Cats

» lindyflood - Hi all

Just thought I would catch up. I have been pretty busy...my family and pets keep me running! Not to mention work, so I am sorry I have not been in to catch up lately.

Well we are finally down to one kitty and we are keeping her...We ended up with Aloha! As they got older and their personalities changed partly due to age but also I think due to the group becoming smaller, I could clearly see which kitty should go to which family. Their personalities literally changed on a day to day basis. Aloha was sort of aloof in the beginning and really was not so interested in humans as much as playing with her littermates and toys..but now she is so lovable and has mellowed. Izzie, the very affectionate runt ended up too shy to be in a multi cat/pet household and I think the group was stunting her so she went to a house where she is the only game in town. She is thriving! Fluffanutter was the last to go and my daughters baby so when it came time to give him up she was devasted. It was hard. She cried for a week but he really needed to go to a multi pet household because he loved the constant action and playfullness and was also a very loving cat to humans. He enjoys big families and I tried to keep him (on the sly) but my husbands allergies were just too bad so I to let him go. So when the opportunity arose with a big multi-pet family that absolutely fell in love with him and begged for him I had to let him go. So in the end, my decisions were for the best of the kitty and not so much which I wanted. I ended up loving each one pretty much exactly the same for who they are. I am working right now..taking a break...and I am looking over on the couch at my two girls..Polly and Aloha and I am the luckiest happiest person ever! Oh by the way..when they spayed Polly they found a huge nasal polyp blocking her sinuses, so they removed it and now she is breeathing through her nose for the first time in her life..lol. although interestingly enough she has lost her "meow". It is so faint I can barely hear it and she used to bellow! I will send pics soon! Would like to learn more about the healing and will check out that class..my dad has been ill so I am thinking I can apply it to him. Is it the same for cats and humans?
