As I posted in Harriet's memorial thread, I have two new kitty additions to the house.
In Harriet's memory, I adopted an older (4ish) less adoptable cat. He's not quite as unadoptable as Harriet was but he'd still been at the shelter for about 6 months. He came in to the shelter angry and unneutered with tom cat cheeks, tom cat 'tude and scarred up ears. We initially thought he was semi-feral but when he was taken out of his cage (in a feral box) and placed in a room, turns out, he was pretty sweet--he just didn't like being locked up in a cage! Anyway, he was placed up on the floor for adoption and then we noticed... the problem.
The humping problem! He humped everything relentlessly. He chaffed his poor little wee from humping his towels so much! He even once molested a junebug to death. Neutering eventually took care of the problem and he's mostly hump free these days.
He's turned into a big ol' mush who loves to be held on my should like a burping baby. He jumps into my lap then crawls up and puts his head near my shoulder, shuts his eyes and starts grooming my face and I'm supposed to cuddle him or I get bitten.
He had never been in a house until I brought him home and it was kind of sad watching him figure out how a bed worked, what a TV was, and echoing footsteps.
He a brown classic tabby and uh, kinda chubs. Oh, another cool thing: He eats raw food with abandon and glee!
He figured out the fridge immediately.
