Chausie cats are intelligent, sweet, loyal, and energetic. Often I hear the term dog like (personality) for descriptive phrases. Most enjoy the water. For the right home and human family this domestic cat makes a perfectly charming pet.

Chausie Cats

Diana:

An interesting article - thank you for taking the time to share this info with us. LOL, funny the comparison to dogs when I know mine will chase a cat in a heart beat.

Keep up the AWESOME site

Angela,

Thank you!

The comparison to the dog is from a Chausie my daughter had many years ago. This was long before I knew what a Chausie was. When he was a young kitten, my daughter tossed a ball for him to chase, he brought the ball back to her. I was floored. She tried it again to see if we were dreaming or ??, he did it again. He loved water. He was basically very uncat like The dog and cat took turns chasing each other, it was who had the stronger attitude that particular day.

LOL, that is so CUTE

He was really a cute and neat cat. He died during surgery. My daughter, to this day, has never gotten over it. No one did a necropsy so we don't know what happened. It was a simple surgery. I suspect he may have had a heart problem we hadn't known about. She has never let herself get attached to an animal again. Her baby daughter had to have surgery a couple of weeks ago. My daughter was a basket case. I could only be with her, for her, there wasn't much I could say. The baby is fine

Diana, I totally understand about not getting "attached" - I do not do well when our pets die. I did not plan on getting attached to the 2 dogs we have, but my boyfriend's son is in the Air Force and when he gets shipped to some location where they cannot go - we get them.

I am in a long drawn out process of losing a ferret now, I thought it would of been yesterday but somehow I got her through the day. I am writing an article on the subject. I have been at her side pretty much constantly. She is all bundled up with the other two ferrets right now inside their long underwear bedding. It is COLD! The ferrets usually don't wake up for another couple of hours, so I don't know what today will bring. It is heartbreaking, I rained my tears yesterday and really don't need to get started again today, hard on writing and glasses. I would never not have an animal so that I didn't have to deal with death. It is still part of life.

I am so sorry, Diana,

We just need to cherish all these little loved ones with the shorter, faster lives.

Hugs,

Cherish I do, and I needed that hug I am still waiting for them to wake up. Their cage is right next to my desk. It still is dark outside so it will be a while yet.

Diana, we are here for you - more hugs

Thank you Angela Missy is alive and perkier she may just have avoided the reaper for awhile. I am giving her Ferretone every little bit, water, she is sleeping comfortably. The only thing difficult about having pets is losing them.

Yes, and we keep getting more

Glad to hear the good news - way to go!!!!!

She is downright lively today. I just gave her the Ferretone vitamin oil she was just as boisterous as the other two. Still feeding and watering by hand and keeping her abscess drained. Debating on taking her back to the vet, my methods seem to be working.

Way to go Dr. Diana

Angela, the news isn't good. Watch for Sundays article. Contact me via email if you would like.

How did we get on ferrets on Chausie Cats? I need a short break from life.

Diana:

I am so SORRY

Hugs your way...

Thank you Angela you're a gem
