I live in London, Ontario, Canada.. please help...
Our (approx. 7 year old) domestic long haired tabby, Smokey, needs a new home.
When I first moved back into my dads house, there were some squabbles between Zaqkeri and Smokey. We figured this would happen, afterall, Smoke is the dominant cat.
Well, it stopped for a week, so we thought everything was done.. Zaq is very subserviant. Runs away, doesn't stare Smokey in the eye, he's happy to be on the lower scale of things. He's too laid back to care.
Unfortunately, he's started attacking Zaqkeri. For no reason. Zaq will be sleeping, on the floor, on a chair, in my bed next to me... and Smokey will just jump him and go straight for his neck. Zaq now had plenty of scabs and open wounds (which he's getting treated for), mostly on his neck.
We're getting desperate. Zaq is afraid to leave my room, I now have a kitty litter box/food/water in my room, so he's got everything he needs. It's just not fair for him to be confined to my room.
Smokey needs a home, and soon. We can't let this go on anymore. We've given everyone the year to adjust, but it's just gotten worse.
Smoke is a very lovely cat, otherwise.. litter trained, no accidents, friendly, even obeys commands like a dog. We're willing to give a cat box and food/water dish with him, also, a brush. He's an indoor only cat, nuetered as well (all our cats are).
Please, someone, anyone.. take Smokey, and give him a house with no other cats (a kitten, he'd be fine with), no dogs, and no small children. He doesn't like getting picked up, or fast movements.. but he'll lay beside you and let you pet him forever. I just want to know he's going to a good home, where he'll be treated like the king he is.
My dad's threatening to take him to the Humane Society (where we got him when he was a kitten), but I'm afraid he's so old, that he might be there too long and will get pts. He wouldn't deal with being stuck in a tiny metal cage. I won't let dad do this.. and it's my cat that's threatened. I just can't see Smokey ever being 'dropped off'. We love him too much.
If you can't adopt him, please ask around..
