    years ago got a semi wild, skinny, flea bitten nasty little black & white cat from cat rescue, they said we'd never train him & he'd always be half wild ... he terrorized the neighbours dogs :eek:
    still stole food even though his dish was full :eek: scratched me & DH
    to bits & bit us sometimes :eek: the vet always wore gauntlets when we took him for his appointments :D

    he was a character & tough as old boots :eek:

    but with lots of love & patience korky
    ended up a little bit fat lovely, cuddly, softie :D
    sadly he got old & had kidney problems :sad: so the
    horrible deed had to be done :sad:

    so i just kind of registered with korkythekat as
    i loved him so much :o
    he'll never be forgotten
    'specially by the neighbours dogs :rotfl::rotfl:

    ps: i'm female :D






    thanks korky is gorgeous

    Awwww Korky, was he resurrected as my neighbour's cat :o aww hunni you sound like you gave him so much love, which is not surprising knowing you here..

    mmmm I am obviously female :o don't really know why I chose this name...I think I did a short story called No Name Woman as part of my course, and I think it has, only slightly, some parallels with how I feel re living-on-a-hyphen, the inbetweeness if this makes sense...anyway enough philosophising, and yes, I did have a tiny brandy before you ask :D

    It is a scientific fact that your body will not absorb calories if you take it from another person's plate.

    Chocolate is the answer and I don't give a damn what
    the question is.;)

    But, all my friends can;t wait to see me and horse again, and although it will feel strange going back i am looking forward to it:D
    ( well, once my horse and cats are there safe i will be:rotfl:).
    and i wont be working 24/7 and out from 6am til midnight or not home again that night due to be too busy and crashing at friends houses:rotfl: . will still do the going to cocktail bar thing tho:beer:

    Korky,
    love the photos of your cat, gorgeous.
    one of my ferals that stalked me, and moved in when he was 1.5 years old, was a bit wild ( very, and fast with teeth and claws, if i annoyed him he would jump onto my shoulder and chew on my arm/neck. quite vicious) He is so sweet and loves his cuddles, jumps into my arms on command, and goes for walks on the lead. I think with alot of them, time, patience and tlc works well.
    on the other hand we have one that looks very like a scottish wild cat, cant meow, just chirps etc. and very wild.
    am rambling again.

    Night
