This dentist may know his patients, but he sure doesn't know cats!!!

Not sure my roommate would go for it. HE'S tried to get them to come in and they only go as far as the doorway.

Besides, with Pumpkin arriving sometime in the near future, it'd be a little crowded and I'm sure, overwhelming for my cats.

Donna i completely understand about the cats not coming inside, once they are used to outdoors only it is very difficult and probably would really upset the cats and stress them majorly, I think you are doing the best you can for them and sometimes one can only do so much.

Gosh it is not even law here to vaccinate your cats, mind you we don't have rabies, so maybe that is why.

I know how difficult it can be in situations like this, having one similar going on with me as you know, one has to tread carefully for the sake of the cats,i know in NZ you can be prosecuted for leaving an animal to suffer,maybe they will see it that way with this kitty who knows.

I wish you all the best in your efforts and feel your fustration,you are limited to how much you can do. HUGS.

I went outside last night with a can of treats and shook them. BOTH of them came running. I put down 2 piles, one for each. Little did Fluffy know, I had a pair of scissors in my hands. While she chowed down, I snipped away. I got MOST of the hanging loose mats off of her (I could've created half a cat with what I clipped off). Her sores are healing okay. I'll just snip off the mats as they loosen up.

Sherrie, the paralegal downstairs from my apartment said that they BOTH came running over to her when she drove up this morning. She asked me if I gave Fluffy a haircut and I admitted that I did. She said she looks SO much better and is even more friendly than she was. I asked her if I could get sued by that jerk of a dentist if I took Fluffy and had her shaved and she said yes. Oh well. So much for THAT idea!

There's been ALOT of commotion in their "shelter" garage. The dumbass dentist is having his building renovated and the workers are storing their crap on the other side of the 2 car garage that serves as the cats home. Now they won't go near it. When I was sitting outside and the workers were putting their stuff away, BOTH cats came running over to me and sat between my legs, knowing I'd protect them. I'm so attached to them. The cats, not the workers.
