I'm "Bunnelina," the name of my recently departed "Cat of a Lifetime." I'm delighted to be here. I came desperate for info about ringworm and found friends, encouragement, and advice. I hope to help others as much.
I've loved cats since before I could walk. I've been getting shots for cat allergies for more than 15 years and have never had any problems. I see my vet more often than my friends because we have teenaged cats and sick kittens.
We use Soft Paws and love them. I confess I declawed two cats in the past, because our vet recommended it and did it some special way.... and we were all lucky they had no ill effects. Still, that was one of the worst days of my life. I would NEVER do it again or recommend it. Thirteen years later I still feel guilty. Soft Paws rule.
I wish I could post photos of our four gorgeous current cats and the exceptional Bunnelina, but I can't figure it out.
But here's everybody in a nutshell:
Bunnelina, a longhaired calico who was apparently a heavy smoker (had a smoker's meow) before we adopted her. She was the love of my life. Died of lymphoma complications at 16.
Snictoria, 15, a dainty tortoiseshell Dollface Persian with orange eyes and a mind of her own.
Snalbert, 14, a talkative, cameo Dollface Persian who uses my laptop when I'm not home. So far he's emailed the library and installed Firefox updates. I don't even use Firefox; he does.
And our 14-week-old kittens:
Wendelina Pantherina (Wendy), a skittish feral baby calico. I shouldn't have named her after a poisonous mushroom (amanita pantherina) because now she probably has ringworm. She will purr in our arms and then hide.
Possumus Passamaquoddy (Possum, Possy), a Maine Coon type. He is probably the most adorable kitten ever, with his feral-tipped ear. He has a gray striped suit with short pants, mittens, long white socks, and ruff. His shelter named him after the Maine tribe, and we decided he was sort of possum-y as well.
As you can see I read T.S. Eliot's poem, "The Naming of Cats" and took it to heart!
