A terrible situation. Sometimes people astound and shock me but I do believe there are more good people than bad in this world. Houdini certainly deserves a good home.

Mutherfukking assholes. How can people do these things? How can anyone look at that and think it’s okay?

I am happy to hear that Houdini is healing, warming up to peoples, and has a new home to soak up the love. Yay for happy endings. Um. You know.

As of today, Houdini purrs and rolls over on her back so you can pet her all over. She really, really likes to be scratched around the ears even though she’s still a little gun-shy.

Hopefully, if she passes all of her blood tests, she’ll be adopted this weekend and go onto a fabulous new life with an awesome dude who has 3 other cats and a sweet indoor/outdoor setup on Long Island. I think Houdini just won the lottery.

Thanks to everybody who sent positive vibes and a big thanks to Dr. Annie Choi who makes cats’ dreams come true when she’s not curing world hunger.

Aww……poor little thing.

People are amazing, and people are horrible. I hope this kitty only encounters the amazing kind from now on.

Trapped-Neutered-Released sounds like my friend Brad’s first marriage.

What a sweet baby! If I didn’t already have two of my own I’d take her.

Sometimes when I think you are hard as nails, Annie Choi, you post something like this and I know that you are really a big softie, trapped in a sarcastic state of play.:) Either way I dig you. Not in a girl-on-girl way, but still. You did a nice thing for this pretty cat.

Also, when Houdini isn’t busy reading the Wall Street Journal, she enjoys listening to classical music and brushing up on her French.

Little Houdini is still healing, but still needs to have limited mobility. Because of her infection, she has to stay indoors and on antibiotics for the next few weeks. She may a slight limp from her wounds after she recovers. Other than that, she’s young and healthy and I’m hoping she’ll be adoptable. So far all signs point to her being friendly, but she’s too doped up to really tell.(It’s better if she is adopted. Feral cats around here have rough, sad lives and many are being displaced or sent to the shelter as all the new condos go up in my neighborhood: Williamsburg. Boo,gentrification.)

I’ve trapped a lot of feral cats and usually only the kittens are adoptable. The older cats prefer to live outside, so they are trapped-neutered-released (TNR). It’s a much better alternative than them spending the rest of their life in a cage since they’re usually too feral adopted. Here’s some information about TNR if you’re interested: http://bit.ly/do9ry Neighborhood Cats is a great organization and worthy of any donations.
