Comes flying from his pool to the fence and throws water on everyone. Then happily chuffs, rubs the fence, goes back to the pool and does it again. When he became too big to have pictures made with the public at his former home, he was kept in a tiny dungeon of a cage - never seeing anyone. It is so wonderful to see cats who were starving and weak, confined to a tiny cage and destined for a life of depression, now running and playing, and bouncing into and out of their pools, their rippling muscles showing. Watching them contentedly cleaning their paws and face after enjoying several pounds of lean red meat with chicken appetizers.
Horror stories draw a lot of media attention.
But after the cameras leave, the cats are still there. And after they are rehabilitated, they must still eat - a lot. They still need their enclosures cleaned - every day, even in cold, freezing rain. They still need fresh water, even when the temperature is below zero and ice must first be removed from their bowls. They still need their food prepared and delivered to them, even when the temperature is above ninety and the mosquitoes are more danger than the cats.
