Richie Rich
January 20, 2008 | Pets
Since Casey’s cat went to live with her grandmother (she lives in a mansion and the cat liked it better there). I had still paid my pet fee, still had my cat bed, litter box, scratching posts, toys, food etc. and so I went to the Humane Society to get another cat. I like to go there because they are already neutered and have had all their shots. The cat I picked out was 5 months old and his name was Richie. He had been in the cage for 3 months (bless his heart). The vet checked him out when I got ready to leave and said “Bye Richie Rich”, He said that is what he had always called him so I guess thats his name. The thing is its been 3 days and he has barely come from out from under the sofa. He has barely eaten, and I can’t even hardly tell if he has used the litter box. Thats where the picture was taken under the sofa. I hope he doesn’t starve himself to death. He ought to be happy I saved him from a little cage. Their were a lot of kittens but I wanted an older cat that had less of a chance of being saved.

Lainie, buy some tuna and open a can. I have yet, in my 44 5/8 years handling cats, ever seen one resist tuna. If Richie doesn’t come out then, I suggest letting 50 mice loose in your apartment and seeing if that does the trick.

There was one cat that wouldn’t have anything to do with tuna. That was our old Mama Cat. in all of her 16 years…she never touched the stuff. She never ate anything but cat food (boughten stuff from the store). No fish of any kind. Beat all I ever saw. But that’s all we ever fed her.
