Furry Feline Friends
February 24th, 2010 | 
Author: Can you guess what today’s ABC Wednesday letter is? I promised a few weeks ago to introduce you to my Furry Feline Friends that I cat-sit while their human works out of town. So, without further ado, meet Sammy and Scrubs …
Sammy is a stray that someone dumped off back in October. She’s a fun kitty with a very distinct personality. If it’s possible for a cat to give a human a dirty look, she does it with perfection. I laugh constantly at her different facial expressions.
Since she was a drop off, it was impossible to know if she was spayed or not. Turns out she wasn’t because she’s going to be a mommy kitty very, very soon. (I’m guessing this weekend since it’s a full moon.)
This little darling is Scrubs. She was a rescue kitty. A couple of months ago, she showed up at a local auto mechanic’s garage. She had some physical problems, but showed a lot spunk and was really sweet. The owners of the garage were afraid she’d get hurt even more with the constant movement of vehicles in and out of the garage.
So, about a month ago, she got a ride to her new home where she’s been pampered and loved on. She’s not out of the woods physically but she’s doing much, much better now. Most of her problems are because of her short little stub tail …
In this area of West Virginia, bobtail cats are quite popular, and there’s a genetic group of cats that are true bobtails. However, Scrubs isn’t a true bobtail. One glimpse at her little stubby tail reveals that it was chopped off.
According to the vet, people assume that bobtails are easier to find homes for, so when kittens are born, people cut the tails. Personally, I think it is quite cruel, and I imagine that little Scrubs would agree.

Oh, poor little Scrubs! I loathe and detest cruelty to animals! Poor little soul. Declawing is bad enough, but to slice off a cat’s tail! GGGRRRR!!!
Anyway, they clealy have a great home with you now, so they’re lucky little furry felines!
On behalf of the team, thanks for taking part in ABC Wednesday this week.
Oh, they look so sweet. I like Scrubs especially, so cute! And cutting her tail off? They must have been idiots!!!

What cuties! We have rescue felines as well. Five of them at the moment between our two daughters. Four of them are sisters. They are on my blog under a post called Send In The Clowns. You are a truly good person to take in these precious furry friends.
