In a few hours I leave with Baker and go to the specialist. I am told they are very kind and very thorough so will update when I can. We are having a helluva storm right now and cable is in and out.
The three new cats I was able to spend some time with them early this morning and they break my heart. When you go toward them they flinch, when you reach to pet them, they draw away. This is not a feral tendency this is an indication that have been beaten (and often). I spent a lot of time lying on the floor and rubbing chins and ears to just reassure them that no one will ever hurt them again. I haven’t been able to get near the long-hair and suspect she is a girl because of how she acts. She has scars on her face and I am not sure what they are from. She is very shy and the touchiest of the group. Someone cried all night upstairs but when I am in the room they are strangely quiet. I can’t let them out into the whole upstairs area until after Friday when Scotty gets neutered. Then I can let Scotty, Reese and Promise into general population and let the new group roam the upstairs. It’s just so sad- who would beat on a cat?
who would beat on a cat?
No one WE want to have anything to do with, that’s for sure.
purrrrrrrring that these noo kitties relax and start to cuddle sometime soon.
PS: Purrrrrrsss to Baker. We hope he handles the trip and the V*T-handling with style.
The only people who beat animals are cowards and bullies. Unfortunately, these people would also beat children and grown-up humans, if they think they can get away with it. They often can’t, so they turn on anyone or anything that isn’t able to defend itself. That’s why cruelty to animals shouldn’t be a concern only to ‘animal nuts’; a person who is cruel to a cat or dog or horse would be cruel to a person, if he thought he could do it with impunity.
