Hello, my name is Clinton, and I own 2 cats, one of which I found 2 days ago at a friend's party. If you have seen the posts from Shawn, we have the same cats. This cat is a stray, and we have been taking care of it for the last few days, trying to nurse it back to health, and make it part of our family of pets.
I have never taken in a stray cat before, as my newfound love for animals is quite strong, partly because I was never allowed to have pets as a child. However, I decided that since I am on my own now, I can do whatever I please, and I have now made animals my hobby.
We took Nakita in a few days ago, and he was starved of both nutrition and affection. We fed him little by little, and tended to his wounds, which we have not found out if they are self-inflicted, or from a fight he may have got in when he was in the wild.
The good news is that Nakita is doing very well. We have kept him in the garage, as we do not want him near the other animals until he has been tested for everything and anything. We just want to make sure that he is healthy before we bring him into our house.
He had diahrrea for a few days, however, that quickly subsided, as his stool has become more solid, and he has begun to not sleep as much as he did when we took him in.
Nakita is a wonderfully affectionate cat, and loves to sit on my shoulder, like a parrot. He lets me take him around and see the sights while perched on my shoulder. I have never seen another cat that has the same personality as he does. He is charcoal gray with yellow eyes, and loves to cuddle with me.
I hope to learn more about cats through this forum, and I look forward to hearing some advice about the issues that may arise when I bring him into the house to meet the other cat, Cairo, and the two dogs.
Thanks for listening,
Clint
