Arrival Story:
Muffy was a feral cat hanging outside in our backyard. We saw him across the street one evening and also saw him eating food that we were leaving out at night. We trapped him and took him to the vet in Oct 2010. Our vet gave him "the works" - shots, neutering, Frontline, etc and he lived in our basement for a month. We trapped him again in our basement (no easy feat, he was scared and hissing) and took him back to the vet b/c they forgot to give him his distemper shot the first time he was there. This time we moved him to an upstairs bedroom where he stayed for another few months until we were able to gain his trust and pet him. It was interesting to watch him hide under the bed everytime it rained. Then we realized he probably thought he would get wet if he came out!
He loves to be touched and scratched. He stretches and purrs like mad. He has become very vocal and meows when it is time to eat. We were a little surprised to hear him meow and purr as we were told that sometimes feral cats will do neither. He has become quite a little love muffin in the last few months and seems to enjoy our company. The doc could not believe the change in him the last time we took him in to have his nails clipped. She didn't even have to sedate him, although she said he was a little bit scared.
He joined the rest of the family a few months ago and he is now just one of the gang. He is a sweet boy and gets along with everyone fine. The boys have accepted him into the "boy's club" and he plays and runs with Cindy Lou. Pearly tolerates him. He shows absolutely no interest in going outside. He seems very grateful to have found his forever home. It was a long, slow road from the hissing, petrified feral cat we took in in Oct 2010 to the fuzzy, sweet love muffin he is today. Would we do it again? Probably.

Whoa, my head is still spinning from all that happened today. First I had NO BREAKFAST. Then I was shoved (spitting, hissing and fussing) into a carrier. It took Mom and Dad 45 minutes to get me in the carrier. Dad said his heart was pounding out of his chest by the time they got me in.
Then I was taken to a weird smelling scary place (I smelled stinky dogs) where I had what Dad called "The Works". My toofies were cleaned, 3 were pulled and my nails were cut. I had my ears cleaned, got my rabies and distemper shots, and I got a "chip" in my neck. What the heck??? I am on pain meds and am pretty groggy. Maybe I'll forgive them someday. Right now, I gotta take a nap.

The other night Dad opened my door and I met everyone all at once. It wasn't much of a big deal actually. I just walked around and checked out the place. I sit on Mom now while she watches TV at night on the sofa. I am amazed at TV. It is so cool!! Once in awhile Pearly hisses at me but everyone around here says she hisses at everyone sometimes so not to get too worried about that.
The food is yummy and my litter box is clean and I've got a warm and toasty bed. Life is pretty good around here! I think I'll stay.

Mom and Dad have been opening my door at night to try and coax me out. I finally came out the other night and looked all around in amazement. I kept running back in my room and decided I had seen enough for one night. A few nights later, I decided to explore the other rooms upstairs. I can't help it, I'm nosey, I'm a cat. I am still a little nervous but I am getting braver each night.
I am really going to have to get my courage up when I meet the other kitties who live here. We haven't met yet but I know they're here. Mom and Dad hope I can join the family soon, but they are not rushing me. Baby steps for me. I am just glad to be warm and safe and dry and fed and loved. I love to be petted and scratched now. I purr like a love muffin when my Mom snuggles with me everyday.
