OK, all my friends out there. I need your help. I need a new home for Herbie-the-Bad-Cat and his partner in crime, Tubby. These wonderful companions kept me safe and sane all last winter when I was confined to a recliner 24-7 and would make me laugh with their two tricks, Cat Wrestling and Cat Races. We had asked Dots (their vet) about bringing them with us in the car, and she advised absolutely not, unless they had been riding in cars since they were kittens, which they haven't. We then thought that we could fly them down, but the trip will be gruelling, we are unsure about the dosage and longevity of the kitty-downers we'd have to administer, there would be layovers in Seattle and SLC and then car rides--it's too much to ask of 7-8 year old country cats. So they need new homes. Matt and Susannah and Bea have been caring for them, but they have a little-bitty house and two 18-pound cats are just too much for them. They are good buddies, but both would be fine if they were adopted separately. It breaks my heart, but I also just couldn't inflict that trip on them. Herbie has the longest legs, tail and canines I've ever seen on a cat. He's a clutz; don't scratch his hind end--he doesn't like it. When he sits on you he's so heavy (18 pounds, as I said) you can't get up. Tubby is short and squat and looks like a doorstop when he sits. He has a tail like a cruller. He always lets you know when there's a present in the catbox and when there's not enough dry food in his dish. He weighs 18 pounds too. Both these boys prefer to be outside to do their business but they'll use a box. They like to be outside, except when it's raining and then they'll whine at you. They're funny and frisky and in good health--have had all their shots, etc. You can call Susannah at 299-4317 or 235-2310 to see them. I really hope someone out there will find it in their hearts to share their home with them. Thanks! Love to you ALL.
