"Striper"
Davis |
History-Striper was extremely wild and had been coming to our house
for 2 years to eat and sleep in one of our heated houses. I tried
to befriend him and tried to trap him. So, one early morning I put a board
on the entry of the house he was sleeping in and screwed it on with a
battery powered screw driver. All the way to the vet he was clawing trying
to get out. I felt so bad.
We took the entire house to the Cat Dr., into the exam room and had to
unscrew the board and get him out. He was so scared he didn't even fight. We
had him tested for aides and leukemia, neutered him and gave him
vaccinations. The Cat Dr. kept him for a week and we held and petted him
everyday as did all the vets and technicians. Everyone loves him. He was so
sweet. |

When I took him home he ran from me and would not let me near him. He
wouldn't get in the heated house for days either. When he finally did start
sleeping in it again, I decided I would stick my hand in there and pet him,
not knowing if he would bite me or try to run. |

When I touched him, he melted in my hand. And he has been
the smartest, sweetest, most lovable, cat ever since. He just loves to be
held. He puts each of his front legs around my neck and hugs me and buries
his face in my neck and purrs. He's thanking me. |
Striper gets along very well our other cats. He has become best friends with
"Billy Boy" (Nov. 2004 Centerfold.)
They are inseparable.
Striper started limping one day and after an x-ray on his foot, we found
that he has extreme arthritis and bone spurs in one of his ankles. The poor
thing. He's on medication now, and is going to have fluid drawn from the
bone to test for infection. He may need surgery on the ankle. We will do
what ever is necessary to help this wonderful cat live a happy life. Sue &
