On Maggie’s ear: she is a rescue who grew up in a feral colony. When she was found, her ear was so badly infected that the only way to save any of it was to amputate about 2/3 of her right ear. She is 16 now and doesn’t seem to mind it a bit.
ETA: You guys have made my day. I would tell Maggie, but I’m afraid it would give her an even more inflated sense of self-importance, lol! I tried to respond to every concern and question, but I may have missed a few. Sorry!
Also, to all who feel bad, I gave her a big handful of extra treats just for y’all today. Sorry the video doesn’t have sound. I am not tech savvy. Yes, she does the patty-paw every time there is food involved. Just in case I didn’t hear her calling for it the first time!
The ear was my favorite part! I have a mustang that got frostbite on her ear when she was in the wild so more than half of it is missing and it is my favorite thing.
I have a cat who looks quite a bit like yours. She’s missing half an ear because she was a stray who was caught, fixed, and released again. They clip the ear as identification that it’s been done. She later decided she lived with me. I named her Van Gogh.
Please would you give Maggie some snuggles for me? I lost my shouty old lady cat a few months ago and I miss her! Maggie sounds very very close to what my car sounded like.
