Anyway, she was telling me that cats do apparently go berzerk and really hurt their owners If a cat goes berserk, it's probably not the cat's fault. I've known people who have adopted laboratory cats. I know of two that had remnants of wires growing out of their heads. Neither of them was ever quite right. City folks sometimes get sentimental about feral cats, but they don't make good pets either. When I was doing rescue work, we would swap feral cats for adoptable cats cats from rural areas since it's easier to find homes for abandoned animals here and the feral cats could serve as barn cats there. I spent six months coaxing and coddling one feral cat that had a chance. One of the most gorgeous cats I've ever seen. I got her to the point where she was adoptable by a very special person, who loves her dearly, but she's still scared of her shadow. The woman who captured her begged us to give the cat a chance, but the six months of my time she monopolized could have been helped a lot of cats and the rest of the feral cats she captured were not considered for socializing and adoption. Gosh, that cat was a beauty. A blue with the softest fur I've ever felt. I miss having the little furballs around. All the more reason to settle in somewhere soon.
