Hello, Pet Talkers:
(PS - sorry for the large photos - I have spent 10 minutes on Photobucket resizing them OVER and OVER again - no luck! HELP!)
I have been posting here for a little while, but am quite new. I realized recently that I just kind of barged in. I have been a COTD visitor for over a year, and when I really started checking Pet Talk(CAT), I just got really interested and started posting!
It was rather thoughtless of me, just crashing a community, though that wasn't my intention.
So here is a belated and, hopefully, more graceful intro.
I live in Alberta, Canada, and am owned by two wonderful fur babies. Both are rescues through a boarding kennel at which I work. The kennel was designed for cats only - and has cat-size rooms made of arborite and glass, from which no cat can see another(soothing for some!).
Anyway, Oscar was named that by one of the owners because he was "Wild". When he got tame enough, Ted bundled him off to the vet for shots, deworming and to be "neuticled"(his term :D ). I was working only part time then - and had not had a cat in years - so Ted and his wife gave me Oscar for Christmas!
His first night home, he was a bit scared - but knew enough to wake me at 5 am when his food dish was empty!
The vet figured he was 2 1/2, no more than three - and I figure after spending two winters here as a scared wild baby, he deserves every bit of spoiling he can get!
Cole Porter is my fluffy black boy, a friendly cat who must have been dumped. Ted and Holly's one daughter put posters all over the countryside about the found cat, I called the humane society(we have a great one here) - but no luck. (AWWWWW! :) ) SO - Cole went to the vet, then came home - and a week later, he and Oscar were doing the thundering-herd-of-elephants-down-the-hall routine.
This was great, as Oscar had a friend...and since Oscar tended to inhale his food from being wild, the running and playing trimmed him up some!
I am a former road musician, now working at the kennel and at a magazine office in the afternoons.
So - HI everyone!
Candace
