Dear Patti, How wonderful! Just because they don't sit on our lap doesn't mean they don't completely capture our hearts! I hope Charity is home to stay; she knows a good thing!

Re: Charity is back in area!!!!!!
Ebony Thomas Katt snarled and hissed at me the first year or so of the time we spent together. He was 3 + years and totally feral. blood and pus from the wounds he had ran down my legs (at first he was so weak I could touch him.) I got him fixed up then tried to get him to leave (I didn't like cats at all). Sixteen years later he diedin my arms on New Year's Eve.He had moved in with me, we moved to a new house together, he tolerated some pretty long absences (even though he had food and water provided daily, he didn't like itand let me know when I got home), irregular working hours and the addition of dogs to the house. Understand that Charity is a very independent cat who will take over your life. And will enrich it beyond belief. You have to let her do this in her way. Ebony went from very feral to being a house cat (although he had access to a 6 foot wide, 6 foot tall (and covered), 12 wide kennel any time he wanted it. He went through a pet door in a window, into duct work, onto a platformand down a ramp--if he didn't sleep in the duct work or on the platform). DO NOT push her or you may loose her. Treasure her and give her the independence she demands. You will be so glad you did.
