A BIG tuxedo cat was found dumped outside the Old Saybrook Animal Control. He was crammed into a carrier way too small for him.

My friend posted a video of this love muffin. He just wants to be loved. My friend Betty offered to keep him in her garage until he can be fully vetted. Then he'll be coming to my house. I'm giving another rescue a furrever home for Christmas, like I did Murphy. I'm hoping the crew will welcome him. He'll be isolated in my room till he gets acclamated.

I'll post pictures once I get him.

Watch the video they've attached to the petfinder piece about this beautiful boy! He's a marshmallow. I just left a message with animal control. Hopefully they'll call me back. Then he can come home with me!!

What a love muffin

**Catty1** · 11-25-2010, 11:31 AM

Beautiful, loving boy! He will sure appreciate being in your home.

Yes, he is a bit 'fluffy', but once your furkids get used to him, he might get some exercise - maybe from Buddy?

Catty1,

I was thinking in the line of Austin!! He's the wild one of the house now. Buddy has mellowed alot.

**Taz_Zoee** · 11-25-2010, 01:25 PM

OH Donna, he is beautiful! I know I say it ALL the time, but I just love big kitties! He looks a lot like the large kitty at ARF right now, named Pierre. Except Pierre is MUCH bigger than "Xavier".
I'm so glad you can bring him home and give him the love he obviously is craving.

I got some not so good news yesterday. No, Jake is fine and is still coming to live with me.

My cousin's mother-in-law's cat is being returned after living with a man and his son for 2 years!!! Why??? The kid's allergic.

I am furious right now!! The guy, from what I've been told, is very controlling and didn't like the fact that Skyler was overweight. I guess she wasn't losing weight fast enough. UGH!!!

My friend Nancy is going to take her, since she doesn't get along with other cats. I've talked to my best friend Susie, who took my Dad's cat many years ago. I told her that Skylar is declawed and just needs a nice quiet home with love and food. She's thinking about it. At least she didn't say no. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. The @-hole is dropping her off at Nancy's on Saturday. I hope Susie says yes.

Unfortunately, there is no way I can take her because of her hate for other cats.

Really looking forward to bringing Jake home!!

Oh great, Donna. What a pitiful excuse for a good cat to lose a home. After living with Skylar for two years, NOW he finds out that his son is allergic?! After hearing this, i'm

, too!

Just wanted to see how things are going with Jake. Hope all is well!

**moosmom** · 12-10-2010, 05:10 AM

He's settled down alot! His favorite place is on an old feather pillow coverered with his favorite throw rug in front of the radiator. Until tonight, that is. I've had the baby gates up in the doorway to my bedroom while I'm home to supervise. No hissing or growling at all. Just curiosity on all parts.

He loves Wilderness Blue. To gradually get him used to it, I put his crappy food on top with the rest Blue. He took all the crappy food off the top and ate the Blue, which is a good thing.

I think he's going to like it here.

**moosmom** · 12-14-2010, 08:57 PM

Okay, it's official. His name is SPIKE!! For real.

The baby gates are down!!!! I will be closing him in my bedroom with me at night for a couple of weeks. This will prevent any outbursts in the middle of the night. But I guess my cats are so used to me bringing in newbies, that they're like, "Okay, another one. Zzzzzzzzzzzz."

There is little, if any, hissing. This transition is going so much easier than I expected!!!
