Nicole,

Welcome to PT. This is an awsome place to be. I have learned that there are so many good hearted animal lovers out there. I hope you enjoy it here.

I love your pets. They are so cute. Your cat Peace, is so handsome. I just love white cats!

Again, welcome.

krazyaboutkatz - Thanks. That is so wonderful that you have rescued so many. I admire the people that adopt animals form shelters and rescues. They are the last and most important link in the rescue chain in my book.

orangemm - Thanks. Psychos was a hard case but she turned around nicely once she was re socialize, had behaviour modifaction and some training.

CultureJunky - Thanks. No Peace can hear perfectly. I tested his hearing th every first day to make sure.

trayi52 - Thank you so much

Freedom - When we found Peace at teh beginning of September he was just starting to lose his teeth. So the vet figured his age at about 5-6 months old. He was small when he first arrived but good food has helped him to grow fast. lol. 9 cats!!!! WOW. I ahve never had that many except when I was fostering mommies with kittens.

Maya & Inka's mommy - Thanks. Since my home was litterally a last resort and her aggression was so bad I had to take the most extreme messures. She was put in my spare room with a bowl of water and a litter box. For two days she was alone in there to settle down. But no food at all. I know some will look at me badly for that but in her case food was the only way we could change her beahaviour. After 2 days I would go in to her room several times a day with a food dish of various foods. Took her another whole day to come and eat out of my lap. But the only way she could eat was to eat out of my lap. For a week I would no touch her. Just let her eat. She would growl and eat at the same time. The whole time. By the end of the week though the growling had gotten to just being periodic. Then for a week when she would start to eat I would just barely touch her back for a few seconds. The first time she flipped out. She went at my face and just freaked. Luckily I only ended up with a few good scraches. But after a few days she would just scream at me. By the end of the week she would growl loudly when i touched her back. AS the weeks went by I slowly increased the amount of touching. After about 6 months there was no more growling and she actually would arch her back to be touched. She would also great me at teh door and once in a while she would actually purr. That is when I started letting her out of the room for supervised time with the other animals. It was a very long journey for her. But she is such a lovable cat now that it was well worth it. ANd hse has the loudest motor of all the cats. lol

catmandu - Thanks. I would love to meet some of you some day but as you said Canada is a big country.

AbbyMom - Thanks. She always had it in her to be a great cat. She just had to learn to trust people.

Reachoutrescue - Thanks. I am addicted to white animals as you can see from Peace and Sheena. lol
