Meet Drystan!

Meet Drystan

Hi there! My name is Drystan, and I’m an adorable fluffy orange and white tabby. My foster mom says I feel like a bunny rabbit because my fur is so silky soft, but I’m definitely a cat! I’m not a really big boy, but my paws are pretty big, so I might grow up to be a big, strong cat. I like that- I’ll be able to pin my furry friends down when we wrestle and play!

I get along really well with all of my foster siblings; even the dog as long as she’s nice to me! I’m kind of a shy guy, so sometimes it can take me a little longer to be comfortable in new situations or when meeting new people. But don’t worry! Once I feel comfortable I’m really a sweet kitty. My brother, Murry, helps me feel not so overwhelmed and makes me more comfortable around things I’m a little unsure about! He’s my best friend and we’re a bonded pair so we must be adopted together. I like to play with my brother and chase toy mice or that crazy red laser light! My mission in life is to capture that red light! Even though I’m kind of shy, I like to be where all the action is, just sometimes I don’t want to be in the thick of it. When I’m feeling more social, I like to get pets and to snuggle too…and other times I like to be independent and spend some time relaxing by myself for a little bit.

Murry and I were rescued from Devore Shelter in June, 2017 when we were just 3 months old. Since then, we’ve seen the cat Doctor to be neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. I also tested negative for FIV/FeLV. I really like my foster mom’s house, but it would be great to find a family that would like to love me and Murry forever and ever. Maybe that will be you!

Cat Rescue Ed 101: What You Say?

CAT RESCUE ED 101 - WHAT YOU SAY?

To a cat, “meow” is an all-purpose word. They say “meow” as a greeting (“Hey, how ya doin’?), a command (“I want up, I want down, more food now”), an objection (“Touch me at your own risk”), or an announcement (“Here’s your mouse”). Some people have watched their cats walking around the house meowing to themselves… just like some people talk to themselves.

Chirps and trills are how a mother cat tells her kittens to follow her. Aimed at you, it probably means your cat wants you to follow him, usually to his food bowl. If you have more than one cat, you’ll often hear them converse with each other this way.

Purring is a sign of contentment (usually). Cats purr whenever they’re happy, even while they’re eating. Sometimes, however, a cat may purr when she’s anxious or sick, using her purr to comfort herself, like a child sucking his thumb.

Growling, hissing, or spitting indicate a cat who is annoyed, frightened, angry, or aggressive. Leave this cat alone.

A yowl or howl (they sound like loud, drawn-out meows) tells you your cat is in some kind of distress - stuck in a closet, looking for you or in pain. Find your cat if he’s making this noise. However, in unneutered and unspayed cats, these sounds are part of mating behavior. If your cat is elderly, he may be suffering from a cognitive disorder (dementia) and may howl because he’s disoriented.

Chattering, chittering, or twittering are the noises your cat makes when she’s sitting in the window watching birds or squirrels. One of KD’s president’s cats also does it any time she or her husband sneezes in addition to watching the nature show on “Kitty TV” at their large living room window. Some experts think that this is an exaggeration of the “killing bite,” when a cat grabs her prey by the neck and works her teeth through the bones to snap them. It’s also speculated that the chattering is a sound made out of frustration that they can’t get to the prey they see.
