Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

Until one has loved an animal, part of their soul remains unawakened.
He was put into a porto-prison today and taken to the whitecoats. Had his ears cleaned and his nails trimmed. Was told he is a pedigree Lilac Point Siamese.
Never again shall I
- go to the bathroom alone
- sleep in - this morning I received a 5am wake up call
- have my lazy boy all to myself
Was thinking of renaming his "Yodi Get Down" but didn't want to steal someone else's thunder.
Right now we are in the middle of a heat wave (well, hot to us.....75-80 F) so both of our appetites are not very good. Have cut his meds in half (as per vet instructions) and his appetite has come back somewhat. Was told that Tapazole can cause anorexia...... Gee, maybe I should take some....
He's not a lap cat at all. Doesn't like to really snuggle like I do, doesn't take well to grooming, but he will sit next to me and make sure some part of him is touching me. Definitely he's not the cat I was wanting or looking for....but I'm the human he needs right now and I won't let him down nor abandon him. I love and accept him the way he is. After all, we all can't be purrfect.....![]()

Oh my goodness, a pedigree Lilac Point meezer. How gorgeous!
Slick, Cassie is not a lap kitty either. (except when I grab her and try to settle her in my lap for a moment) All these years I"ve tried to get her to be one, and it isn't happening. But very often she will sit against me for a loooooong time. Mostly when I am sitting still - such as writing out bills, reading or using the computer. If I move even a millimeter, she moves with me. So she's a snuggle-bug in her own way. I hope that Yodi will decide your lap is THE place to be! He's beautiful and I am so happy for him because he is with you![]()
p.s., He's learned the rule about never letting oneself be on the "wrong" side of a closed bathroom door.![]()

Looks like Yodi has made himself right at home, thank you very much!![]()
I've been finally defrosted by cassiesmom!

Yodi really is a very handsome boy.I'm glad to see how comfortable he looks at home with you now.
Given his past of being abandoned by his original owner & being returned from another adoption, it might
take a while for him to show the complete affection of a lap cat. So many times I wish animals could talk.![]()

This is wonderful news.Yes, not all cats will be lap cats. My RB Storm, Sky,and Ziggy have never been. They do like to be near you though. I hope that you'll have many more wonderful years with your handsome Yodi.

"Oh, hello! Did you want to sit here? Well, I am already here. you have permission to adore me!"Hello, Yodi, beautiful boy!
Slick, does Yodi meow to you? One of the many things I've learned from PT is that meesers can be chatty kitties.

I just read the entire thread... don't know why I didn't see it before. Good for you for taking in Yodee. What a lucky cat she is to have you to give her a home, care, and love in her old age. She's very pretty!
Glad he's home and settling in. Perhaps, given time he will become more affectionate. Neither of my kitties are lap cats, something I appreciate on hot days! But when they want lovies they know where to go and they tolerate me lavishing hugs and smooches on them now and again. Oh, and the 5 am wake up call - consider yourself lucky, Cali's comes between 3-4 am!!! And she's relentless - you will get up NOW and get me wet food!!!
