my funny cat

OK. On superbowl Sunday while my family was watching football, I went to the Tracy CA Animal Shelter and brought home the saddest cat you've ever seen. She'd been in jail 10 days and her human had gone to a nursing home & was never coming back.
She only moved her chin for about 10 days. The she started to come to life slowly. With her background, she is a lap cat and as a hyper person, I have no lap - so we have had to work on a compromise there and she now comes near me, lets me pet her, lays down by my feet and does her yoga, and if I'm a really good girl, she goes to her scratching post to reward me.
She didn't know how to play but now she will play a short time with a jute string. I love this cat. I keep telling her, "I choose you. I love you." Joe told me to take her back and get a friendly cat, but I love her and she's staying.

I think she'll come around, Charlotte. Like people who've gone through a lot, it just takes a little time.
We've got three of the familiars around who haunt the place.  I like 'em.

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Charlotte, a lite touch and much kindness and patience and the cat will come around. Make sure the cat knows "who butters the toast"

Charlotte,
I just loved that story! My friend is planning to get a cat from a shelter, too. 
My landlady's cat was scared of some noises; vacuum cleaner, popcorn, breakfast cereal... they drove him to frenzy. But what a lovely cat he is...

She will be fine, just give her some time. It is amazing how animals sense a change. We have a shelter in New Rochelle and I go on their web site to see who is available each week. I am fairly close to convincing my wife that we need a dog.

Charlotte,
Thankyou for adopting one of lifes orphan kitties. It seems that they get thrown away. Imagine the happiness you would show her master if she knew her furry friend was taken care of by a loving cat person such as you... You did Gods work by adopting that friend love ree

Unless she's a downrite mean people hateing cat takeing her back would BREAK her heart and spirit worse.........she'll come around.......try treats too. Give her a big reason to LOVE you other then saveing her. Little cat treats you can buy are good or little pieces of chicken or sumthin. A reason to LIVE Pam
So glad you did that.......then there is me that is a total cat lover and I have all these mean ferile porch cats......they HATE people yet born and raised here. Those are the ones ya sumtimes can NOT turn around.

well, she almost has me trained. When she scratches her post and walks away, that is my signal that I may grab my string & play with her for a minute.
Anytime she is at the scratching post or food bowl, I may pet, kiss, bug her any way I wish. When she goes in her cubicle it means I do not touch.
She nibbles all day but doesn't eat much at a time. She doesn't seem to like any treats or even wet food, which severely disappointed Joe.
I was a good girl today and she used her scratching post twice, and hung out at my feet 3 times.

We humans are trainable Our cat walks over to ya and flops on the floor and that is the cue to give her a good hard scratch and a spank on the behind.
She also jumps up on the couch at night with her back to ya and her ears going backward so you can start to mess with her and she can air snap at your hand and meow. We call that game snapping Kittie.

Ree,
I had a fetch cat once.....she would play with her key chain rabbits foot and bring it back three times. Anything more than that was undignified.
I am very happy your buddy has returned
