Good morning from here in the UK. Have just come accross your web site and love it.
I am possibly like most people and am owned by two gorgeous cats - I have a tabby that is about 7 years old- daft as a brush, soft as a kitten and dafter than me. I also have Vicki who is a black and white female who has had it real bad until we got her. Vicki was abused from the day she was born, she has been thrown, kicked, abused to an extent that was not possible and spent her first 4 years in and out of rescue centres. The final straw was when she was thrown out of an 8 story building and shattered her right front leg. The RSPCA amputated it and looked after her for 2.5 years. She was homed but due to her past, she would bite and scratch and is physcologically scarred big time. no one wanted her. I already had Brandy and was not looking for another when I saw her - I visited the centre and had signed all the paperwork and paid the donation before I had even seen her. I was adamant that she would have a new life and it would be great.
We have had her nigh on three years - longer than this cat ever had a good home and she is 1000 per cent adored. She is still a little messed up in her head and still lashes out every now and then but I would not swap her for anything. Seems strange that the cat they could not home went on TV a fortnight after we collected her and they had to make a part at the end saying she was in a very loving home. Anyway, enough of this as am sure you dont want to hear it - my question for you all is, Vicki can get very exstatic(??) when being fussed and she gets plenty of it - wouldnt you? When she gets to a certain stage - she gives little nips with her teeth on my hand, finger etc. It does not hurt and I dont chew her out for it - Ilove her too much and in its own way - its really nice - guess she trusts us enough - why does she do it?
Had cats in my house for all my 34 years now - need em like breathing - suffering with depression right now but there is nothing like a cat on your knee when feeling low.
Heck, I even slep better when I can hear either Brandy or Vicki purring - sad or what?
