Are you worn out? Tired of relationships that you give more then get? Do you want someone there just for you? Someone that won't criticize your life? So the dishes aren't done, dust everywhere and your not sure where the vacuum is? Consider a cat! They are low maintenance. Food and a clean litter box (5 minutes work tops) is all they require. A cat returns love! Not unconditional love, but true love all the same! The condition is you must love and treat them with kindness! Treat an animal like crap and they will be crap!

CURRENT CAT IN THE TRUCK IS NONE!

CHESTNUT

Chestnut is a small Siamese that might be a mix but hard to tell. She was at a foster home that could not get her to come around. I took her with me and what a little terror. Chestnut feared everything. Problem was she had a bad kidney that had to be removed. She was sick and had to get healthy enough for the operation. Chestnut is extremely fast with a powerful bite. A lot of my blood was spilled trying to get her healthy.
     The foster volunteer was glad to see that Chestnut had started to let herself be pet. However the foster person forgot my warning about going slow before, during and after touching Chestnut. The foster volunteer moved away a little to fast, but not fast enough and was bit. I kept Chestnut until she recovered from surgery.
     My brother-in-law Frank agreed to foster Chestnut. He is also not afraid of being bit. We are not fans of being bit but understand a skittish cat is very unpredictable. If you fear getting bit you won't chance letting the cat build the trust that will lead to friendship. Frank can now pick up and hold Chestnut. He has even given her a few baths. Frank is always careful to wash the blood off himself and not get any on Chestnut. She thankful for the bath shows her appreciation by inspiring the purchasing of new plastic shower curtains. Chestnut is still not very trusting of others. She does let others pet her but it is at her mercy! She also still needs monitored closely for urinary problems. I don't think she will ever be adoptable. Happy Endings shelter will make sure she is taken care of. Chestnut's happy ending is in permanent foster being loved and cared for by Frank.
