Meet Saidi
January 17th, 2008 - Sandra Marshall
Ok this one is definitely for cat lovers! Our new little stray is with us for keeps and we have called her Saidi. The first night was tough as our cat Mori was highly unimpressed to say the least, but nearly a week on and she is becoming part of the family. Mori really wants to play with her now, and they have got as far as sniffing nose to nose. A first good sign a few days ago was when little Saidi went to sleep in Mori’s bed under the chair, and he happily dozed in the sun ON the chair!
We now just need to get her playing with Mori and with us, but it may take a little longer. When she came to us she had just been spayed, had a blood test (hence missing fur under her chin!), and had up until then been feeding kittens, so she was sore and not feeling at all active. Now she is looking much healthier, but as we don’t know how long she had been out on the streets, and has had 2 litters that we know of in quick succession, play has not been high up there for her.
It will take time, but she loves being stroked, her coat is now gleaming and she seems settled and happy. As for Mori he is really quite fascinated by her, and they are SO alike that they could actually be brother and sister. Fingers crossed things get better and better.
