My ex-wife (Elizabeth) has a cat… a white Siamese named “John”. He’s meant to be an outside cat, but considering the wild animal population where they live now, letting him out there isn’t safe. He’s not doing well inside — poor guy has become neurotic and keeps looking at the wall, nervous all the time and peeing where he shouldn’t. I was planning to take him when I move into my own place up there, but since I’ll likely have an apartment, the situation won’t be much different.
John is a very pretty, gentle cat. He’s one of Gwen’s two “bedtime” cats, because he loves to sleep with her. For many years in fact, he slept right on her pillow at night guarding her. However, we have got to find a better place for him.
I have no good stills of John, just this back shot (John’s on the left, with his sister, Noe):
…but here he is in two videos (with Gwen):

Q: Is he a good mouser?
A: He’s never been given the opportunity to mouse. In Utah, we kept the cats out of the downstairs, so the mice just quarantined themselves to the safe half of the house. (We were on a mountain side, so there were exterior entrances both upstairs and downstairs). But I’m guessing he would be good; he’s the most playful of our cats and can chase/catch any yarn, ball, etc…
If you can help, or know someone who can, please contact me ASAP. Tomorrow will likely be the deadline before he must go to the shelter… hsjones@sisna.com, or 801-362-0341
I’ll drive as far north as Atlanta to deliver John to a good home!
TIA!!
