"I'm a sweet but very shy girl who just needs a nice quiet home and family. I may need some time to adjust, and would do best if I had another cat friend. I like to be held and I'm content to snuggle, I just may hide for awhile when I'm loose in my new home. (I think that I would do great if I had a large dog crate to start off in; let me adjust to that space, and then move on as I gain my courage.) I may be a little extra work at first, but I know that I'm worth it. I'm spayed, leuk & fiv negative, vaccinated, chipped and only about 4 months old. How about giving me a chance?"

 Despite what you may have heard, felines are trainable
People have low expectations of cats. Sam Connelly tells of the time that she and her cat Storm observed a Canine Good Citizen test while they were waiting for their feline agility class to start.
"I'm watching the dogs and I commented to the evaluator, 'My cat can do all that,"' said Connelly. "At the end she said, 'Want to take a shot?' like it was a big joke." DOG PAWSE
Electronic fences have their limits I can't tell you how many times in recent months I've been driving along and seen a jogger get unexpectedly charged by a menacing, 100-pound dog. The fierce dog stops just short of the little white flag sticking out of the ground that denotes the boundary of the electronic pet fence. Meanwhile the jogger has had a momentary heart palpitation and has just about fallen off the sidewalk into oncoming traffic. More of this story KITTY CORNER
