Philanthropy is the act of donating money, goods, time, or effort to support a charitable cause, usually over an extended period of time and in regard to a defined objective.

No caso da Humane Society é sim, é um abrigo excelente.

Esqueci de falar, Nessa, eu li que pro gato não arranhar a mobília, funciona (com um pouquinho de paciência) comprar um saquinho de catnip e esfregar sempre no poste de arranhar, o catnip atrai o gato, daí ele vai preferir arranhar o poste dele que a mobília.

afe Laura.. que ruim isso hein...

o Hopkins agora que ta maiorzinho ta se comportando melhor.. ja deixa a gente pegar no colo de vez em quando.. aceita mais carinho... ate mia pra gente.. ta mais brincalhao e talz...mais ainda ta muuito longe de ser aquele gatinho carinhoso e amoroso que tinha no Brasil...

Parece que na noite que eu e o Ken estavamos conversando a respeito de leva-lo de volta, ele acordou

porque justamente depois daquele dia, ele mudou completamente...ainda bem, porque estavamos mesmo decididos a leva-lo para o abrigo e pegar outro gatinho...eles deixaram claro desde o inicio que a gente podia fazer isso...

Espero que voce ligue e pegue outro, Lauritcha.. porque honestamente, isso nao vai dar certo.. voce nao gostando dele e o pior sentimento .. e vc sabe bem que dono e animal de estimacao tem que ser love story.. senao...

kakakaka.. Vanessa.. mais ele e meu fofinho o Kevinho pur isso que eu falo assim...

eu e o Ken tambem somos como vcs... nos adoramos Discovery, Geographic, History channels...raramente assistimos outros... bom, eu assisto muito o Food Network mas geralmente quando ele nao esta around.

Hoje fui fazer o teste do ESOL para saber em que nivel entro...putz.. tem muita mais muita gente mesmo que nao sabe nada nada nada de ingles... afe.. e olha que estao aqui ha anos.. tipo 7 anos ... eu so de butuca la ouvindo...

Agora e so esperar eles me ligarem... vou fazer as aulas aos sabados de manha. Sao so dois meses.

E ai.. o que farao nesse feriadao ?

[Ladylethal 12]

Tem feriado agora?

Eu pensei que você não precisava de aulas de inglês, Lisz, sério mesmo. E pra gente não falaram nada sobre trocar não, acho que não pode, mas vamos ver o que vão falar quando o Luis ligar, espero que a gente possa trocar, porque o Juanqui é um gato lindo e tal, mas realmente é difícl eu fazer algum bonding com um gato que não deixa.

[LiszyandKenny 5]

oh Lauritcha.. gracias.. mais preciso sim... como eu aprendi ingles sozinha.. sem nunca ir a escola nenhuma eu tenho que trabalhar bastante ainda na minha gramatica...e pronuncia de algumas poucas palavras.. de resto eu to bem.,.. quero falar muitissimo bem, sabe ? sou perfeccionista

Pois e.. eu o Ken tinhamos falado o mesmo a respeito do Hopkins.. porque tava sendo impossivel criar lacos com ele tambem. Mas, ainda bem que isso mudou porque ele e tao fofinho... pestinha mais fofinho

Boa sorte, miguinha

O feriado na segunda e Memorial Day aqui nos States

I haven't read the rest of the thread, but Laura, I want to warn you that if you give back Juanqui he might end up dead! They have to tell people why he was surrendered, and nobody is going to adopt a cat if that's the reason. My local Humane Society put down a cat after 3 months. Nobody wanted him because he was surrendered for peeing on a couch. They might not even put a biting cat up for adoption again.

Boa viagem, Nessitcha

I really believe the reason he bites is because he is still a kitten, and kittens usually have siblings to play with to use up all their energy. It took a while for our cats to grow up and start getting more cuddly. If I were you, I would call the person/place where you adopted him from and tell them what's happening. They might recommend you to either get a second cat (which I know you can't because of the deal you have with your landlord) or ask you if you're willing to wait a little more until he grows up to see if the behavior improves. They might also ask you to take him to a vet, which I know is another financial burden that you probably would want to avoid.

However, there's only really two options that do not involve putting in more money: wait some more until he gets older to see if the behavior improves, or return him to the shelter.

We decided to get a second cat even though the condo where we live only allows one pet (they have no way of knowing though, since we keep them indoors). It was much better for Tom to have Jerry around, they play together and entertain each other, keeping off of our furniture most of the time. Jerry is still a big baby, and likes to cuddle all the time. Tom is more reserved, but has learned with Jerry to ask for a good rub in his tummy.

I wish there were an easier solution to the issue, but it seems that you'll have to make some important decisions and perhaps some compromise as well, at least for a bit longer until Juanqui is older.

I agree with everything you said.

eta: I wanted to clarify that even if his biting is not really a big deal, if you put "biting" on the tag at the Humane Society, nobody will take that cat home because others were surrendered for non-behavior problem reasons. Same with the cat where it said "peed on furniture" where we don't know if he peed on the furniture because he didn't get neutered or because he was neglected or whatever, but still, that's what it said on the tag and nobody took him home. By then we already had 2 cats but I still feel bad about not bringing him home.
