Starlight notes for Debi-

Before he eats canned food, you need to either put drops in his nose, or put some food on his mouth otherwise he can't smell it and won't eat.

You need a covered litter box- he digs to China! LOL What a mess, he flings litter everywhere-

Drop a few colored marbles or stones in his water bowl and he will drink the water more than if he would otherwise.

He is still really sensitive on his back feet- clipping his claws requires dosing him with Rescue Remedy to mellow him out.

If you brush his tail he will bite you

He attacks anything on top of the blankets at night, but if you sleep underneath the covers he will leave you alone.

He does better bathing in a double sink than a bathtub

He grinds his teeth when he is unhappy

And here is his latest photo taken just a few moments ago

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 .

Great picture of Mr Starlight on that cat tree
and he is still very beautiful

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)

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-

MA - make sure you take some photos!


I want to cuddle and snuggle with the King, I have been keeping up with this thread and I just love it.

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!!!

Seems I am always a day late and a dollar short!


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!!

MA,

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!
