His sister, Sissy, is just the opposite,she is aggressive. If any of my cats mess with Boxer they have to answer to Sissy. She comes running. But anyway my little black kitten seems to be doing very well. She likes people and is very loving. I think she belongs to somebody, but I don't want to give her back. What was she doing on that busy road? I had a poodle a few years ago that was killed on that very road. She was totally blind, so I never left her unattended outside. She had a special pen to play in. I went to the store and my husband at the time let her out. When I returned first thing I asked is, Where is Puddy and he said I must have left her outside. I threw all the sacks down and ran out the door yelling for her. The neighbors were crazy looking for her. They all knew Puddy and loved her. We found her on the next road. I thought I was going to die after seeing her little body laying there after protecting her for years. She was blind for the last 5 years of her life. Needless to say I divorced my husband quickly after that. But that road has terrible memories for me.

Looks like Puddy sent you an angel

Put two litterpans in the room far enough away from the food and water so as not to cause health issues. Play classical music softly in the background and burn a nightlight in the room-

Hissy, will you adopt ME?

God bless you, Darla. I have two black cats myself, both rescues, and a black-and-white rescue. Thank you so much for taking care of that poor baby.

Quick update. She has a home. My sister came to visit from Virginia and took him to Petsmart and bought him toys and a leash, and yes he actually likes walking with the leash. She took him on the plane and she called last night and told me she was going to sleep with him to make him feel safe. She has a room she built just for her cats, a sun room that is. She is taking him to the vet to have her checked over, but Jinx is doing great. He found a wonderful home with 7 other cats to play with. Thanks everyone

OMG, do people actually do rituals on black cats? i thought that was fictional
