What makes Zeus so mean?
* This cat owns one of Typing Slave's readers
Here is Zeus aka THE BASTARD. He was at the
No Kill Shelter for 4 years, only being let out of his "house"
for less than 30 minutes a day since he would wack the crap out
of the other cats. He would race around and grumble, growl and
complain when told to get back in his "house". He was also noted
for smacking and wacking the workers as well and for having a
very bad attitude.
When my sister told me about his "unique"
personality, how beautiful he was and how he had very
expressive/intelligent eyes, I was sure we could handle him and
he wouldn't have to be in the cage all the time. So she brought
him home at Christmas time in 2006.
The first week he was wacking everyone right and
left while letting out this horrible yowl. Once the other cats
learned to give Zeus his space and we refused to back down from
his attitude, he settled in for the most part. We can give him
hugs, kisses, pets and some very quick cuddles if we have his
payment of crunchies right on hand.
If he acts up while walking across the room
smacking and grumbling we suggest he go eat his crunchies or go
sit on the hope chest and look out the window. If he
persists we whip out the big guns: "YOU WANT TO GO IN YOUR
HOUSE??"
