Re: Balance of puddy cats
I agree that you should call. Something is calling you to this boy and I agree
that the trip to Iowa would be way too much stress on him! You would never had
thought twice had it not been meant for you to get him.

I am really on the fence about this. On one hand I would like to think fate
is intervening. A felk near me. He was just neutered 1.5 yo needs a home. May
have a home in IOWA I am in VA. The person in IA cannot take until May but
deals with FELV cats. I have not talked to the owner or I should say caretaker
she is not able to keep the cat until then. Right now the cat is still at the
Vet clinic. i have only spoken with a siamese rescue person who got involved bc
it is siamese. They cannot house due to teh felk. I had a part Siamese cat 4
years ago and will always miss the funny boy named
Puttyrat See my email addy. I am just too tired to talk to this lady today. I
had a root canal started Friday and my mouth still hurts. Hard to be upbeat
when I am in pain. I think the cats will be taken care of, but I kinda would
like the Siamese boy.

Re: Balance of puddy cats
I know mine miss the stolen ones. Shimmer is my eldest, he is 12 now, and not too much into the antics of the young ones. Missy is my kitty with congenital heart disease, and she self-limits her play. That leaves Tuffy no one really to play with when I am gone, and I think she is lonely and confused.

Re: Balance of puddy cats ~ new cat?
ps re adding another. You never know. My friend just added a third cat to his 2 female cat, 2 male golden retriever household. Rocco has been a perfect addition, bringing out the best in each of the other cats. The dogs are terrified of him! Part of it, I think, is he kept Rocco isolated for quite a while and did slow introductions (followed Pam Johnson Bennett's suggestions). Another friend introduced a male kitten to her two old boy cats and dog. They do mostly fine with occasional annoyance directed toward the kitten, now one year old. White I still had 6 cats (now only 5), I tried to introduce an older, disabled male foster cat and then a neglected male foster kitten. My youngest boys would have none of it. They harrassed and chased and fought with the new one. The older boy was adopted by one friend and the kitten by another. The kitten was accepted warmly by the 2 resident (adult male litter mate cats) in his new home. The older boy got along with the dogs in his new home. I think, like people, the personalities make a difference.

Right now the cat is still at the Vet clinic. i have only spoken with a siamese rescue person who got involved bc it is siamese. They cannot house due to teh felk. I had a part Siamese cat 4 years ago and will always miss the funny boy named Puttyrat See my email addy. I am just too tired to talk to this lady today. I had a root canal started Friday and my mouth still hurts. Hard to be upbeat when I am in pain. I think the cats will be taken care of, but I kinda would like the Siamese boy. Sally
Balance of puddy cats
Hi Folks, You never know if the other cats miss a deceased cat. I figure for the most part mine don't. I am now rethinking that. Being cats they are subtle about their emotions. Well Right now I have 5 cats on my bed, no room for me unless I move one. And Grey and White who shows her dislike for me more often than not has been lovey dovey towards me. Not sure that will last but there does seem to be a change in her behavior. I am was not sure...contemplating taking on another felk cat who is at a Vet Clinic not far from me. However I am not sure how the stress of many cats would affect this cat. I am not sure how a new cat will affect my cats. Mostly they will go OH another one I have not talked with the owner yet. She has a home for it in May but cannot house the cat until that time. Anyway, just thinking out loud. Emotionally I am not sure I can handle another 'sick' cat. I know it is a crap shoot with these guys even with the best care. Maybe I will keep him until May. Well I hope everyone is well and the kitties slaves as well :-) Sally -- Sally, Eric (not a cat),Junior(angel), Tiny(angel) Fluffy(soul mate angel), Speedy, Grey and White, Ittle Bitty, Little Black, Lily, Daisy, Pewter, Junior Junior (newest) I call him JJ , Silver, and Spike Please Visit my Message board for some pictures.

Re: Balance of puddy cats
I am sure mine do. After Stripes died, Squeaky kept urinating on the paper towel roll. I would replace and he'd urinate again. The vet said it was grief. It stopped after a couple weeks ~ dind't have this behavior before or after. They were best pals for 15 years. After Teddy died, I almost lost Coco. I know she was grieving for him. They were inseparable. It was heartbreaking. She has never been like that with another cat but is with me now.
