I just had to show you what this little guy who stole our hearts looks like. I think the last pic was too big so I hope this one will come out okay. I loved the pic of the 2 tuxs in the box. My husband and I are just nuts for cats. Notice Dudley's huge tail. It's fabulous. He's fabulous. They look real grumpy in these pics because they wanted food not photography. I used stills from my DV camera so I could get the pics up quickly so sorry for the quality.
Yeah we worry about the other cat in the cold garage too - I'm going to work up the courage to speak to the lady but I don't think she's going to want to give them up as she sees it as temporary until she buys her own house. My brother lost his/our cat at age 17 to cancer just before Xmas and I was thinking Scooby could be a perfect replacement but he has chosen us after all and cats hate moving so I wouldn't do that to him.
Scooby came with the other cat from a shelter where they were to be homed together. Apparently when Scooby is not around the other cat Scully stops hiding and is more cuddly but with him around he stole centre stage and whipped her butt. One of the reasons I let Scooby in was to give his sister a bit of spot light time remembering how miserable life for our late Penelope was with Dudley attacking her if she stepped out of the kitchen. We tried everything, even wasted money on a cat psychologist and the situation got so desperate we had decided they'd have happier lives living apart but we couldn't bear to decide which one to rehome. And now these two guys get on fine with the odd territorial spat. Dudley got worse with Penelope as time went by so we make it clear in tiny ways to both cats that Dudley is number one (psychologist said it's natural to have an order in the cat world) and I don't want to take full ownership until I feel happy Dudley won't terrorise Scoobs until he stays away of his own accord in any case.
We do feel honoured to be chosen by him altho he does the rounds with anyone who'll let him in - he's a real lap cat and does what you tell him to almost like a dog. I swear he understands English. He uses the scratching posts too.
Lots of love to all you cat lovers.
