Try putting Feliway spray on your hands when you are sneaking a petting.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of compassion
and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their
fellow man.

I forgot to mention, I have a cat that raised in a birdcage, like a bird.
He came from another "hoarding" situation (pseudo rescue person), but he was
only from 60 to 70+ cats.....
I got Runes when he was about 12 weeks old, very malnourished and he had what
my vet called the worst case of ringworm that he had ever seen, in 40+ yrs.
THAT'S a lot of ringworm.
Anyway, Runes is still a bit "skitty" after all of this time, but when he is
eating, you can sneak up on him and stroke his back.
He will then "chirp" like bird........... :)
Think that there is a connection........?

There is a wonderful tape of birds, squirrels, etc that Ebony and Mitu
loved. They had a stool in front of the TV in the bedroom and frequently I got
requests in the middle of the night for a private viewing. Ebony would sit on
the stool just waiting, knowing I would put it on for him and his little
girlfriend. I need to try that with Dixie but she enjoys the sunroom and lots
of wildlife there. I saw no mention of old orange juice in shallow pans (birds
and butterflies). Milk weed is a wonderful plant for attracting Monarch
butterflies (don't know if it grows in Texas or not but the Monarchs sure could
use some help).
What is a disappearing fountain?
