Arrival Story:
Our home was too empty. We recently lost our beloved Jetta to cancer. She was our first cat ever. We lasted 10 days without a kitty. I went to visit the wonderful people at the Watertown (WI) Humane Society. They had so many lovable kitties needing homes. But there was this one really scared little female. The volunteer handled her with big leather gloves. My heart when out to her. She was found on the mean streets of Wisconsin in February... in a very cold winter. I asked to spend some time with her in the bonding room. She was so fearful of everything. I sat on the floor (me- in my suit) and put her on my lap. She just stayed and hung on seeming to need my warmth. I melted. We adoped her as soon as was humanly possible. We brought her home and for quite a while, she would only come to us if we were laying down. Times have really changed. She's a bit more assertive, and actually seems to run the place. We're delighted that she's grown less fearful. She even came down to greet the ladies on Thursday night. She just showed herself to them for 30 seconds, then ran away. But it was a huge step for her.

Bio:
Shyla is a natural born hunter. I love animals. We are sometimes at odds about her role with respect to other animals. We feed and water birds. Shyla knows she is NOT to hunt birdies. That said, she's brought a live one in the house. She let it go and it was up to me to get it to fly back out. Her most recent escapade was to bring in a chipmunk (she carried it like a kitty baby) and take it down into the family room, let it go, and chase the poor thing. Needless to say, she is on double secret probation.
