Guest guest Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Good luck Jackie. We took in one of many strays that are around here. Hes about 6 mo now and cute as a button. He does good with the potty, never had an accident, so far any way. We have had him about 6 weeks. Typical kitten. Now you see him then hes gone. I wish I had an ounce of his energy. He wakes me up a couple times a night, and then for good at 5am. He comes on my chest and rubs his nose on mine and then puts his head down so I can rub my chin on the top of his head :-) I pick him up and tell him, Grandma feels a belly rub coming on!!!! He lays there and eats it up. What a ham. Everyone says he spoiled. I said absolutely NOT!! Just overly loved :-) Hugs nne To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world " " May the Lord Bless you and keep you, May the Lord Make his face shine upon you, and give you Peace...Forever " Breast Cancer Patients Soul Mates for Life http://breastcancerpatientssoulmatesforlife.bravehost.com/ Anxiety Depression and Breast Cancer http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/AnxietyDepressionandBreastCancer Angel Feather Loomer www.angelfeatherloomer.blogspot.com The Cancer Club www.cancerclub.com > Dilemma > To: MSersLife > Date: Tuesday, December 6, 2011, 9:18 AM > > > > Hey everyone,…when don’t I have a problem?

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Oh good! I'm glad to know Julep is inside and will be living the good life with her new mommy and daddy:) Let us know how it goes.hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

To: MSersLife Sent: Wednesday, December 7, 2011 6:37 PM Subject: UPDATE.....[Julep]RE: Dilemma Well I talked with Juleps owner last night and he said we could have her if we wanted to. He’s a pretty nice guy and he’s got about 9 animals of all different sorts there, and the last rescue he took in was a Chihuahua, and that’s when Julep wouldn’t come in the house anymore. So he tried to get her in, and ended up leaving food outside, but there are raccoons and coyotes in the area, and I’m wondering if she even gets the chance to eat. She was an abandoned cat herself, and he ended up with her and has had her for about 4 yrs. We don’t know how old she is, but if we adopt her we’ll take her to the Vet’s and get a checkup. Okay she is in the house! Discovered her food took a few bites, and now Steve is showing her the potty box. We always keep them in the bathroom. It’s not that she doesn’t know how to use one, but apparently she doesn’t quite get her whole body in it and sometimes poops on the outside. She’s a pudgy thing. Part Manx and tabby. I’ll take some pictures of her and show you soon what she looks like. She likes to have her belly rubbed, and ears, and loves to snuggle. I have had many cats over the years, and the ones we kept used the potty boxes and the ones that didn’t became barn cats. It’s just been a few years since we had a full time inside cat. Wish us luck!

I'd try and set up a litter box right next to your front door (inside and/or outside) and see if she'll 'go'. I totally understand your not wanting her to freeze...and very much get about not stinking up your house if she can't be litter trained. I think your neighbor is just too damn cavalier about the whole thing; why, he's practically neglectful of her. Such a shame. I would be inclined to talk to a vet about housetraining and see if they have any bright ideas. Good luck on this and let us know how it goes, ok, my friend?love to you, your family and furry pals.Subject: DilemmaTo: MSersLife Date: Tuesday, December 6, 2011, 9:18 AM Hey everyone,…when don’t I have a problem? Lol…, but this time it isn’t about me. About a month ago our neighbors cat Julep started coming over and my husband Steve brought her in to say HI! She is very loving, and likes to snuggle and be scratched. She especially likes me and wants to be close to me. I don’t mind it, but now whenever we go in or out she darts in and wants to stay inside all the time. I talked with her owner [Amos] and told him his cat has adopted us and wanted him to know if he couldn’t find her she was probably at our house. He just lives across the street. Small neighborhood, 7 houses only. He laughed and said thank you for letting him know, and said since he got a new dog [min pin] Julep doesn’t seem to like it very much, and she is afraid of the dog. He says he tries to put her inside at night. Well she was in our house tonight until about 11pm, and then we had to let her out, but I think Amos had already gone to bed. So my dilemma is its cold outside, in the low 20’s, and I feel so bad about making her go outside. She has pretty thick fur. But if she is use to staying in at night I don’t know how she will fair in these low temps. I would keep her in but I have no potty box, or food for her. I asked him about her potty habits and if she was boxed trained, and he said not quite. So I’m not sure if she would use a potty box if we got one, and I can’t have her going in my house. I don’t even think we should feed her, but I worry she might not be eating if that dog is around. He didn’t seem to be too worried about her, and I don’t even know how old she is. She acts loved starved, and I am just besides myself with worry that she is hanging out here all the time now, and I feel awful when we have to put her out. If she was potty trained properly I wouldn’t mind keeping her if he isn’t going to take care of her.I just don’t know what to do. He’s a pretty nice guy, but he works early morning til about 4 pm, and when my hubby gets home she is here wanting in. It’s like she just won’t go TO HER home now. I’m pretty sure she’ll be okay if it wasn’t so cold, but while the temps are low I sure don’t want her to get sick. I know I need to talk to Amos again, but he just acted like it was no big deal when I tried before. So what are your thoughts?Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
