Deaf Cuddly Cat Looking for a Home (ADOPTED!)

Update Feb 3, 2010: Adopted!!!  Hurray!!  
This is my new foster cat: "Amie" and since i like to rename animals.. i call her "Allura" for beautiful. She is a 1yr old spayed Turkish Angora and is looking for a caring, understanding, indoor only home. She is deaf, but very friendly and cuddly -will wrap around your neck like a warm fluffy scarf and purr up a storm. She is an amazingly easy going cat who was fine with getting her claws cut, and even a BATH! She is very good with cats and very comfortable with dogs. In fact, she doesn't have a concept of personal space with dogs and will sneak dog food as the dog is eating or chew their chewtoys alongside them
(so becareful if you have a possessive dog!).
She also walks very good on a leash! Though she is deaf she acts just like a normal cat and meows or purrs when she wants attention. I have already taught her to come by using sign language!

How to make your own dog clothes

\I've gotten very creative these days! There is no way i would spend $15 on a dog coat.. as i already rarely spend more than 10bux on a T-shirt for myself! Plus, all the doggy cloths at the Petstore i deem obselete as the material is usually too thin, or Flint doesn't fit the sizes (she is somwehre between a medium and a small). SO i went to a children's store where they sold used clothes for $1 and i modified it for her :) ..(using my knowledge of anatomy of the dog hehehe... ) No, its not that difficult really: I just cut off the sleeves, sewed it close, then I cut holes where a persons breasts are for the dog's legs.. And finally resewed the sleeves back on in their new location. And to prevent the body of the sweater to droop (as a dogs waist is usually tucked up) I tied a band of fabric around her waist (later i will resew this smaller or modify velcro strap onto it)




Below: This dog coat is the work of my friend Kelly. She hates putting dog booties on so she took the sleeves off a child's pJ's, sewed one end close and sewed it to a doggie vest. This way you just plop the dog into one body suit!
