Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2004Chocolate cat getting annoying
This new cat in the neighbourhood, I call him Chocolate because that's the colour he is all over, is getting really annoying. He comes to the house every day and every night. He sits on the patio in front of the window and meows his fool head off. Vino will come running up and sit there staring out at him and he will shut up. But Vino gets bored and leaves, and he starts up the meowing again! Vino can hardly be bothered to even look at him anymore, so he's not near the window that much. So Chocolate meows on and on and on... He even did it last night while Vino and I were trying to sleep. Vino never even budged out of bed. I kept hoping he would stop but must have fallen asleep anyhow. It seems like this guy is obsessed with Vino and cries for him. How bizarre. I mean, yeah, Vino is handsome and probably a real hottie in the cat world, but still...;-) He seems well fed, although like all the local cats, he could stand to gain a pound or 2. Might just be that they are Siamese influenced and have that skinny body type. I think he belongs to some neighbours but I can't be sure which ones. Over 200 houses in this subdivision, close together. Aaargh! -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album Get a big squirt gun. > This new cat in the neighbourhood, I call him Chocolate because that's the > colour he is all over, is getting really annoying.

It detects motion and turns on a sprinkler aimed toward the intruder. The area of coverage can be set by the user. This might convince Chocolate to stay away from your yard, and it would not hurt him. http://www.biconet.com/critter/sprinkler.html MaryL >This new cat in the neighbourhood, I call him Chocolate because that's the >colour he is all over, is getting really annoying.

Aaargh! Have you done any checkimg to make sure he isn't lost? He probably is asking you to adopt him. Are you sure "Chocolate" is a "he"? Sounds more like a smitten (unaltered) female! > This new cat in the neighbourhood, I call him Chocolate because that's the > colour he is all over, is getting really annoying.

Sounds like he's trying to invite himself. :) Joyce > > This new cat in the neighbourhood, I call him Chocolate because > > that's the colour he is all over, is getting really annoying.

Many cats in the neighbourhood have tried this. But there's no way we can do that. We still haven't even figured out how we are going to get Vino into Australia when we leave Thailand. Too big of a problem to do it with 2 cats...or even more because where will it end? -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album > > > This new cat in the neighbourhood, I call him Chocolate because > > > that's the colour he is all over, is getting really annoying.

I know sod all about cat importing from Thailand to Australia, but I do know that its relatively simple to import cats from *Canada* into Australia. If you can't import Vino (and anyone you happen to have been adopted by) istraight here, they may be able to go to Canada first, and then come here. Just a thought.

They still have to spend 6 months in Canada waiting for the rabies blood tests to become valid before travel to Aus. It's technically "house quarantine". And why my mogs had to go via the USA to come back to the UK after leaving Belize......

He [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > Yowie Yeah, I know, that's what we're planning to do with Vino. And we'll probably have to keep Vino in Canada for 6 months too. But Vino at least has a medical history with up to date rabies shots his whole life, etc. This cat has nothing and probably an owner down the street. Not to mention that it costs us over $300 to bring Vino on the airplane with us (in the cabin, don't want to put him in cargo). So we'd have to do that for the other cat, etc, etc. Plus all the shots, paperwork. Just doesn't seem like something we want to get involved in for a cat that seems reasonably well fed and healthy, just because he's decided to sleep on our patio every day. If this cat starts to seem like he's hungry or sick, we can always start feeding him outside and take him to the vet. I just don't want to steal him, I'm sure he has a home, but their idea of a home around here isn't what our idea of a home is. Can't be rescuing the other 79 or so cats in the neighbourhood who are in the same situation. -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album > > > > > This new cat in the neighbourhood, I call him Chocolate because > > > > > that's the colour he is all over, is getting really annoying.

The other 79 or so cats in the neighbourhood may very well take it into their heads to prove you wrong for no other reason than that they're cats, and *can*. Perhaps you shouldn't issue such a challenge :-) Yowie > This new cat in the neighbourhood, I call him Chocolate because that's the > colour he is all over, is getting really annoying.

Aaargh! Hmmmm. If Vino has gotten so mellow about it, maybe he's trying to tell you he wants a little brother? ;-) ------ Krista > > This new cat in the neighbourhood, I call him Chocolate because that's the > > colour he is all over, is getting really annoying.

He's just not angered by Chocolate the way that he is by Spot (the other cat who visits). He gets bored of Chocolate and leaves the room. But I can't see him wanting a little brother. Although he will definitely eventually get one, no doubt about that! But we really need to wait until we get to Australia before acquiring another cat. -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album > This new cat in the neighbourhood, I call him Chocolate because that's the > colour he is all over, is getting really annoying.

Aaargh! Congratulations on your new kitty? Yowie "Yowie" <yowie9644.DIESPAMDIE@yahoo.com.au> wrote in message > > Congratulations on your new kitty? > > Yowie Hahaha! No way, that can't happen. I mean we could potentially do a foster thing, but there's no way we'd ever get a Thai "street" cat into Australia. But he sure seems to have set up shop on our patio. He's been sleeping next to our BBQ for days now. He must have a house though, because he doesn't look like he's starving. -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album "badwilson" <*bad*wilson@yahoo.com> wrote in message > Hahaha!

If you get him all his shots and fixed etc, and take him the same route as Vino via Canada where they'll both get passports, then I can't see it being a problem. Technucally, once his been to Canada and got all the protocols sorted out there, he becomes a Canadian cat because he will have been dealt with by the authorities of a country that Australia recognises as a member of the passport scheme. Just a thought.

There are dozens upon dozens of cats in the neighbourhood. There are about 5 other cats who come to the house sometimes, some more than others. I'm sure they are "owned", but people here only keep cats outside, so they roam around. He seems fed and healthy. If it turns out he's starving or sick, I'll take care of it. -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album |
