As I have posted three weeks ago, I adopted a Siamese from a local shelter. He is a two year-old male whose "owner" dropped him off at the shelter after having him for two years. He allowed Zen (formerly known as Monkey) to go outside quite often, but I suspect that when he was indoors he was kept in a cage. Well, he was at the shelter two months when I adopted him, so that was traumatizing in and of itself.

He is VERY loving and enjoys being around me all the time. He sleeps with me (and boy does he snore!), with his paw oftentimes draped over my arm. He is adorable, and except for one thing, I have no concerns about him other than his weight. The problem is that in the past three weeks since I have had him, he has bitten me four times. Not the play bites either. He didnt break my skin, but he definitely bit me hard (twice I had to pull him off of me by the scruff of the back of his neck as he not only wasn't letting go, but was trying to get a better grip on me). The biting happened (3 out of 4 times) when we were laying together and I was simply stroking him (we were not playing). There was very little warning before he decided to bite.

I am not giving him up, as he is a wonderful animal, and I really do suspect that he was abused by his former "owner" (I really hate that word) due to some other things he has done (when I ask him to leave the plant room, he is stubborn, and when I go to usher him out with my hands, he runs away in a very anxious manner while crying in a frightened way-that is just one example). What I want to know is whether or not anyone has experienced this problem with a feline, and what I can do to show him that I make the rules, and biting like that is NOT allowed, while still acting in a loving manner. Thanks in advance for the advice.

I knew that today (the one month anniversary of his passing) was going to be hard, but it's hurting more than I thought that it would. I miss my sweetest boy so much today. I'm going to go to the park this evening and spend a little while with him. It will be the first time I've gone there since I buried him.

There will never come a day that I won't wish I could have him back. There will never come a day that I will stop missing him.

Zen
I just adopted a Chocolate Point Siamese from a shelter in a nearby city. His name was originally Monkey, but I felt that he needed a more dignified name, so in tribute to Chaos, I named him Zen (which is acceptance of what is, something I'm trying to do since Chaos passed away). I have a feeling that he will acquire a nickname of "Zen Monkey" however, lol. He's a big boy (he was in a rather small room with about 20 other cats and almost no room to exercise for almost two months), but I'm going to leash train him so that we can go for walks (he likes it outside, but I would never permit him or any pet to go outside unmonitored). He is also being given a limited ingredient diet, so that will help. He has the most laid back personality that I have ever seen in a cat. And he has the typical Siamese devotion and intelligence. Katie is still getting used to the idea of living with this newcomer, but she is already starting to show signs of acceptance, which makes me think that this was probably a pretty good idea to adopt him. The first night with him, he laid next to me for half the night, with his paw around my arm, snoring. He slept alot the first few days (I've had him about five days now). I guess he's had it kinda rough lately, and was catching up on his sleep! Me and Katie have had it rough the past month too, so it's nice to have this new "little guy" to share things with. He loves it here, and seems very happy and relaxed. The photo posted is the one I saw on petfinders.com, I don't have any pictures of him that I've taken myself, yet.

Fifteen days ago I lost you, my sweetest boy. Words can never convey the meaning which you have brought to my life. All I can do is say thank you;

Thank you for your love that you so freely gave me, even at the very beginning.

Thank you for the sweet looks you would give me that only you and I would understand.

Thank you for listening to me tirelessly go on about the details of my everyday life, patiently waiting for me to get it all out.

Thank you for always wanting to be with me; whether I was good company or not.

Thank you for always letting me touch you and hug on you, even when you were trying to sleep.

Thank you for endlessly forgiving any transgressions I made-your love was unconditional.

Thank you for waiting patiently for me to end a phone conversation before telling me that you were hungry. Even if it was a long call, you waited without complaint.

Thank you for not being angry when I was away so much due to both school and work. You settled for seeing me only 8 hours of the night for so long (I know that you were miserable when I wasn't home.) I'm happy that the last few years we had much more time together.

Thank you for not complaining too much when I didn't keep up on the cleaning of your things the way I should have.

Thank you for the way that you would sit on the desk next to me while I worked (or played). You always wanted to be near me, which filled my heart.

Thank you for the way that you would tap my shoulder or arm with your paw to get my attention, it got you more than my attention, my little guy. Your intelligent antics touched my soul.

Thank you for the way that you wanted a hug from me SO much that you would stand on your hind legs, and put your two front ones in the air for me to grab you up. I wish I could have frozen one of those moments and kept it with me forever.

Thank you for the way that you curled up with me and helped to keep me warm at night.

Thank you for sharing me with the people that I dated. You were very gracious about having others in Your home, touching Your human being.

Thank you for the way that you would frantically meow (and making me laugh) when I would ask if you were hungry. Sometimes you would get so excited you would run in the opposite direction of the kitchen, lol.

Thank you for allowing Katie to eat first during the past year. You knew she wasn't feeling well, and were very kind to her when it came to meal time.

Thank you for always "asking" to come up and lay on me, even when after 14 years, it was a given that I wanted you touching me just as much.

Thank you for coming back home on your own after "escaping" the apartment to roam the neighborhood.

Thank you for allowing me to dance with you, and for (grudgingly) allowing me to play with you, draping you around my neck and other irritating stuff when I wanted to play "fight" with you.

Thank you for making sure to not break my skin when we wrestled, you knew your teeth were sharp!

Thank you for the way that you would notice my feet sticking out of the covers, and tempted beyond control, biting my foot knowing how sensitive they were (I acted like I didn't like it, but deep down I did, and you knew it).

Thank you for not only allowing me to sleep in, but for lying down with me-when what you really wanted was for me to get up and feed you breakfast.

Thank you for the way that you would "talk" to me. You almost always made it easy for me to understand what you needed.

Thank you for accepting all the kisses I would rain on your face daily, you seemed to like them as much as I did.

Thank you for waiting for me in the hall so that you would be there when I was finished with my daily shower.

Thank you for the way that you would totally surrender while we hugged, and lay your head on my shoulder.

Thank you for always being a constant that I could count on. An endless fountain of love from which I could drink whenever I wanted or needed.

Thank you for sharing your life with me and Katie. We didn't have enough time together-but then again no amount of time would have been enough.

Thank you for trusting me completely, and accepting my decisions that I made for you, even at the very end.

Thank you for helping me to stay connected with Life, Love and God.


I will always carry you in my heart little guy. You were more than an animal or "pet" to me, Chaos. You were Love.

Hello,

I have noticed that the blue envelope next to my user name has a strange grey dot in the middle. This symbol is not on the legend, so I'm rather confused as to what it is. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
