Lovely photos John popp, very lovely cats indeed, and what a difference in Selena, how long have you had her? she is a beauty, are you not tempted to home her yourself ?

Unfortunately she has issues with other pets and we have exhausted the progress we can make with her. My wife has gotten really attached to her but with some displaced aggression issues she will need to be an only pet somewhere. We’ve been working with her for around 9 months and continually failed with introductions to the boys. Our hearts are heavy, although splitting free roaming time with the boys just isn’t a good situation for anyone.

Oh that's such a shame John, I really feel for you both, it's a sad situation when your both so fond of her, I really hope you manage to get Selena settled into the ideal home. we've recently adopted a 14mth old ex stud cat(franco) he's still quarantined, just had him neutered , he's fantastic with us, infact couldn't be any more loving if he tried, but very aggressive to other cats.
Hoping that once the hormones subside we can start introductions, I'm so attached to him already and can't bare the thought of things not working out and having to re home him. We know it'll be a rocky road but we will go above and beyond to try and settle him with our boys. Fingers crossed.
Would love to hear how things turn out for Selena.
John, I know what a pain it is living with animals who have to have split roaming time. Maliik is quite happy with the arrangement. I contacted Sue about helping me rehome Atticus because he started to stalk my other F2, Juba, to the point of making him ill. It is an awful situation. My criteria for rehoming him are impossibly strict which is why he's still here but I can't in good conscience put him in anything other than what I consider a perfect situation. He's been on prozac for nearly a month which has toned down his behavior toward Juba and I'm hoping that we at least stay at this level if we can't improve more. It's been a helluva year here with vet costs in five figures for surgeries and meds. And you wonder why I drink.....

So Sorry Witchy. That’s a hard one to swallow, I know how much all your boys mean to you.
The brothers tangle some, but it never lasts long. Also if I need to break them up they just stop and start pointing paws at who started it. Dino is usually the instigator and the king of dish it out but not take it.
I can see Dooley assuming an Atticus role if a cat was frightened of him, but he tries really hard to be everyone’s friend.
Selena at half the boys size is a totally different story.

Where do I start?........ Let see...
Ok, Counselor Campbell. I will toss any charges out concerning (Br)Atticus and savandalism. I will toss out any charges regarding Withchy and enticement. Witchy has already spent a small (ahhh, rather large in my book) fortune, for damage repairs and vet bills. No matter where fault lies, Witchy has paid a price. If she wants to remodel with dubious choices, well, she ends up paying a price in the long run. This is the 225th page of (Br)Atticus's antics. Where there is smoke, ample in this case, there is some fire. I am of the opinion, Witchy's drinking issues are circumstantial, and having 4 savannahs is probably the root cause. I know first hand having four of these spotted wonders myself, and mine are fortunately relatively well behaved. I, too, have and continue to have substantial vet bills. However easy it is for you to fling out accusations, you haven't walked in her flip flops.
JP. Whatever deity shines in your life, you shall have a special place. Your compassion for felines, and their dispositions, make you a saint. Amazing job you have done with the mel! Hat's off to you! You seem to be supporting the veterinary profession heavily also. I once, tried to foster a pair of Bengals with my then crew of Savannahs. It was a gang war worthy of Chicago. I have done my time arranging the free roam time with combative sects. I know where you and Witchy are coming from.
Witchy, egads! You seem to step in it time and time again. I often wonder if you suffer from mechanical alopecia. Despite your fluid proclivities, I think you are lining up for saint hood yourself. It's bad enough you have to deal with a cat with peculiar toileting, let alone a spouse. I'm fairly certain you wished you had purchased pet health insurance years ago. (BTW, I did get insurance for R2 and Arya, I am ahead on that deal!)
All this malarkey aside, I'm recusing myself from anything (Br)Atticus related. JP, I pass this baton on to you.
I'm gonna sit down with a fine 18y.o. single malt Scotch. Witchy, JP, you in?

I'm in!!! I wish I was drinking it in the lovely hotel I stayed in on the Isle of Skye. Memories like corner of my mind, misty water color memories....
You can't toss out what hasn't yet been filed.... LOL - I guess Atticus just has a New and Sanctioned Urinal!
We can all sit in for a Drink.. LOL.. I will take a Root Bear (IBC Preferred)
