Corrigan has come out of her pen and seems to be relaxing.. She is now eating loads she has had a real good worming, and she seems to have room for lots of food now she is on a mixed diet of RC Mainecoon- British Shorthair and fit
I have taken a couple of photos of her!!
BELOW is a movie I made tonight of her actually I think? liking being stroked!!
[ame="http://s880.photobucket.com/albums/ac7/badsworthcats/?action=view¤t=Untitled.mp4"]Corrigan video by badsworthcats - Photobucket[/ame]
She is so enjoying being stroked! Only the camera seems to distract her a bit. But otherwise... in a short while you will have a cuddle-junkie on your hands.:nod:
Watched the movie, Corrigan is a very pretty girl and looks like she enjoys learning to be petted, talked to, loved. How can anybody mistreat an animal? These fursouls are beams of God's Love. Wonderful that you can restore goodness to her life.

Corrigan is a now different cat!!
Today the cats disappeared, I could hear them but did not know were they where... I found them, they had dragged a toy on a stick through the cat flap in one of the cat playrooms downstairs, and where trashing the place... being the nutter I am, I went to play with them...
Corrigan for the very first time was sooooo interested it was nice to see... she was really interested in what they where doing and actually joined in.. :smile:
What great news, Debbie. She really is a pretty little thing.
Oh Debbie, she is just adorable - so glad to hear that she's settling back in and socialising well. How anyone could possibly mistreat a cat is beyond me, poor little mite :(
Thank you, she is now so interested in what is going on, and the kittens of course have their biscuits but they also daily still get soaked biscuits with cooked chicken... and I think she likes this the best!! Either way we have turned a corner... TLC is all it took...Quote:

Who treated this cat with cruelty and what were her injuries? as I still cannot find out anything about this story.
Today is the first time computer has stayed up long enough for me to be able to watch film clip,what a difference in her you must be so proud & towards the end when her paws started spreading out & padding thats a sure sign of a contented MC,only one way to keep going now,up,up,up.
Will so look forward to seeing her as a proud mum in due course....
There is much on this forum about this cat and the person that had her, she was not injured,just badly neglected, and bred off by a breeder, who was only supposed to be taking care of her for a short time while she waited for the 3 week quarantine required by law!!
This woman was only motivated by money she bred off her, with out permission and consent. from the owner which was me. and it took me almost 9 months to get her back through COURT.
There was a website, which is down for the moment, but there is enough information on this forum to catch up, or you could private message me.

Amber has already decided to keep a girl from her as she is getting her self a stunning new Brown tabby male boy, in 2011.. so that will be all her girls new Boyfriend...
Mimi the other girl, that was kept in this terrible way too, lives with Jet she is twice the size she was and although still quite skittish she is settling down so well.. Jet is such an easy going lad always demanding attention.. so when you give it to him she actually comes now to you for her turn... As its getting cold now they get every evening now their winter warmer of soaked kitten biscuits with cooked chicken and gravy... and she is the first to ask for it.. Jet can have some too... if there is some left!!:rofl:
Its been a hell of a year for us and both cats... but now we see light at the end of the tunnel...:smile:.
So pleased for you & Amber....
I am glad that the cat was not injured in any way. I have not seen any website about her but maybe when its up and running again I can catch up on the full story.
I did see on another one of your posting that she had kittens in July which I had replied too saying that waiting for a whole year before mating her again would be the best course of action, this will give her time to heal and recover from whatever her ordeal was.

I have just looked at the link and read some of what appears to have happened to Corgan, I don't understand what neglect there was, but I think you should not worry too much she was just upset and stressed at moving house not of loosing her babies as adult cats are not very happy when their environment is changed and it must have been very scarey for her also to have to meet other cats she did not know.
My breeder friend said cats do loose babies in some circumstances but soon perk up afterwards they are not the type of animal that will mope for weeks/months looking for kittens that are gone, usually they will just start calling again.
As you have said she is now settling down and playing which is usually what happens eventually with an adult cat in a strange house with strange cats, by next summer she will be well adjusted and ready for a boyfriend.

Actually this adult was not with strange cat she was by her self she was put with "strange" cats as you state when I had tried everything else to settle her.. Like I said if you knew what had happened to her you would not make this comment as above, the strange cats have actually made her come around..
I will leave this at that, now as you need to have the full picture before you can make comments

She has been out with the June babies we are keeping she was running and playing in the tunnels so as not to disturb her we took these through the window...
She's starting to look a bit more like the cat in the photo you saw at the Cattery, Debbie. She's got such a sweet little face, and her coat looks like its well on its way - looks like you hit the jackpot putting her with the youn'uns, it clearly agrees with her. Good call, and thanks for the updated pics.
She sure is, I am so pleased she is now happy, the young ones do not give her time to get upset and or depressed they have totally brought her out of her shell, she is eating loads, I think you are right the Jackpot was well and truly hit... we are getting there...:smile:Quote:

I am new to this forum as you are, therefore by your postings I would have no idea you had been breeding for 32 years and of course as you say I do not know the full story but I was only trying to be helpful and respond to your postings. I am confused I thought thats what the forum was for, that was the reason I joined. If you did not want a response why did you post?
Wow, she's really turning into a pretty happy kitty. Good on her (and you of course)!:nod:
I agree with Karen... she has a wonderfully sweet face.
She looks beautiful great to see her so happy,makes you want to cry....
Lovely updated pics Debbie, thanks for posting them! So glad she's coming out of her shell x
Thank you all..
I am very pleased with her progress indeed, she is bigger, happier and fatter now.. so the next stage hopefully for Amber will be Kittens to our Hunky Jet..... that will be very exciting.
