Pacific Northwest Gardening: My Baby Magic Had a Seizure Tonight, 1 by

Here is a photo of the cat my daughter picked up in downtown Salem. She has brought him with her for the Thanksgiving holiday. Interestingly, she is not showing allergies to him like she does to our cats, so likely he has less of the protein that causes the allergies. That's nice since she has not yet found his home. He is neutered and didn't even have fleas, plus is really, really friendly for a cat. He lets anyone pick him up and pet him and did not run and hide when Claire put him down in the house. He just explored everything in an interested sort of way. Also he is fleshed out nicely so he hasn't been on the streets for long. She took him to a vet and he checks out as healthy, but no computer chip.

My cats were simply disgusted that I would even THINK of having this animal in their garage. I feared for him, so he is sleeping in the office. Cleo had her hair up on her back so high she looked like a ridgeback. Crookshanks was making a noise I didn't realize he could make. No reason to put anyone through that.

He found this nice perch next to family photos where he can survey the action and stay clear of the dogs. I don't think he has been around dogs because he was clinging to Claire for dear life when they approached, even though they are completely kind to him. Franny had her nose put out of joint because this cat will not let her lick his ears.

Surprisingly, Claire says she does not want to keep him. As much as she likes cats, he is a little too needy for her. Probably would be better off with someone who was home more and who had other cats who would accept him. Also, he likes to go outside and she lives in an apartment and won't let him go out alone. But he immediately used a litter box, so at least we know that he had used one before. He's never had an accident inside.
