Wow, that's neat. I didn't know you could buy one, I thought maybe you found her as a baby, and in trouble or something. Sometimes that happens in the wild kingdom too.She's very beaytiful, does she ever act like a wildcat? I guess I would be kinda scared of that, with a wild companion. sometimes our domestic ones get to acting like part wildcat, especially my little Inky. Hope you have a good day! hootiecat

Yes, she does have her "wild cat" moments, but I love it
The trick is, you can't let it scare you. For if you do, she likes to intimidate you
For instance, there is a woman who works at Petsmart who just loves Amber, but she showed fear when trying to pet her. So, every time Amber sees her, she will "bark" at the woman to scare her. I think Amber likes to watch her jump
But, there is another girl who works there that just walked up to Amber and started petting her. Amber just sits there and lets this girl pet her and scratch her chin. Most shoppers can walk up to her and pet her. Some, she just does not like. I think she can sense certain things about people. I know they do not like strong odors; cologne, perfume or strong smelling household cleaners. The weirdest thing, she doesn't like people with glasses

ENGLAND... LAND OF HOPE AND GLORY!
I wonder if thats what my parents cat felt about my husband, because he wore glasses!.

He never had any animals, even as a child, but everytime we paid a visit to my parents, their cat would always jump on the back of his chair and stare at him as if on purpose
. We used to howl, because it certainly used to make my husband jump!!
. Their clever little things!!

I spoil Rosie also John. a girl i work with said she's more spoilt and better fed than her own children!. But it's hard to explain to a lot of people that our cats are our children !!!!

I always refer to my cats as my "kids".

wow, that is so cool. I guess she is just like any other animal, who senses fear or dislike in a human. I would love to pet her! I'll bet she is real soft and fuzzy. I would'nt be afraid. My little dog, who is a purebred mini dachshund, can sense fear or harmful intent in people really well. She won't leave them alone,as little as she is she'll try to stare them down or frighten them away. I know from her reactions who I can trust, And when I can't trust someone, she lets me know! As a result, people who don't like her or me, don't come around here much, and that is just fine to me! Animals are cool, as small as she is, she would give her life to protect me and thats neat. I hope I never have to use that though. Well pet Amber for me, since I cannot. bye, hootiecat:eek:wl:

It is really cool how animals learn to use their extra senses. We humans have them too, but just don't use them like we should.
Yes, Amber is real soft, especially the "beard" on the sides of her face. I love to kiss that part of her face.

John,
Your beautiful story brought tears to my eyes. My condolences on Tabby's passing. She truly had a wonderful life with you, and i'm sure she's watching over you and Amber from the Bridge right now. Thanks for sharing, and i'm glad her little brother found a good home as well. Take care.

I'm happy for you, to have such a beautiful animal to help you get through this time of sadness. because of my many freindships with different animals, especially my 7, I think I do use my "senses" I also can sense harm and phonies out in the world who do it. Keeps me sharp, I guess. But being imperfect, I slip once in a while. I'm kinda like a loner, as much as I can. Try that in a house with 5 people and 7 animals, oh yeah and a tank full of fish! I hope you are feeling better, your freind hootiecat

I just want to say thank you to all of you for caring. It is never easy watching a pet that you loved pass away. But, I know now, she is in a better place. You can just tell when they say to you. "I love you for taking such great care of me, but it is time for me to go on to the next life". We will see each other again little Tabby girl

I'm sorry to hear of your loss John, but from what I have seen on this site, you and your wife are VERY good kitty parents, and give a great home to all of your fur babies. Tabby had a good life, and knew she was loved...someday you'll be reunited with her, and she'll be just as excited to see you.

Thanks again for all the kind words
I am happy that we were able to give this girl a new chance at life when we found her. At least she knew she was loved
