Cats Galore

Here's a short list of the funnier pets on the PAWS website:

Mister Bojangles:

This gentlemanly mister isn't used to being at a shelter and is a bit confused about why he's no longer at home. Who wouldn't be? He doesn't know it, of course, but Mr. B. is the unfortunate victim of career advancement and relocation.

For regular visitors to our website, you may remember "Melkat" (Martin Luther Kat) who spent some time with us last year.

Poor Mister Bojangles.

Wylie:

This handsome tuxedo is quite an armful, but a very lovable armful and a classic guy.

He's also the largest cat in the world.

Moxie:

It's great to see you back Foxy Moxie!

Moxie looks kind of drunk in every one of those pictures.

Moxie doesn’t have a tail. The veterinarian who performed the operation calls him her “manufactured Manx!” For quite some time, vets thought he had food allergies because he kept biting at the top of his tail. Finally, his current doc diagnosed cauda equina, a rare disorder affecting the bundle of nerve roots at the lower end of the spinal cord. Since his surgery over a year ago, he has been totally fine and has no trouble running, jumping, or doing any other cat activities that require balance.

Rosie:

Looks big and scared, kind of like when Kitty runs in when it starts to thunder.

Noah:

Sometimes when you pet Noah inside his enclosure, he gives you that strange open-mouth look called the "flehmen" look. He's just studying the new smell presented to him, not getting ready to bite your hand off!

Why is it called the 'flehmen' look?

With insatiable curiosity, I wikipedia'd it. It's not just some crazy PAWS word they made up.
