Every feral cat story I hear, I just can’t
stop crying – there is a book called “Livings in shadows” - it’s
a book about how to take care of feral cats – the title itself makes me
cry because it represents so much of how their life is – I had a feral who
used to hisses and growls as she ate – I just love my ferals – I am sure that your big puffy head boy is
in heaven - -----Original Message----- We had a feral for about 3 years that we fed...a
burmese mix, all black, big
puffy head with a small body and stubby legs. Everytime he saw us he'd
hiss....so of course we named him Hisspuff. After about a year we could
pet him while he ate, but he'd still hiss when he first saw us. We tried
to get him to come into the house...but he never would, just prefered the straw
we put out for him in the bushes out front. He got sick, nose stuffed up
and eyes running - but wouldn't ever let us catch him. He showed up at
the back of the house one day...just to say goodbye...again we tried to catch
him, but he wouldn't have it and went off to die...but he'll ALWAYS be one of
my favorites! I know what you mean, some of my feral hisses and spits at me
whenever I am near them – but I still love them as much if you know what
I mean – There is this poem some one of the FIP list sent to the other
list member a long time ago when they lost their love one – and I found
it very soothing and am trying to find it so that I can share with this list
member - -----Original Message----- Thanks Kathy, Seeing them all again
will be wonderful. Like you I have had pets of all kinds and I loved them all
(even some that were not so lovable.)It makes it easier knowing that they will
be there for me when it is my turn to go. Do you Yahoo!? |
