What an awesome couple! Love this story! It's awesome this once lost kitty now has the opportunity to live out his time w/ those that will provide love, food and medical care for him!

Narley has refused to eat or drink and he's peeing on the seats in the truck. At this point, who's to say if it's behavioral or medical? The streets that he came from were mean streets, to be sure, but it's what he knew. Now he's in new territory w/all new cats and new people, so it could be that he's just plain scared. Can you spare a prayer for this boy that it isn't a medical issue after all he's been through and that things will settle down for him and his wonderful new family?

Yes, I'll say a prayer for Narley tonight. I agree that he can be afraid. It usually takes time to adjust (three or more weeks) for each new move. We took in our girl kitty some years ago and she was extremely hostile for sometime but as we patiently kept showing her that we loved her she got better. She had been lost in the woods, then stayed in someone's garage for some time, then in a rescue shelter, all before we got her. We've had her over five years now. She is most content and we are happy to have her as part of our family.

Here is the email:

Narley used the litter box twice yesterday to pee. We're having to put him at the entrance to the box, but he is now going inside without freaking out. He also pooped today, but so far no pee. We'll try again later. He's still REALLY freaky when we try to pick him up. He hisses, growls, slaps, etc., but we're working on that! :-) He's moving around the truck now, and has found the "upper level", which is where he is now...asleep in one of the travel crates. He's eating...not like we'd like to see, but each day is a little better. We figure it is just going to take his tummy a while to adjust. Also, we're BIG "hands on" people, so he's obviously not used to that either, but as time goes on, he will be, we're sure.

P.S. We're now calling him Frank Narley...since he has those cute blue eyes, and so did Frank Sinatra! <grin>
