Ernie [5]

February 4, 2021

Lauren says: I adopted Ernie (formerly Abu) from a shelter just outside of Boston. He was a little shy when I first took him out of his cage, but soon enough he was jumping around and exploring. His favorite toys are tinfoil and string, and he loves seafood (especially salmon and tuna). He loves to nap all day (in between play-times) and his favorite spot to sleep is on a fleece jacket on the floor, right next to the bed I purchased for him. :)

Dear Ernie --I f you only knew how much I adore your grey tabbiness. So soothing to the eye and THE color of the last few years. You are so precious in both your names.

My only objection is that collar! Why is it so thick around his neck? But I do love his tiny pink tongue sticking out.

Erie is a little silver tabby with frosty grey fur. He is so cute and cuddly looking. Hope he stays out of the tin foil though.

Like @Natthecat, I too question the need for any collar on a cat, unless they are being taken for a walk outside. I've only had indoor cats, so have never seen the need for one. Thoughts? Having written this, I must say that Ernie's colouring is stunning, and he has such an adorable face. Love him to bits!

OpheliasMom - depending on where you live, they may need a flea collar to help combat fleas. We live in central Florida and lost a cat to fleas - still miss our little Snicker Doodles a lot! We didn't notice her having problems until she started going downhill - and a blood transfusion was way out of our ability to pay for. Trying to keep our cats from suffering from fleas is a daily chore.

Some areas are worse than others. Central Florida is notorious for flea outbreaks (and the Florida fleas are VERY hard to fight off!).

I should add - our kitties sometimes get past us when we come in the door. Having a collar and tag means that at least people know the cat isn't feral or a dropoff. If you can afford a chip, as long as they don't try to give the chip and their vaccines in the same spot, that's even better.
