Ah, Susan, while I think that is the perfect middle name for her, I don't really want her associated with my family, which is 3-4% Neanderthal. Being a little Neanderthal may be what made my bone structure able to birth my 10lb babies. And Neanderthals were actually a gentle species. Not like she whose name we shudder to utter.
Except for the fact that she looks exactly like an artist's depiction of a Neanderthal face from a skull reconstruction. She is so foul that most would reject her anyway, but she's ugly too.
The two brother cats, ten years old at the time, that we adopted in Dec. 2019 still run if we approach them. If we sit still they will come to us for pets, but -boy! we'd better not move! They really need to go to the Vet, but I can't see ANY way to get them into a carrier. If we trapped them and forced them into one they'd be hysterical and untreatable at the Vet's office. Obviously if we can see that one of them is really sick we would do what is needed. But I don't understand how they can still be skittish after all this time. We don't even YELL at them!
Presumably, you feed them. I understand they have pet tranquilizers. The vet should know how to deal with them. Our last cat obviously resented being relocated to Florida. He spent the following nine months hiding under cars, getting filthy dirty and refusing to clean himself. When we prepared the car for the trip north, he got in the carrier without a word of complaint during the whole trip and when he got "home," he waited at the back door and headed for where his food was supposed to be. At the end of summer, when we prepared to head back down south, he was nowhere to be found. So, we left a note for the tenants telling them they had a cat. He was the resident cat for many years until he got old and disappeared. Animals have a mind of their own.

Her story. She was rescued by Diane, and was doing well. A couple of years later, Diane did another rehome. This cat beat her up big time, and she left to join a dog, Juliet, that had moved down the road, with which she sleeps. And then she began to beat up the cat across the road. Beth's cat, Marigold, who will not use a litter box, but who will not now go outside because of Miss Kitty. Beth then had a house fulla poop and pee every where all the time. Nancy came to the rescue taking her, Miss Kitty, home, and keeping her in a big dog cage on her porch for four weeks. She's allergic so can't have her inside. Hope was she would reorient--she didn't. As soon as she was let out she headed down the road to Juliet. Nancy brought her home, again, and began looking for a way to rehome her, again, and came to me. . . This is rural small town life. . . .
Plan to keep her from jaunting back to Juliet is to make her a purely inside cat. Which will solve the bunny problem too. Hope she accepts it because this is her last chance at life. Best as we can tell, she has never been an inside cat. So pray. She just came out of the carrier, let me pet her, is now under the foot stool/chair (can't tell). Bunny is still out there, beginning to worry something is wrong. Looks like mebbe a tummy ache, me too.
Nancy is just up the road from Juliet. Me, down the road a quarter mile, turn onto paved road down half a mile, turn again onto my road across a quarter mile, over the bridge. Not an easy or natural jaunt. That said, every dog I ever had when they escaped ended up at Beth's, so. . . .
It is rather interesting seeing those cops in line with wooden clubs about 2-3 feet long. I wonder what their reaction would be if confronted with a disciplined group of people armed with quarterstaves (about seven feet long).

ReplyDeleteHeck, they could have just snagged a sample from Marjorie Traitor Greene!
DeleteThanks, Alan.

DeleteNeanderthals weren't so ugly. I think MTG deserves her own designation.

Getting new kitty today. She has had a trubbled past. Wish me luck.
ReplyDeleteHope she's a mouser.
DeleteDoes she have a name?
DeleteSUSAN, me too!
DeleteALAN, FORMERLY LUCY, NOW MISS KITTY. i am sure I'll find a new name for that feels right to me, in a while.
The mice will name her Lucyfur!
DeleteHappy new Kitty day!!! Meow! 😺
Our Miss Kitty has been with use for --how long? at least three years -- and that is still her name. No plans to change it.
DeleteGood luck with yours!

I surely hope we can do this, because I'm the last chance. If we fail, next trip is to the shelter.

So, what's to keep LucyFur from jaunting back to Juliet from your house?
DeleteBunny outside my kitchen window, my view from the computer. Very cute bunny, just sitting chomping on something. I am laughing
ReplyDeleteBunnies are so very cute!! 🐰
Delete(Be careful kitty doesn't go after bunny.)

ReplyDeleteGosh, you won't be bored, puddle! Do keep us posted on the wildlife situation. ❤️
ReplyDeleteSooo many shootings. At least 3 today: Kenosha WI, Austin TX, and Columbus OH.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you, Renee and Demetrius!!
I have no problem with handing all my guns over to the government.
