I came here because I never tire of talking about cats. This is actually my third attempt to write this intro post as one cat jumped on the keyboard and typed in gibberish and after I got him back on the floor my other boy jumped up and deleted the whole thing. He is now on my lap being rewarded with ear scritches
Anyway, I'm a crazy cat lady married to a crazy cat guy. We have three cats. Our oldest, Choo, is a DLH with IBS/food allergies that we adopted a little over a year ago after our previous cat died (I'm still in terrible morning for her). The second cat, Matty, was taken in as a foster because he was terrified of everything and everyone at the shelter. Some on my shift believed that he'd never come around and would end up being untouchable but I worked and worked with him and now he is one of the sweetest love-bugs I've ever known. We kept him because he did so well with us and our cat Choo really bonded to him. Our third cat just came to us a few weeks ago. He was one of the "at large" cats we were feeding over winter. He and the other hood cats had a rough rough winter outdoors in temps as low as 2 or 3 degrees. The third cat was nicknamed "Mr. Friendly" as he was the only one who would approach us for pets. We kept the name and call him Friendly for short. Mr. Friendly has made a smooth transition into the house although he has had some urination issues that are not medically related. Our vet has a theory that he had been abandoned because he has a behavioral issue with peeing outside boxes. We are currently actively working on the issue and we refuse to give up on this sweet little guy.
