighbors dogs just won't go home.
Out of the 11 cats 4 where born at the house and the rest either wandered in on their own or we found them in various locations.
One was at a construction ste and just walked over to our truck and hopped in when I opened the door.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24664)   ranked 2 out of 5,815 in cats  3 years ago

well, only one of my hoard was born "here" actually he was "hatched" at the vet since his mom had to have a c-section, the day after I picked her up

His name is Solo, since he was the only kitten, he'll be 5 next month

Well Zhaan is a cute little thing. DId you ask the vet about her eye? I wondered if it was an old injury or perhaps a birth defect. At any rate, I personally think it gives her characfter. She sounds like my mother's cat. Sadie wants absolutely nothing to do with the two dogs. She sits just above their reach and looks down on them with utter disdain.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24664)   ranked 2 out of 5,815 in cats  3 years ago

Yeah, I asked, they thought it might be an old injury, doesn't seem to slow her down any, she could've been born that way

Hi Elic,



Ohhh, she is so cute but don't matter about her eyes, you really have to look for it anywhay, love her colour too. She will soon get used to the cats now that she is one of the family, just so sweet.


Tamara

well, she's holding out to be a fussy cat, but then again, Rio never really gets on with the other cats either, she just tollerates them and isn't really friendly - granted she has the size to scare them off, Zhaan doesn't, at least not yet

At one time I had 19 cats. I had 10 acres of land and they lived in the woods and kept the place clean of rodents, squirrels, birds, snakes, moles, oppossums... just about anything. They all eventually died of Feline Leuk.
I've had as many as four dogs at once. The two shelties died (13 years old each). I have since moved and the dogs stayed with my ex-wife. I won't get cats again or dogs either for that matter. I love them... but my pet days are past.

wow, well, all mine are inside and while Timus is FIV, the bunch are Fluk free.

Zhaan is so cute~~~ It is a good thing she's already fix, if not you may need to spend more for that. She may not be impressed with other dogs and cats but she will be as time goes on. She just nervous with the new surrounding. I see one eye is smaller than another in the picture, I wonder why...But who care, she still cute~~~


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24664)   ranked 2 out of 5,815 in cats  3 years ago

well, we shaved her tummy and saw the scar, so there's no reason not to think she's fixed

She's already calming a bit, if the cats don't get in her face, and since they are getting used to her smell, they are leaving her alone more

She is a cutie tho

ElicBxn, do we have "SUCKERS" written all over our foreheads in bright lights? lol I do have to wonder! I've been taking in strays too left and right so it seems. I've taken in 5 strays from my area because I can not turn any of them away. I don't have the heart to do that to any of them. They've all wondered their way here one way or another and have been here ever since. They'll continue to stay here as long as they want to too. I'm glad too because at least they know they'll be fed and given their yearly shots and when they're sick, they'll get medical attention. I might not be rich but I'll be rich with lots and lots of love and company! And so will YOU!! rasp lol Oh my! my friend! We're in this together for the long haul! surrender

I think we must, Cats, and if people would just quit calling me when they find another cat.

I do have a friend who won't tell her other friend how to reach us because she wants to rehome her really mean kitty

She is a really beautiful cat. I have rescued a cat in November. And
I keep thinking that I need another cat so that he wont be lonely.
But he is my Prince and I don't know how he will handle another
cat if it did come along. He seems to be just fine by himself but
I would love to rescue another. We do need more people in the world like
you that likes to take cats in. Take care and have a great day. Cats are wonderful.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24664)   ranked 2 out of 5,815 in cats  3 years ago

Thanks Patricia, yeah, I agree, more people that know how to take care of the ones they've got too - at least this one wasn't abandoned because she was pregnant! I wonder what ended up with her outside like she was
