How does one have a kitty certified to be a therapy pet? My
Elliott (negative) might be qualified, he is very quiet and gentle. Young,
too.

In my humble opinion, these kitties are perfectly dispositioned to be
therapy cats. I would love to get one of my animals certified to be a
therapy pet that we could go visit the children's hospital, or the senior
home, but they think that everything is a toy and put there for them to chew
on until they decide that it is not a toy. And that's just the cats.
Marigold and Suzette might have the disposition that allows them to have
a higher calling.
Just a thought. :)

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!
