Hi All,
My name is Dee known as Deecat. I wrote into the Behavior Forum a few days ago with a problem with my furkid Luckie. Several of you were kind enough to give me some suggestions which I've tried and seem to be working so far. Not being familiar with the site (but I'm going to get familiar, I love it.) I didn't know I could introduce myself. I've been reading about all of you. What a fantastic group! I live in a small, small town in Eastern Washington State called Waitsburg. We're about 20 miles east of Walla Walla which is famous for Walla Wall sweet onions. I'm 57 going on 21 and my husband and I are both disability retired. We have one small dog, Sammy, who is part dotson and beagle we think. We got him from one of the humane socities in Seattle when we lived there 5 years ago. He is 8 now, spoiled but super intelligent. He adores the other furkids especially Jessie. She was feral and came to us first. We are not sure how old she is. I suppose we should have called her Princess because she is the queen bee. She is gray and white, long haired and lots of attitude. She has large slanted green eyes that look like she has eye make up on. She's beautiful. Nikkie came next. Someone dumped him while I was in the hospital recovering from a heart attack a few years ago. My husband found him immediately and he was waiting for me when I got home. He was probably about 5 months old. He is a tabby abssieon (Sorry I can't remember how to spell it) with tabby coloring, short hair but long and lean with long legs, and tuffs on the top of his ears. He has a sleek, struting walk. He's not real verbal but has a very soft voice. When my husband introduced us he immediatly decided I was his and it has been so ever since. He is not a lap cat but loves to wrap himself around me as much as he can. He is awsome and I love him dearly. Luckie came to us last. You can read about him on my behavior post. He is black, white chested with round bright green eyes. He had a very rough time before we got him. Its taken a long time (a couple of years) for him to decide that Mama, at least, is okay. I adore all 4 of our furkids. We have also in the last couple of months acquired another one. We call her Lady and she is an outside cat. She is also a beautiful short haired tabby. Apparently she had been left by someone but it does not appear that she has been abused. She is a lover and when you pick her up she wraps her paws about your neck and just hugs you and rubs her face against yours and gives you kisses. We feed her, have taken her to the vet so make sure she has her shots. Someone has had her neutered. The vet said she is very healthy but she did have worms so was treated for that. She comes when we call and at night she comes running to be put into the garage so she can sleep on the bed we got her. We found by putting a litter box in the garage that she is box trained and she uses it. She comes to our sliding patio door and will sit and look in when she wants attention and we are not outside. She will come into the house but does not like to stay for more than a few minutes. She is very verbale but has a very soft voice. She is such a sweetling. Well, now that I've written a book about my kids, I'll check out. I love this site and meeting everyone and their furkids. Next time...
