Every rescue cat has his or her own story, a previous life history that's often unknown before landing in the hands of a shelter or rescue. While little is known about the early life of now four-year-old Zeki, a Turkish Van mix, one terrible fact stands out: as a kitten she was partially skinned with a hunting knife by an unknown assailant in Dallas. Found by a Good Samaritan, the road to recovery was marked with surgery and recovery.

Eventually Zeki (Turkish for "clever and courageous&quot found her way to the home of Arden Moore, pet author, radio host, and pet expert who also teaches pet safety. But Arden doesn't just teach pet safety using models and dummies. She calls on her fellow teaching teammate: Zeki.

Whether teaching a class at the Cat Writers Association or delivering a cat behavior talk at the Pet Sitters International Conference, Arden works side-by-side with her cat, who Moore says "has never met a stranger or been in a strange place. She is outgoing, friendly, curious and definitely motivated by her favorite food on the planet: deli turkey." Future travel plans will take Zeki to BlogPaws in Las Vegas for pet first aid demonstrations.

Zeki's role is definitely hands-on. "I'm one of a dozen or so active certified master pet first aid/CPR instructors with Pet Tech, the world's premiere hands-on, veterinarian-approved program," explains Moore. "Thom Somes, The Pet Safety Guy, and founder of Pet Tech, says Zeki is the first feline teaching assistant in the program's 15-year history.

Part of me is happy the cat is safe, part of me wants to get my hands on that sick bastard!
