425.0. "Looking for a playmate" by MAGIC::POLLOCK () Thu Dec 11 1986 23:34

    I'm looking for a playmate for my cat, Ashes.  He's about 14 months
    old, smoky gray in color, short-haired and is neutered.
    
    I'd like to get another male, around the same age (give or take
    a few months, but not a kitten), that is preferably black, or gray,
    or tiger or something similar, and with short-medium length hair.
    
    Does anyone out there have a cat they know of that needs a new home?
    
    Thanx,
    Paula

    Paula, you may want to check note 415 for information on cats/kittens
    for adoption.

    Paula,
    
    I was going to reccomend note 415 also.  It your cat is a nuetered
    male you shouldn't have any trouble introducing a new cat.  Cat
    psychologist's often claim that a nuetered male is a great companion
    for a kitten of any sex.

425.4Ashes has a friend now...MAGIC::POLLOCKMon Dec 15 1986 12:5012
    Well, I found a playmate for Ashes!   His name is Spooky.  Spooky
    is all black, with medium length fur and 4 double paws.  He's a
    year-old, neutered male.  Spooky is very affectionate.
    
    Ashes and Spooky seem to be getting along ok, except when Ashes
    is eating and Spooky wants to eat too.  They have separate dishes,
    but when Spooky comes near Ashes dish, Ashes growls and hisses at
    Spooky.  Other than that, they seem to tolerate each other, except
    for an occassional hiss or two.

425.5Allergic infant vs. loving pet. What would you do?MEMV02::RENGAFri Jul 22 1988 12:4819
    
    PLEASE HELP!
    
    Everyone wants kittens but we have a problem.  We have a 7 week
    old child who is allergic to our lovable 6 year old female cat.
    
    The cat, named Sam, is very affectionate and playful.  She is
    short-haired white and orange and weighs about 10 lbs.  She is
    also declawed front and back is therefore and indoor cat.  We have
    tried everything to place her.  If you have a place in your heart
    and your home please contact me ASAP.  
    
    The situation is really heartbreaking.  If we can't place her she'll
    have to be put to sleep soon (our child comes first, and he's really
    suffering).
    
    Thanks,
    
    Vince Renga DTN 232-2316
425.6My heart goes out to you!FRICK::TRAVERSFri Jul 22 1988 13:4610
    I'm so sorry to hear about your situation.  I am due in three weeks
    and have lost sleep over the thought of having to lose my Figaro
    if my baby is allergic to cats...
    
    I'll keep an eye out for a home, as I know many other noters will
    too.

    Vince, how do you know it's the cat?  When my daughter was tiny
    about the same age as your baby, she seemed to always be
    stuffy.  The Dr. advised to take everything out of the crib
    that was not made of natural fibers - it worked!  Turns
    out later that Susan does have allergies, but the dog and
    cat didn't seem to bother her at all.  
    
    I'm sure you have tried EVERYTHING! But I was just wondering....
    
    Good Luck!

    Another vote for being sure it is the cat that's the problem.  A
    friend who is allergic to many things has a baby in the same boat.
    Both test sensitive to cats, but the presence or absence of a cat
    in the house makes no difference -- they are much more sensitive
    to other things, and if the others are controlled, the cat is not
    a problem.
    
425.9Should I have given the kid away???TOPDOC::TRACHMANFri Jul 22 1988 19:0012
    I had to take out of the crib all the cute cuddly stuffed toys,
    all blankets and sheets and mattress pads that were not cotton.
    She could only wear natural fibers also - difficult finding !
    
    It worked - we kept the dog and the cat!!  Gee, now that she
    is older, I wonder if I should have given the kid away?????
    
    Just kidding, just kidding!!!!!!
