I Need A Good Home For One Of My Kitties

[Fierce Critter]

I hate to do this. Everyone knows the lengths I will go to to NOT have to rehome any of my pets.

Xena is the 4th cat we brought into the home. Xena has NEVER done anything wrong without provocation.

And Calder insists on provoking her. Every day, all day.

He basically ambushes her when she tries to go to the litterbox.

Xena doesn't like other cats. She's a wonderful people cat, but she likes a pretty big bubble of space around her where other cats are concerned.

It used to be the litterbox was downstairs. So Calder would lie in wait in the kitchen, and the instant Xena walked in and toward the stairs, he'd jump her. The result is a scream from Xena, and a tussle, and Xena has ended up pissing and pooing on our bed to show us the problem she's having.

If I take her to the litterbox, she's perfectly happy to go. But I have watched that little shit block her passage until she ends up just going in a corner or where she's standing.

We brought the litterbox upstairs into the kitchen while we were on vacation so my sister wouldn't have to go downstairs. Xena's problem with Calder disappeared for a couple weeks. But now, he lies in wait under the futon in the living room.

This isn't fair to Xena. We love Calder, and otherwise, Calder is a well-behaved, relatively sweet cat. But he's terrorizing a cat that has always been a joy, and has much, much seniority over himself.

Calder is the cat we found as a 7-week old kitten on the side of the highway in North Carolina. He's pretty much the only one we actually found and brought in in that manner. He's a smallish tuxedo cat - beautiful glossy black fur with white paws, chest & facial markings. He's about 3 years old now maybe. He NEVER goes outside of a litterbox, I have never seen him scratch anything except a scratching post, he loves to play. He's a mooch for junk food, and will eat Doritos & potato chips right off your plate. For a long time, he was a whore for green olives. Lately, though, he seems to have lost the craving. We call him 'Calder Butt' because he's also a whore for butt scritches. He'll do this adorable faint in front of you and writhe in exstasy. He doesn't like to be held, but really loves to cuddle up with another cat - just not Xena!!!

He is absolutely to be strictly an indoor cat. I prefer cats not be declawed, but I'll just ask that you not tell me if you decide to do that.

If anyone is interested, please let me know. He deserves a wonderful home. This isn't a decision I ever make lightly.

That second one has many possibilities as a LOLCat. :-)

I'm in no position to be accepting pets right now.

I'm still waiting for them to approve the ones I made 2 weeks ago before I submit more, but I intended to do so with this one.

He looks like a sweetie.

I wish I could take him, but I don't think my apartment would be big enough for him and the fellow I just gave a home to about a month ago.

Awww poor baby, it's times like this where I wish I didn't live in townhouses, we're only allowed to have one fur-bearing mammal and I already have a cat. This cat would be particularily cute too because the cat that I already have, her name is Gitzie, she's a medium-long hair black and white cat with the same markings and the same weird narrow little face as your kitty so I'd have fashionably correct cats. We all know how big of a fashion whore I am, and that would give Gitzie someone to play with (or hate and try to kill, but she's damn near harmless ) while I'm gone. *sniff* I wannnnt him! But can't have him : I hope you find a good home for the little man.

i wish i knew someone whod take him.....

Speaking of claws, this is a GREAT alternative to declawing and it won't hurt kitty. You only need to replace them every 3 months and saves your furniture (and your arms).

Hope kitty finds a good home soon.
