new lady :-)

Look what I found growing in the garden! Kim saw her early in the day but as soon as she saw him she was gone Later that evening he called me out to see her hiding n the garden. I walked slowly across the yard, stopping every so often to talk to her.. got about 20 ft away and it looked like she was about to bolt on me, so I stopped, sat on the ground and just talked to her.. well she decided to come over and curl up in my lap So what's a girl to do.. I slowly picked her up and walk over to the new trailer we are working on, she didn't try to get away just snuggled.. so in the trailer she went ( Oh mite I add she was skin and bones) So I gave her food and water, she was also very dehydrated.. that cat ate like there was no tomorrow.. she ate the whole bowl and drank the water bowl dry as well.. so I gave her more water but not more food till morning. She was so happy to see me and of coarse she was very happy to see I brought more food
I took her to the vet first thing Friday morning and had him check for a micro chip.. nothing, so I had him run the full battery of test on her ( Ouch in the purse) but she is very healthy.. FIV & FIP Neg, no flea's, no ticks, no ear mites, and she has been spayed. Best guess is she is about 2 or 3 yrs old.. so I think she might have just got out ,, so I'm on a mission to find her home. I hope they are looking for her and didn't just drop her off. She is very sweet and loving... but right now she is food aggressive with the other cats.. so she is in a separate area till I find her people.. I think she was just so hungry for so long that she runs to the bowel and lays across it and growls when one of the other girls go near her cage area.. When I first picked her up and was walking with her, I thought it was strange that she didn't once use her claws,, so of coarse as I walked I became more and more convinced that she had been declawed! I was so worked up over the fact that she was out and declawed.. really ready to go hunt them down and snip off the ends of their fingers..but she has her claw's, just doesn't use them on people that much I know.
Not sure I got the right picture up but will see once it's posted I guess.

I hope you find her people, and if you do, that they are looking for her. If not, maybe she was meant to find you. Sounds like she was getting close to really needing help.

We joke sometimes that if Sug & I died, these cats wouldn't last a week on their own. They are quite the mighty hunters chattering at birds through the window, but actually catching, killing and eating one are another story. Probably what happened to your girl, a lost house cat, as she's fixed.

I'll assume lost and not "Dropped off at a farm in the country" by someone that can't take care of her anymore. That, really pisses me off, as it's probably the cruelest death of all. Maybe not so much in your area, but it in the desert it's death by exposure, dehydration and likely eaten alive by coyotes after they get run to exhaustion...

The pic didn't show up. If you would like, email it to me and I'll supersize it and attach it to your post...

I know I sent it to you too Dan but thought I would give it another go and see if I can put the picture up :-)
Kim & I spent the morning putting up "FOUND KITTY" posters all over the place.. tomorrow I will go to the Vet's offices and post pictures there as well.. just hope she finds a home soon. I know she is clean.. but she is very food aggressive right now still. She just eats everything I give her so had to cut back and just feed her more often . She growls and lays on the food bowel when another cat come up to the screening, but doesn't mind me touching it. She just loves on me and wants to be held and cuddled.. so I know she was loved... I opened the door for her to go out with the other girls but it was still too soon as she was running from room to room trying to keep the other cats from the food.. so she is now in the boy's cattery where Tarzan was before he was moved to where Bear was.. couldn't stand to see the empty cage.. so at least she can go in and out and will be fine till her new forever home comes along :-)
