Making learning fun!

About a year ago I was browsing the humane society so that I could adopt some cats. I didn't want to adopt kittens, I wanted to adopt cats no one else would and give them a good home.

I found Furball and Banana's listing and adopted them practically same day. Their owners were an elderly couple who were going into assisted living due to the husband's dementia. Unfortunately, the home would not accept pets and they had to rehome their geriatric cats. Not wanting them to be homeless or separated, I adopted them (with much criticism from other people).

They were a hard sell. After I adopted them they both hid under the couch. I'd only see them when I'd enter the room and they'd scurry away. Banana didn't come out of his shell for about 2 weeks, and it took probably a month or two for him to really open up. I had to really work for his affection.

Banana has had some rough spots. He had a bout with pancreatitis late last year, in addition to being hyperthyridic. He started losing a lot of weight in March. He was 9.5 lbs in March and tipped the scale on Sunday at 6.1 lbs. Banana did not recover well from his urinary blockage on Sunday, and I decided he should go peacefully in my arms rather than in pain and stressed out.




RIP Banana
