We had some company this weekend and they brought our cousins Ringo and Buddy to visit, too. Ringo and Buddy live with several cats. All of the cats out-weigh little Buddy, who is only 6 pounds!
Mom was expecting Whitey to hiss and hide, much like we do around dogs, but as soon as Whitey saw Ringo and Buddy he literally went ‘all Ninja’ on them.
Remember that Whitey is front-declawed - he did not hurt Buddy or Ringo. Mom thinks Whitey’s reaction to merely seeing the 2 little dogs certainly has something to do with his 3 years Outside fending for himself. It may even have something to do with his most recent injuries.
The whole thing lasted about 5 seconds. Buddy and Ringo’s Dad removed them from the room immediately. Whitey had to check every inch of the room to make sure they were gone before he would settle back down in his bed.
Whitey’s wounds are healing very nicely, but obviously, Whitey has some wounds on the inside that have to heal, too.
Poor Whitey,Buddy and Ringo. Breaks our hearts thinking what Whitey's life was before you saved him. And Buddy and Ringo must have been shocked by Whitey's attack. We hope for peace among them soon.
ReplyDeleteOurs basically hide, too. Whenever there's anything out of the ordinary, two out of three head for the back bedroom.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, Whitey will take things more in stride in the future.
Go, Whitey! Those woofies have to know who is boss!
ReplyDeleteOh poor Whitey, what did that little cat have to endure before he got his loving home. I agree the inside scars will take so much time to heal..
ReplyDeleteHugs GJ xx
Poor Whitey. I do not like dogs either. Cheysuli likes to chase them though!
ReplyDeleteLooks like Whitey is feeling comfortable enough at home to defend his territory.
ReplyDeleteI hope all of his wounds (both physical and emotion) heal soon.
Hehehehe, Whitey, you're cool!
ReplyDeleteWe gave you an award today which is especially for Feather too. With all these Mancats around she must be having a hard time! ; )

Whitey, I'm sending you special purrs today. Us ex-stray mancats have got to stick together. Cory has let me comment today just so I can tell you that it takes time for the emotional wounds to heal up, but they can. It's been a little over 3 months for me and just yestday my mom caught me actually playing with a little soccer ball. It gets better every single day. I'm rooting for you!!!

Wow, the Ninja Kit. Sounds like you are definitely on the mend and full of spit and vinegar, Whitey. We're sure glad no woofies were harmed in the Ninja display.
ReplyDeletePoor Whitey has had to live by his wits and decided attack was the best form of defence. Hopefully, in time, he will realise that they are not a threat to him. We are glad the little dogs were okay.
ReplyDeleteIt's so sad that Whitey had to deal with (we can only imagine) on top of his starvation and injuries. It's amazing that he is being given this chance. Whitey, you have an awesome Mom!
ReplyDeleteOh Whitey. We are sorry to hear that you were so scared of your cousin doggies. You know, our Dante still gets ninja with Yaffa and Sebastian, and he's lived here for almost a year! I guess you will always have inner defenses.
ReplyDeletePoor Whitey! We feel really bad that he has had to go through so much. We're purring for him.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Mom says to say that she hopes the woofies weren't too scared either.
Poor Whitey! He sounds all messed up. And declawed too poor darling. that must make him even more traumatised. Hope you can bring him some peace of mind.
ReplyDeletePoor Whitey. We're glad he is safe now and hope he can forget the past and enjoy his new life.

It's okay Whitey, you're safe now.
ReplyDeleteWe understand those inside wounds. Angel is still fighting hers. We can see that Whitey's eye and wounds are getting better!
ReplyDeleteAw, Whitey...we're sorry those woofies scared you...don't worry, nothing bad is ever gonna happen to you....
ReplyDeletePoor whitey, Hugz to you. Just chill, time will heal your inside hurts too... I guess you need more cuddles after the goggies visit. Make sure you get your cuddles!

I am so sorry that Whitey felt that he had to go all Ninja kitty on Buddy and Ringo. I bet they were shocked by his attack. I hope that all of them can settle down now that they are separated. Those inside wounds can take a very long time to heal. Sometimes they never quite do heal up.
ReplyDeletePoor Whitey, he must have had such a hard time trying to defend himself without front claws when he was outside. No wonder he got hurt so bad. ~S,S,C & F
ReplyDeleteHello furriends!
ReplyDeleteI've tagged all of u in my blog!
Come and see it!

Aw, it's too bad that Whitey couldn't enjoy his company. At least nobody was hurt. Poor Whitey that he has such a traumatic past. We hope that, over time, his inside wounds will heal as well as those on the outside.
ReplyDeleteBless his heart. I know that in time the inside scars will heal as well...
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Whitey, we all get scared sometimes. We are glad you is safe now though, and getting lots of love.
ReplyDeleteWe goez Ninja on doggiez in our house an' wif doggiez dat visit us, too. Momma alwayz smiles and tinks dat we would takez on da world!
ReplyDeleteAh, Whitey, who knows what tales you could tell about your time trying to survive! Do not worry, I run and hide if I even hear a doorbell! Even one on TV!
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about Whitey and the reaction to the dogs. I had a blind dog long ago. Due to his blindness it really took him a lot of time to accept new animals in the house because they moved in a way that he wasn't accustomed to but once he knew more about them, he was fine.
ReplyDeleteOf course, Whitey has some HUGE scars and wounds on his heart and soul. But you know, look at how he's accepted you and your home. Animals are the most forgiving of God's creatures...that's why I love them so much,
Whitey,
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about the woofies. They won't hurt you and you probably scared them more. I am sorry that you were frightened though. Take a deep breath, grab a snuggle or two and it will all be better.
You look like your healing well. Keep improving and you will soon be the most handsomest man-cat we know!
Purrs,
Taz, Runt, Charles and mommy, Anna
Go Whitey! No stinky dogs allowed!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, Whitey. You will soon learn that everybuddy loves you and won't let you get hurt. You can take a break from fending for yourself.
ReplyDeleteWow, Whitey. You're a fierce cat. We hoped you calmed down again and keep getting better!
ReplyDeleteOh Whitey! We are so very sorry that you had such a traumatic time living on the outside. We look forward to you getting real comfortable in your new home and learning that not all woofies or humans will hurt you.
ReplyDeleteWe are doing some extra purring for you!
Poor Whitey :( He's been through very bad things fending for himself for so long. I'm glad Ringo and Buddy weren't injured.
ReplyDeletePoor little Whitey. All those years fending for himself are bound to have left baggage for Whitey. We're sending him purrs.
