Welcome to PT!!! All 3 of your cats are gorgeous and thanks for telling us Psycho's story. I'm so glad that she's now accepted you as her family.

All of my cats are also from rescue groups. Storm and Sky were from the Humane Society, Sunny and Starr were from rescue groups and were fostered in a home. Pearl and Ziggy Stardust were found dumped in a park with feral cats and were fostered by another PT'er,K & L, and I fell in love with them so I had to adopt them.

Welcome to this neck of the woods! What an amazing story about Psycho; see what love and patience will do? She is blessed that you did not give up on her, no matter how bad it was.

Love all your pictures. Keep up the good work. Those guys are lucky to have you!

Hi Nicole,
Welcome to the forum, it is a great place with lots of fun and pictures and stories about the wonderful companions we all have.

Hi Nicole, WELCOME! This is a great place, with lots of people who are just nuts about their pets, ha ha. Peace certainly looks full sized; if she is 6 to 8 months old, she could maybe get even a little larger, whoa!

I have had a total of 9 cats. Eight were either foundlings or shelter kitties. One came to me from a lady with 2 cats moving into senior housing; they only permitted one cat. As her kitty was 12, she could not find anyone willing to take on an older cat. I have seven currently. My cats range in age from 1 year old to 15 (the one from the senior lady). They are an active, spoiled, demanding bunch!

A BIG FOUND Cat welcome to the Terrific Trio.

Its just that Canada is such a big country,oh well we can dream.

Dear Nicole, welcome to the Cats section of Pet Talk! This is a wonderful group of people from all over whose lives are ruled by cats. I have five cats, and all of them are rescues too. I work at a cat shelter and pet-sit sometimes.

Your story of Psycho is amazing. I had a cat like that, Mitsie, and like you I gave him a home so he wouldn't be euthanized. I was absolutely fascinated to read the process by which you socialized Psycho. I wish I had known of it. I didn't have any ideas on how to retrain Mitsie. I just gave him the space to be however he felt like being and plenty of food and warmth and love. He never did become resocialized, but he did calm down somewhat over the years. I had him for about 8 years, and he got quite old. He finally passed away last year from kidney disease complications. Toward the end I was able to hold him and pet him. I told him often how much I loved him.

All the best! Looking forward to learning more about you and your family,

Pat, and Peony, Sydney, Priscilla, Poppy, and Elmer

The name Psycho is OK. I know of a cat named Ernie the Assassin.
