Tuesday Tails....

Update on Lacey!  Here is what her new mom has to say:

 "She is a loving and affectionate pretty little lady:). Still hisses @ my Lurch but they are getting used to each other. A good sleep partner now and has to be wherever I am:)"

And guess what the other big news is...  Gigi is a BOY!  Gigi's name will now be changed to Gimli.  The whole time he must have been thinking, "why are you calling me some stupid girl's name??  I am a boy! Can't you tell? "  = er ... no Gimli, I couldn't.  You felt like a girl, you sounded like a girl, you acted like a girl...  maybe Gigi is your stage name?"  ha!  either way, I am either getting really bad at distinguishing between the two sexes lately, or you had a good surgeon!

Gigi/GIMLI lovin' life!

Friends, I have a dilemma - the kind people who have adopted Jelly have written me this since I went over on Saturday and retrieved her from where she had been hiding for over a week.  I don't know what else to tell her - I have advised her that she just needs to get Jelly out of the little hiding spaces in the room, and hold her forcefully at first on her lap and begin to pet her.  She is afraid to even do this.  Mind you, this is a sweet little woman who probably doesn't weigh over 100.

"Hi Janine: It isn’t going very well with Jelly. she hisses & tries to lunge at us when we look in to see her, so now I just go in & talk to her. She never did that before, just  the growling. Of course I haven’t given up, & it has been only two weeks.My whole being hurts for her. I guess I am afraid to put my hand anywhere towards her, or even close to her, as she lashes out. No, we will not give up!"

I know I have an assertive personality, and maybe thats what makes me good with cats - they know I am the dominant one, and they learn to like me faster this way.  But how do you teach someone who is not so assertive to be assertive with a cat?  HELP!!

It was wet and muddy out there this morning.  I gave Peanut Butter a half a drontal (worming pill) this morning - had crushed it up beforehand and put it in his wet food.  His belly looks large - so I am thinking its some kind of wormy thing, but hopefully the pill will do the trick of whatever is causing it.  If not, I pray he is rescued soon so that a vet can give him the once over. 

I have the day off today, and have a million things, as usual, sigh.............  I wish I had just one whole day to do what I've always wanted to do:  sit and read.  Its just never the case. 

I wish you a good day, please spread the word about the ones still out there needing homes - Peanut Butter, Elvis, Mr. Fluffypants - I saw two new kitties out there this morning at different locations, both uneartipped, and I wondered what their stories were.  There are two sweet boys left at Garson, one is black and white, the other is a grey tabby - both RUN to me when they see my car, and I trip over them walking back to the feeding spots on the other side of the vacant lot - one is the kitty that was crying because he was stuck due to the amount of snow we had from the storm two weeks ago.  I need to think of names - both boys (I am SURE about one of them because I had him neutered a month or two ago!).  :) 

Have a great day!
