Marta,
Yes, Marigold likes to be petted. I think she reacts in the same sort
of way. She doesn't hang limp when you pick her up, but she doesn't
fuss or tense either. She's just very relaxed all the time. As far as
I know, Marigold has never growled, but then that doesn't mean anything
in particular. Do you think handling Suzette hurts her, or makes her
uncomfortable and that's why she growls? As I'm sure you know,
different cats use different vocalizations, maybe that's just Suzette's
way of expressing herself. I would be concerned for her, but other than
doing the tests you've already done and keeping a close eye on her
eating/eliminating etc., I don't have any other suggestions. She's in
my prayers that whatever it is that makes her "different" is nothing
that will effect the length or quality of her life. Do your best to
love her without letting it make you crazy. Is it possible to place her
in a quiet home where she could have more undivided attention? Anyone
who's looking for a sweet couch potato would love her!

**She's just the sweetest little mush pile**
that's what S is allright, and she reacts to being
moved (ie when I'm cleaning the cage and must remove
her bedding I sort of pick her up) not by squirming
or tryng to get down but just hangs in my hand limp,
when I set her down she growls and closes her eyes.
Can Marigold be petted? Does she purrr/knead or
other? We pet S and she purrs, turns on her back to
have her belly rubbed and paws knead the air, she
might stare at us dreamingly. Stop the pet and she
curls up and goes to sleep..
My cousin has a kitty rescued as a kitten from a
barn cat situation.
Tippy is middle age now and she acts in a similar
way, never meows, growls, sleep lots, doesn't play
and she's healthy. I never wondered about it b/c I
met Tippy
when she was about 2 yrs..somehow I though a
kitten that didn't play even if feral was a sick
kitten, maybe not?
I'll let everybody know what we find out and Nina,
thanks for telling me about Marigold
Marta
