Arrival Story:
Ginger was a stray who was hiding in my neighbor's garage. She was very feral and they were going to catch her and send her to the humane society. When their daughter caught her I had them bring her to my house and I worked with her for about 3 days to get her so she wouldn't hiss or bite when we approached and picked her up. She still hisses at strangers but LOVES to sit in my lap and my daughter's lap. It has taken her longer to get used to my husband because he doesn't interact with her as much. Just in the past few days (about 1 1/2 months after bringing her home) she's started to curl up in his lap. When we brought her into our home she was very emaciated and was losing the hair behind her ears. Now we have to watch her closely in regards to overeating and she has all of her hair back. I gave her a bath in Dawn about a week after we had her to help get rid of the fleas. She was too little for a flea collar or flea shampoo. Now she's wearing a flea collar and stays inside all the time.

"Ginger"ly Fitting In


Adjusting

Hello Everyone!

I've been adjusting to life in the Rowe household and I think I'm doing quite well. As you read in my profile I was feral but they took me in and taught me that being pet and loved on can be enjoyable. Now I just can't stand it if I'm not being loved on or allowed to sleep in someone's lap. I never knew what it was I was missing out on. I'm so glad that I have a new family to take care of me. I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world.

I also now have a brother to play with when my family's not home. He can be a pest sometimes but I can handle it. I let him know if he's being too much of a pest and he leaves me alone. Sometimes we like to cuddle together. He's a good brother, even if it was a bit of an adjustment at first.

Well, I'm off to take a bath. Seems I can't keep myself clean enough for my liking... What's a girl to do?
