I saw a matted mass just like that back when I worked at the vet years ago. We had to shear the cat like a sheep and it all came off in one piece. Poor thing could barely move beforehand. I kept the fur for quite a while after that til my boyfriend got too creeped out by it. I'm like "dude, it's just fur", although it was still rather cat-shaped.

OMG God bless you for taking her in. She's one lucky cat!

[Queen of Poop]

OMG that poor baby. What a horrible time she has had. So glad she was delivered to you, now she can live out her senior years loved and well taken care of. Thank you so much!

I'm glad she's doing so well and is such a good girl when it comes to pill time.

Hi Jen, it's great to hear from you again! Bless you for giving Taboo the loving, caring life she so rightly deserves. She is a beauty! Could I ask you to give her some chin scritchies for me?

Hi Taboo,
I'm very happy to meet you. You never have to be afraid ever again, you're a PT kitty now and believe me it doesn't get any better than that. You'll soon see that we PT kitties get only the very best of everything and the love from our purrents never ends. You're safe now and will be very well cared for. You couldn't have a better Meowmie but I think you know that already.
I hope you feel better very soon. Settle in to your furever home. As soon as you get your cell phone be sure to let your fellow kitties know. We would love for you to join us on a Catmobile trip when you're all better!

Yout friend,
Groucho

She looks so much better now. I know she's got to feel much better too.
Good job Taboo.

Oh, God bless you, Jen and Taboo both. Thank you so much, Jen, for giving her the wonderful home she deserved so much and she needed so badly.

Dear Taboo.. Happy days are here again!

Hi, Taboo! You look better! I'm glad you are doing so well! *kiss* for you

P.S., Cassie said you should sit with her and the other senior kittyzens on the Catmobile

Awww! Look at her!! What a girl!! She is filling out and that fur is growing back and she'll be a real knock out before you know it. Are you able to start brushing her with a soft brush now to get her use to being brushed again? Ohhh! I'd offer to come brush her if you weren't so far away. I love brushing mine and so do they.

It is GREAT one on one time for mine and I talk to mine the whole time I am brushing them.

Oh Jen- what a story! I loved all your stories about your gang and I am glad there is a new one to tell- you are such a good writer.
But I am so very sorry for poor Taboo- I just cannot believe how people can neglect a living being that much. But I know that when my friend Angie stole her Persian boy Kaiser from his former owner (another story...) he looked just nearly as bad and he got a summer shaving ever after.
I am glad Taboo's owner and you could help her and I hope she has a long and happy life.

Poor kitty. I'm so glad that the man got her back and then brought her to you. Now she's going to live the rest of her life in a wonderful caring loving home. Welcome home Taboo!!!

[Sonia59]

What a story! Poor girl. How these people could do this to such a sweet old lady But I am glad she is with you now. She will live quietly, well cared and loved

Morning update.

She eats! that's good. She's understandably upset and growling. She peed on the bedding and not in the box provided (now that worries me)

She'll settle.

[Medusa]

Oh the poor, sweet baby! How cruel people can be! They can also be wonderfully kind, though, as you have been for lucky little Taboo, lucky b/c she's in your hands now. The expression on her face is priceless, though, Jen. How adorable. I can't wait to see her after she's settled in and her fur grows back and is well groomed. Kudos to you, Jen, and lots of lovin' for that sweet ol' gal.

She's understandably upset and growling. She peed on the bedding and not in the box provided (now that worries me) :eek.

In my opinion she is in a shock because all what happened to hear yesterday...! It must have been traumatic for her when you removed all that bad fur.... . But don't worry, she will get over it! And then she will be the most sweet and loving lady

Aw Jen, it is such a great thing you are doing for her, thank you so much
