We have "purr mode."


Pushover.

Scarecrow has ear mites. Ear mites, while nasty dreadful things, sure make ear-scritching feel really really good. It only took about five minutes of sitting, scritching, and petting with this little guy to make him purr. He took his intraocular/intranasal vaccine like a trooper. As soon as I leave the room and come back, he forgets that he was (just a moment earlier) rolling around purring in his bed, and I'll find him scrunched behind his cat box. But he'll get over that in short order.

He'll stay in quarentine until I'm sure he's not going to break with something nasty, and to give the vaccine some time to kick in so he's less likely to catch an upper respiratory from the facility cats (Healthy cats that have been sick in the past can shed the virus even though they don't look ill, and can infect newcomers).

Then fix him, fatten him up, give him a bath, and get him into a home.Posted by Picasa

He sure is a beauty. Oh, I'm so glad he likes affection. He'll find a loving family soon and be such a happy guy. Hooray Scarecrow!

What a pushover, pretty soon you can call him Romeo :))))), cause he's a lover, not a fighter.

I believe Romeo may be Juliet! Look at that face. Is that a girl face? I was sure "he" was a boy, but the back end doesn't lie.
