We have the sweetest Balinese (long-haired Siamese) that hubby Steven and I adore, coddle and spoil with abandon. Steven has a severe pet allergy and cannot tolerate dogs at all and cats moderately so. However, our sweet cat Jazzy is fine with his allergies.
Fast forward to yesterday afternoon when a sweet female Balinese (looks like a female version of him) showed up and decided to follow a neighbor into his garage and wouldn't leave. She even jumped in his car. Steven went outside and the neighbor asked if it was our cat (it looks like ours).
I was in a meeting and my phone blew up with questions, pleas for help and commentary. It started with "Great, I have this cat and don't know what to do!", "What do I do?!", "She HATES the cat carrier!", "She won't leave"...and so on.
"Well", I replied, "take her to the guest room, grab a spare litterbox and let her out of the carrier".
He didn't want to bring her in, but he did. I came home and fell in love. Isn't that how it goes? Steven took her to the vet to have her scanned for a chip - no chip. The vet said she We called the SPCA to check for a missing report and we made a lost and found post. We also sent out a email through the neighborhood association.
She is so overly affectionate and clingy we wondered if she might be in heat. She bottomed off the can of cat food and slept in the guest room snuggling with my sister, who happened to arrive yesterday from out of town. Now we wait and see if she is abandoned or an outdoor cat.
