PUSKA

SHORT HAIRED TORTOISESHELL TOM CAT

 FERAL

TABBY

4.2Kg

APPROX 1-2 YEARS OLD

ADOPTED BY TOP PET SHOP IN AUGUST 2006.

YOB CAT PUSKA A FEW DAYS AFTER HIS ARRIVAL.  LITTLE F.E. IS HIDING BEHIND HIM.  NOTICE HIS CROPPED EAR, A SIGN TO RESCUE CENTRES THAT HE HAS BEEN NEUTERED.

PUSKA'S TEMPERAMENT WHEN HE ARRIVED WAS THAT OF DISCRETION IS A BETTER PART OF VALOUR, ALTHOUGH ONCE CORNERED WITH LITTLE F.E. HE BECAME A HISSING YOB!

NOT HALF THE SIZE OF ESAU HE ALWAYS PUTS ON A BRAVE FACE.  HIS COAT WAS IN FAIR CONDITION AND HIS TEETH WERE IN GOOD CONDITION. HIS WEIGHT WAS ALMOST PERFECT.  THIS WAS MAINLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE HAD BEEN SLIGHTLY LONGER AT THE RESCUE CENTRE THAN ESAU AND LITTLE F.E. AND SO HAD ALREADY RECEIVED THE FULL BENEFIT OF THEIR EXCELLENT CARE AND ATTENTION.

WEEK 5-6

LITTLE F.E. HAS NOW ASSERTED HER PLACE IN THE CAGE (BOSS OF COURSE) AND TO ESCAPE FROM HER ATTENTIONS PUSKA NOW PREFERS TO LIVE IN THE SKY BASKET!  HIS COAT IS IN FINE CONDITION AND HE HAS BECOME VERY ACCLIMATISED TO HUMANS.  THOUGH NOT TO THE LEVEL OF ESAU.

NOTE HOW THE CAT TOY TANGLED ON HIS BASKET HAS BEEN CHEWED TO PIECES, THIS IS HIS FAVOURITE TOY THAT HE JUST LOVES.  PUSKA IS JUST A BIG KITTEN AND IS ALWAYS PLAYING WITH THE TOYS.  IT IS FUNNY TO NOTE THAT HE WILL STOP WHEN HE CATCHES SIGHT OF ONE OF US, BUT THE OTHER TWO WILL KEEP RIGHT ON.

BUT THEN HE DOES HAVE HIS STREET-CRED TO THINK ABOUT!

IN THE LAST WEEK LEADING TO THE RELEASE INTO THE BARN, PUSKA STARTED TO JOIN ESAU AND EAT OFF OF THE SPOON! 

THE BIG RELEASE AND THE SIX WEEKS IN THE BARN

WEEK 8-10

THIS IS MY HOLE AND I WILL NOT SHARE. 

PUSKA TAKES UMBRAGE TO HIS PLAY TIME BEING INTERRUPTED.  ALTHOUGH HE IS HEALTHY AND HIS COAT HAS BECOME BEAUTIFUL HE IS STILL VERY WARY OF HUMANS, DISCRETION BEING THE BETTER PART OF VALOUR HE WILL RUN TO SAFETY WHEN THE BARN IS ENTERED. 

THE ONLY PERSON ABLE TO FEED OR PLAY WITH HIM IS SARAH.  AND WE HAVE NOTICED A VERY STRONG BOND BETWEEN HIM AND LITTLE FE

WEEK10-12

HERE WITH ESAU IN THE KATKABINS PUSSKA IS NOW TRUSTING HUMANS A LOT MORE.  ALTHOUGH HE WILL STILL RUN IF UNCERTAIN OF NOISE OR A NEW PERSON.  HE WILL NOW PUSH YOU OUT OF THE WAY WITH HIS HEAD TO GET TO THE FOOD.
