| 1484986 | 2022-03-17 20:01:00 | Kenj: Awww...see, destined to be yours. Neil F: Hoover came to us...he had been mistreated, you could tell from his utter terror over all sorts of things, his panic if touched anywhere around neck.....and his condition (bad diet?). He had his last part happier though and got to calm down and enjoy being patted (and brushed) all over. Husband used to call him the refugee...... I always said if you wait, a cat arrives. Nearly all of mine came that way. This is only the second time I have been to the SPCA. My mum is not happy to put it mildly but I said since I have been here I've lost a good friend, my 3 cats and my husband. Can't replace friend or husband but I can replace cat. |

It's easy for them to just wander off or maybe attacked by existing cats who consider your place their own territory and then be unable to find their way back if let out too early. |

It IS an old wives tale. I have had something like 15 cats over the years. I have never kept one in longer than a day or 2. 2 escaped, disappeared for a week...I kept on putting out food and they cruised back in like they'd lived there forever after a week... Even when moving, let them roam the house first, then let them outdoors straight after. Happy cats don't leave home. This one hasn't been socialised properly, stuck in an SPCA room for 4 months. She's hiding in things and not ventured out...although she can. I go in and talk to her, she'll come out, purr loudly, had a small play with toy mouse yesterday. So not pushing it, she'll get brave when she's ready. Eats like an elephant....lol..... |

| 1484991 | 2022-03-19 20:44:00 | Old wives tales are part of my culture and background which is lower to middle class southern England and here's my best old wives tale, "if a woman has heart-burn during the last part of her pregnancy the resulting baby will be born with longer hair than usual". | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 1484992 | 2022-03-19 21:31:00 | When I have moved house or got a new cat I've let it outside very early in the morning for a couple of days so it could explore while the neighbourhood was quiet. I'd walk up and down the street as the cat disappeared in and out of properties finding it's way around and taking in all the new smells. It's probably a more stressful time for me than the cat, they're ok once they learn where the dogs which don't like cats are and how to get back home. | bellbird (6169) | ||
