Bugatti Fan Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 1/12th scale Tigers! And I am not referring to the tank! We lost our old cat Cookie a number of years back. My son is moving out of his house soon (Somehow, I feel another cat coming on!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I adopted him from a local rescue. I can't even imagine the circumstances that would force someone to give him up. He's the most ginger ginger cat in the world, and spends most of his time up in my business. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugatti Fan Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) Rescue cats can make lovely companions once they bond.I Some of the poor things have suffered neglect and some from cruelty from previous owners. Those cats tend to be shy and wary, but can be very rewarding once they have gained your trust. Other rescue cats have been well looked after but have to be given up due to unfortunate circumstances like a bereavement, or someone having to move away and not being able to take the cat with them. They are the ones more likely to come to you in the rescue centre and the mistreated ones tend to look at you warily from the back of the compound. They do have a mind of their own though, and their temperament is very different to a dog that has a pack animal instinct. This goes to support the old saying that 'Dogs have masters, and cats have servants'! Edited January 20, 2022 by Bugatti Fan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972coronet Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 One form of non-verbal communication we can employ with felines is eye blinking. Even the timid kitties will greet you if you slowly blink at them when they're looking at you. I was visiting the kitties at the local shelter some years ago on one of my days off from work. I was stressed out, so I figured "Why not go visit with the shelter kitties?" There was a young mum with four tykes in one of the compartments. She was on the defence right off, hissing and growling -- protecting her babies. I stood back, started blinking at her, and talking to her calmly. She eventually chilled out, so I approached her compartment. I said, "You have some lovely babies there, sweetheart. You're a good mum for defending your 'den'. May I present my hand to you?" She stood-up, and sniffed my hand. Then she marqued the tips of my fingers with her cheeks, and then started purring. The staff were amazed that I was able to quell a defensive feral mum ! It felt so wonderful to not only relieve my stress, but to also bring some relief to a frightened mum and her young babies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low maintenance…. clean… You one of them cat burglars? 😼 I moved this piano from the back of the room, to the front room to take pictures, so I can get rid of it. The cats never had an interest in it, but of course now it's an easy and sunny location. Fuzz Therapy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
