I assume that Sid's uses the same petfinder listing site, and the cats with the special needs green heart are the ones at Sid's and the ones without are at Crash's, right?The thing I noticed right off is that there are SO SO SO many declawed cats at your rescue! Your area must have a very knife happy vet to have the majority of rescue cats in that area all come in declawed! Is there a good explanation as to why you get so many digitally mutilated guys? Just seems kinda bizarre...I think out of all the special needs guys, I think Toby is the most handsome, he's got that classic fluffy orange kitty look to him that I just fall for. Reminds me a bit of Moogie, in a way, though he's definitely a big muscular guy, and not the tiny pee-wee she was. I have a stray that visits my yard occasionally for a free meal and some love that looks similar too (I call him Beautiful), but Mythic HATES him, and so I don't think he comes around very often because Mythic is a scary cat when he's aiming to fight for his territory. Maybe Mythic's just jealous cause I don't call him beautiful, but hey I call Mythic a sexy hunk of black kitty, so you'd think he could forgive me calling other cats beautiful, LOL!All my happy cats have silly names:Doobie is my "Doobie-buddy-doober-man! Buddy-doo-buddy-doo-buddy-do! Doobie-doobie-doo!"Tigger is "TiggA-wallpapA-shred-Ar!" (yes, you should see the wallpaper here, it's quite beyond repair, looks like something wild got loose in the place and was trying to claw it's way out through all the walls)Bones is "Evil-little-dev-O!" (behind those sweet crossed little eyes and cute little ears is a lurking beast seeking it's next victim)Miranda and Pinky are still too shy to enjoy all the fuss, so I don't make a big deal of them, just talk quietly when they decide it's safe enough to come out and see me. Pinky worries me, when I pick him up, or get him excited, he begins to cough kinda like a hairball cough/hack/wheeze, but he only does it when excited. I think he has either Asthma, or congestive heart failure, or possibly heartworms, if cats get the same cough as dogs, cause it sounds like late stage heartworm coughing in dogs. He's got to go see a vet soon, I think... if I pet him gently, and reassure him, OR if I pat (beat, really, but not enough to hurt, just enough to be too hard to be called patting) him rather hard on the sides and middle back below the lungs (think of the way parents of kids with Cystic Fibrosis have to beat their kid's chest to break up the secretions) while he is having one of his "fits" he seems to get over it sooner. Not sure why the patting helps, other than maybe it's just so darned distracting that he forgets he's freaking out over something and his heart/respiration rate reduces. I think it warrants a heartworm test, a good stethoscope exam, and possibly a heart ultrasound. I can't pick him up without throwing him into one of these coughing/hacking/wheezing fits (he's not real fond of being held or picked up, and freaks out a bit).No virus found in this outgoing message.
