Starlight sounds to me like he is a very happy cat right now
And what a love in that pic he is
Two of my Persian do not want me to brush them at all and will take off . Olie my black Persian will swat with his claw out if I try to get his tail with a brush , I can trick him while I pet him to comb him on top some . But if I try more then that , oh boy I better watch out .
This picture of Starlight : There is always hope brought tears in my eyes .
I cannot for the life of me understand (or even TRY to) how some people can just dump animals. If they no longer want them, they should at least have the backbone to take to shelter where the littles one can get care and at least a chance at a happy home.
But I am so very thankful that you got Starlight and care for his/her physical problems as well as show him/her the love that was so abruptly and cruelly snatched away from him/her. I am hopeful that K is right in that possibly Starlight escaped from a loving home and is being searched for. Is Starlight neutered and/or declawed? If declawed, it is just unimaginable that he was abandoned defenseless!!
Give Starlight a hug and let him/her know that all of us send lots of love just for him/her.
Please keep us all informed on the progress of Starlight and how Starlight is emotionally and physically. If any can give you a hand/advice/help please let us know. Thank God for you Hissy!
Realized how far back in time I posted to this. I pray little Midnight is a happy, happy kitty cat now. How is Midnight and did you find out sex? (figure you have now)
Mary Anne that photo of Starlight in the condo is beautiful, what a difference you have made in this precious little one's life. Please give him a hug from Auntie Ann.
I really think that he wasn't dumped, but maybe escaped out of a cabin or a motorhome or car? With this personality I don't believe he would be intentionally dumped by anyone. But his bad days are behind him now, and yes, he is King here for the moment! But only because most of my ferals have yet to meet him- Tractor Butt would mow him down in a moment's notice!
So he is safe, and right now he is on the condo grunting his good morning message to me- I think Cassandra is coming over today to meet the King- To heck with meeting hissy!
I can't wait to meet her either- she was supposed to come on Friday but never showed up so we rescheduled. I might have to put her and Craig to work helping us build a horse fence-
Oh Hissy, I have just gotten on here this evening and saw the pictures of Starlight and cried for him I was so happy! He is a different cat from when he was first with you! He is GORGEOUS! And he looks absolutely like he is so very happy and loved now!! I can't tell you how good I feel at seeing him like this! Remember the "snub" he gave you for helping him and causing him some uncomfortable times...well, I am pretty sure he has gotten over it!!!
As I was checking rest of posts, I saw where Starlight has gotten a new family to own!
But Hissy, what I said is still true. The picture you posted was super! And I agree...he DOES look like the king of his domain in his new condo!
I am really sorry it didn't work out to keep him but I am SOOOO very thankful you are the kind and considerate person you are and I applaud you for helping the poor little baby!
And to his new family...looks like HE has YOU already!!
*agog* What a story this little munchkin has had!! well.. give him extra love form the NC area, and I'm so glad he's got a quiet home to look forward to. He is indeed adorable. and Jimmy has to be an angel! *huggles to all involved in the kitty rescue!*
Good thing when Cassandra_Starr came to visit tonight, she didn't bring a larger purse- she wanted to steal Starlight.......and Noddy...........and Wink..........and Bailey..........and Kabota.......... LOL
Here she is with Starlight- Cassie, it was GREAT meeting you and Craig- you are good people! Come back any time!
Craig and I had a BLAST with you guys. He really really liked Mike and was just fascinated to hear about Alaska and about how Mike makes his knives.
I have to tell ya, if I had known I would've fallen so much in love with your entire crew I woulda brought a whole entire semi with me to cart them back to my house. Kenai included!!
Starlight was pure delight MA. I had so much fun watching him play and petting him. Like I said he doesn't have a purr that boy has a MOTOR! LOL! I can't wait to hang out with you guys again, and of course to feed the horses *grin*.
Awwww, I had so much fun!! I didn't mean to take up your whole night though. I got in the car and said to Craig "Woah, we were there for that long? Guess time flies when you're having fun".
Thanks so much for having us over. You two are absolutely wonderful people and meeting you was a wonderful experience. I look forward to more time together!
