Well, I had to get up tonight to fix an insulin reaction. While I was up I checked and saw that George was in his makeshift bed we made for him a few nights ago, (he's been there every night since, even tho it was chilly only that one night) and while I was tanking up on carbs I decided to check out Pet Talk. Seeing these replies made me decide to at least make an attempt - I don't know where Shadow goes at night, but I'm going to bring George in and see how that goes.

Aly, I greatly appreciate your offers, and will let you know if I need assistance. The story on these two little guys is that my upstairs neighbors, who at the time was only a woman and her teenage daughter, decided to adopt two kittens. My radar immediately went up because I knew very little about these people at the time but what I did know is:[list=1][*]They already had to get rid of a dog when she soiled the carpet from being sick and neglected[*]They were obviously, well, what a lot of people would call....trailer trash[*]They were very self-centered, selfish, and clearly lacking even a modicum of intelligence[/list=a]
Since the kitties came, so has her son and a new boyfriend. Of course, the cats have never been neutered, so I'm sure they've also had no shots. Well, I don't know if someone was allergic or if they began spraying the house, but the cats began spending more and more time outside, until they were completely banished. They are outside when the folks upstairs are all gone for days at a time, they are outside in all kinds of weather, and they are outside during mating season, I'm sure making babies.

Well, I'm going to get George, and I'll keep everyone posted.....
