About DeeDee the Tortoiseshell | |
|
|
DeeDee is a beautiful Tortoiseshell. If you aren't familiar with Torties, they are almost always female, predominately black with gorgeous highlights swirling through their coat. And believe me, DeeDee is a beautiful example of one.
This little lady knows that if she strolls into this neighborhood house bringing her babies for warmth and shelter that our soft hearted volunteer falls for it every time ~ even if she is allergic to cats!
DeeDee came to us via Gisele, one of our volunteers and author of many of the wonderful videos we have posted on You Tube. DeeDee did not have a home but apparently she had a lot of friends. She showed up a number of times on Gisele's property, kittens in tow. Just a year old, she is a testimony to what happens when cats aren't spayed. Gisele always made sure her little families had food, water and shelter, but she was never able to coax them in. But the last time DeeDee showed up, she gave birth right in the garage. This time she welcomed the love and attention. She quickly adjusted to indoor living and would have made it a permanent solution if only Gisele wasn't severely allergic to cats. After talking to her for weeks on end, listening to her snuffle her way through conversations, I convinced Gisele that perhaps hers wasn't the best home for this little girl and her babies. Tearfully, she gave us the family. And not suprisingly, all the kittens found homes as soon as they were fixed. But DeeDee still waits for someone to notice her. I know they will. She is lovely on the inside and out. Unfortunatly, it is almost impossible to catch the beauty of a Tortie on camera. Video does better at showing those markings, but the camera never does. And it doesn't help that work really hard at taking some of the worse photos you ever did see! Trust me, if you meet DeeDee you will fall in love with her. Give it a try, I dare you!!!
According to the Cat Fanciers' Association, www.cfa.org, only those who have had a cat can truly appreciate the contentment and the shared affection such a companion can bring. Cats are, to millions of people, the most fascinating of non-human associates, the most fun to be with, to watch and be watched by in a companionship that is warm on both sides, yet not to the point of slopping over. With a cat, it is a friendship between equals, pursued on a basis of mutual self-respect. A cat is as content to live with you in a room as on a ranch. His throaty purr calms you like a lullaby and his silky coat against your cheeks fills you with peace. Yet he remains utterly independent. We who are interested in cats must remember that the cat is one of the most poorly understood of all animals. Why? Simply because the cat is a realist and does things because there is a reason for doing them. Most animals do things because their master commands or forces them to do so. But not so with the cat. How wonderful this world world be if we human beings did things because they were necessary, and not for show or effect upon individuals less discerning than we.
One big advantage of a pet cat over a dog is the fact that cats naturally use their litter tray and therefore there is no need to turn them out. In fact, if you really love your cat and value him, you will never let him out of doors unless he is with you in a carrier. Unattended, the odds are that your cat will be run over, poisoned, shot or stolen. There is also a danger of your pet picking up a disease, such as rabies, thus endangering the lives of your family. Fleas, ear mites, fungus skin disease, and intestinal parasites may be contracted from other cats and animals. By fighting with other cats, he may develop abscesses due to bites. When your cat is kept indoors, no one can complain about him. In order to avoid in any way creating a dislike for our pets, we must not let them disturb other people, nor allow them to roam on their premises. A cat which has never been outdoors will have no desire to go out.
People should realize that needless litters are of more ha
