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!
Nina
