Mr Whiskers and TTouch

Last year I began training to be a TTouch practitioner. This is a wonderfully respectful and powerful animal training used to improve performance, behavior and health of pets ( and many other animals as well!). It has been a very joyful journey so far. I have met wonderful people and so many animals--mainly cats--have come into my life. I'm just going with it for now. Mr Whiskers here is one example. He has taken up residence on Carol's porch. She began feeding him and then he brought a friend, Ms Patches who's since given birth to three stunning kittens who have been adopted (more on them later). So Mr Whiskers has gone from protector role to loner. He has soft, broken sounding meow. He loves Carol and is dying to go inside but she has allergies to cats and so has decided he needs to stay on the porrch. He sits outside her door for long periods of time waiting for her to emerge. Mostly he seems to like to be fed, but more and ore now he is craving attention. He has a very nice chair with a special blanket and a hut for colder days, but he really wants companionship. Late at night she hears him playing with the cat toys that are scattered on the porch. Once in a while he has to give over his food to the neighborhood racoon, once in a while a neighbor's dog tries to chase him off the porch. We are holding high hopes for a loving home for Mr Whiskers.
