My Buddy was a street cat, skittish and scared (though probaby not feral) and he ended up being the sweetest cat I've ever had, and that was before we had his pom poms removed. He was 15 pounds of pure muscle and had the neatest cheek pouches that the vet said he had because he was an adult tom cat when we rescued him. He got a little pudgy after the neutering though. He was my FIV+ boy. It's been almost four and a half years since he crossed the Bridge and I still grieve for his gentle soul. I always will. Some street cats make the BEST house cats. You just never know. :) Gina Nina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Aww, so wonderful to hear about Nilla Belle, (pardon me Nilla for calling you a "he" :-) ). I love the success stories!
Ya know Wendy, so many of these street tough thugs turn into the sweetest couch potatoes once they are relieved of those bothersome pom poms. He may not be as nasty as he appears. Do you remember my FIV boy, Starman? He bit me so hard at first that it would not only puncture my skin, but left bruises around the bite site. He is now the fattest, happiest, most content lap cat you could imagine, (I'll send you a picture off list). His girlfriend is our tiny Pistol, she's all of 7lbs soaking wet and Star is pushing 20lb. She wanted nothing to do with him and his burly ways when he came to live with us, but he wore her down with his persistent and patient adoration and now they sleep and play together. He follows her around like some underpaid bodyguard, it's so cute. So, you never know what personality lurks under all that testosterone, fear and self preservation.
