Hello everyone! I am so glad to have found this forum!
I am from Michigan, and am the Mom of 9 former ferels, who all live inside. I have found that you can turn any ferel into a loving house cat, it just takes lots of patience and love.
The latest ferel came to me at the first snow. They seem to come to my door and I think there's a sign out there somewhere telling them my address. I named my latest cat after the street I live on, and tried to find her owner. It's springtime now, and I've grown to love her, as has everyone else. She was skin a bones when she came, and was defenseless because she was declawed. She only has 2 teeth, and I was told she's about 8 to 10 years old. I'm wondering if she lost her teeth by trying to defend herself, I'll never know. The most important thing is, she is healthy and warm now.
All my cats are neutered or spayed when I find them, and stay indoors. I have many stories to tell you about each and every one that I have taken in, but it would take too much space on here.
I think the most important message I want to tell people is that any ferel cat can be tamed and can fit in to any home. I have a huge white Boxer who used to hate cats. Now he has a favorite cat who sleeps with him and washes his face. Each cat comes into my home wanting to know where they stand with the other's, and it doesn't take long for them to find out.I have one cat who is holding the TOP CAT position in our home, and the other's try to take that position away, but so far to no avail.
I have one cat that I just found out is part Ocelot, and he is the reining King of our household. I call him Pappa Cat, because he teaches each new addition how to use the toilet and cover the food dishes inbetween meals, open doors and knock on doors. He's very very big, and totally black. He wasn't tame when he came to us, but now he sleeps in our bed.
