Arrival Story:
About a year ago this little Siamese guy starting showing up on my back porch looking for food. I fed him and he's been coming back ever since. I vaguely remember seeing him in the yard of someone who used to live at the end of our street. They have moved and left this poor kitty to fend for himself. Why people do this is beyond me. They are totally out-of-it sick. Anyway, I gave him the name of Ying-Yang as it popped right into my head as an oriental name. He's street-wise and has not been neutered so I can't let him in the house. My boy Sampy and Ying-Yang have got into it before last summer and that's a good enough reason. Also, he's skittish (I can't blame him one bit). He will sit on the back porch and meow and he'll let me feed him> He also stays there when I sit on the porch and watch him eat.
Bio:
I wish I could help this kitty more than I have by giving him shelter too. I'm afraid to pick him up right now. I'm also afraid that he may have something wrong with his health because of his being a stray. He is a very beautiful kitty as seen in the four pictures I have taken. He wasn't afraid of the camera and let me take these pics of him. That says he was once domesticated. Somewhere in that beautiful kitty there is a tame side wanting to be reached. Could I be the one to further tame him and bring him to the vet to have him checked out and neutered? I estimate Ying-Yang to be about 3-4 years old. I don't think he's much older than that. I've seen his teeth when he meows and they are still nice and white. He is now part of the family in some aspects. He gets his meals here and sometimes he sleeps on the back porch.
FURTHER UPDATES: Yingy is now a permanent member of our family. He's been neutered and is going through the transitional period that comes after a neuter.
ALSO: He got his first Diary Pick on 9/15/07. After that he got DDP on: 11/9/07; 12/12/07; 2/22/08; 2/28/08; and 3/12/08. Way to go, Yingy!
FURTHER UPDATE: On September 23, 2007 I had to return Yingy to his outdoor life as he and Bailey Gray Cloud got into a terrible fight which rendered Bail having to go to the vet for treatment of a bite wound above his left leg. It was very painful and swollen with pus. Bail was put on antibiotics and has recovered fully. Now, I have been making calls for someone to help Yingy get a permanent home. He'll be a wonderful cat for a family who doesn't have other cats and can give him lots of TLC and full time and devotion.
FURTHER UPDATE: As of January 5, 2008, Yingy is back in the house and we are taking it slow this time around. Yingy will become gradually introduced to the others. Presently, I want him to get more used to being in the house before the introductions begin. Right now, he has pretty well bonded with me. He's a very gentle and affectionate cat when I touch him. He LOVES belly rubs. None of my other cats like belly rubs. He's still a little skittish if I make a sudden movement. He's now starting to stay on the bed when I come in the master bedroom instead of running under the bed. Yingy has great potential so far. I surely hope he can learn to get along with the others in time.

It's been exactly one year today that I turned Yingy over to his new Mommy.
I still believe my decision to do this was in the best interest to all involved, including Yingy, himself.
He needed more TLC and one-on-one with a new Mommy who didn't have other cats for him to compete with. I know he was an alpha cat and so are Bail and Merl. That's why it didn't work.
I pray that the past year with his new Mommy is still going great, and that he'll never have to roam the streets again looking for his next meal and someone to love him.
That's about it except I've found another pic in my computer which I'll be loading up this weekend.
Yingy's Former Mommy

The other day, I was looking under the bed for a ring that I had lost. I didn't find it. Instead I found tons of mousies, balls, and feathers. Amongst the stash of toys apparently left there by Yingy when he had this room, I found a folded over sheet of paper. Scrawled on it in cat lingo was a poem apparently written by him:
THANK YOU MOMMY
I'm beginning to see a newness in me
It comes from inside and it doesn't want to hide
I feel if I dare
I could go somewhere
With my life I say
And I'll start today.
I cried when I read it. Yingy was grateful for my rehabilitating him and was afraid to show me the note.
I know he came a long way from the streets and I did rehabilitate him as much as I could. Sometimes I feel badly for my losing patience with him because of the fights, and other times I'm glad that I turned him over to a more loving and patient, younger woman who had no other cats.
All in all, it worked out for the best. I saved him from the elements and the street life, and had him neutered. I paved the way for him to continue his journey with his new Mommy toward receiving more TLC and attention.
Anyway, I thought I would share the poem with everybody/everycat. This can apply to any stray who is getting rehabilitated or even a human being who has had a rough start in life.
Yingy's Former Mommy

I wish Yingy a very merry Christmas with his new Mommy. This will be his "first" Christmas in a loving home.
He came to visit me last Christmas and wouldn't let me pick him up to bring him in. I got to feed him and then he was running around in the neighbor's front yard. There was one snow storm after Christmas and he survived that.
I know he got tired of being cold and lonely, and let me bring him in on January 5, 2008. He lived with us until mid May 2008.
Because he never got along with Bail and Merl, he had to stay in my bedroom when I was at work or out of the house. He was allowed many intro-sessions, some being a couple hours long in the end. Easter Sunday was the turning point when he got into a violent fight with Bail and Merl had to break it up.
I know I made the right decision as Yingy wasn't happy nor were Bail and Merl. The stress was too much for all three to handle, and I was pretty much stressed all the time having to see these awful fights.
Anyway, I wish Yingy the bestest Christmas with his new Mommy. I know she'll give him lots of love, presents, and treats.
The last time I heard from her, she said he was doing fine; he had learned to trust her and had adapted to his new home.
Yingy's former Mommy and the one who saved him from the "wild life" outdoors.
