Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2005Guest Kitty
I mentioned a stray kitten a few days back, well here it is: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/will_stock/detail?.dir=/8c08&.dnm=b133.jpg&.src=ph I was concerned about being a cat napper at the time, but so far it's turned into more of a home invasion. We've been letting it sleep in the basement at night with the window open. But it's always sleeping on the back porch in the morning. It was outside today, but wanted back in right away. It's a real cuddlebug, but is also very timid. It seems to have suffered a recent trauma. It will be getting it's chip checked (unlikely) and blood tests next week. It's been doing a lot of sleeping, not energetic like most kittens. You can see from the pic it's a striped Calico with BIG ears. It looks to be about six months. I can't tell if the mark on it's nose is natural or an injury. It's possible it's pregnant, but we're hoping not. It seems to be in very good shape for a stray, so it's either a recent drop off or a lost kitty. We've been keeping our eyes on the paper and will canvas the neighbours. There were five kittens bouncing around this spring, three Calicos and a couple of Tabbies. I tried to catch them without success. It's unlikely this is one of them though, as it's too well looked after. although it is a little distrusting of people. > I mentioned a stray kitten a few days back, well here it is: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/will_stock/detail?.dir=/8c08&.dnm=b133.jpg&.src=ph > I was concerned about being a cat napper at the time, but so far it's > turned into more of a home invasion.

I love her stripey calico colours! She looks truly at home.

Certainly looks happy!!!! and cute. I hope all the tests come back good. > I mentioned a stray kitten a few days back, well here it is: > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > this is one of them though, as it's too well looked after. although it is > a little distrusting of people. She is sweeet!!! American short hair mixed tabby like my TuTu. She definitely is cuddle bug material. Good luck.

Aww, what a pretty girl. She looks like she's making herself at home.

I was thinking of asking the group for names, but that will have to wait a couple of weeks until we're sure of her disposition. At this point it looks good, she has no desire to leave. The only concern I have is her lack of HooliKittenism, seems rather strange for a kitten her age. maybe she's just adapting to her surroundings. She doesn't seem to have any concept of play. I suppose this could be a symptom of her outdoor life. > By the way, I looked at other pix in your album.

I noticed that when I reread the message. I guess I don't want to get too attached, in case we find her owner. The other concern is her relations with "the girls". So far it's been fairly peaceful, but not a lovefest either. > -- > Adrian (Owned by Snoopy and Bagheera) > A House is not a home, without a cat. > http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk > I mentioned a stray kitten a few days back, well here it is: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/will_stock/detail?.dir=/8c08&.dnm=b133.jpg&.sr c=ph > I was concerned about being a cat napper at the time, but so far it's turned > into more of a home invasion.

She's beautiful. I love the rest of the pics of your kitties, too. I see you have another calico. The Queen. :) SignatureCheryl >> It's a real cuddlebug, but is also very timid.

I see > you have another calico. The Queen. :) Thanks. The new kitrty is a bit of a canundrum. Eats like a horse. I was trying to feed Cali her treats today and Cleo kept sticking her head in front of Cali to try and hoover them up first. Cali was most tolerant of this impudence. :) Seems to be leary of other cats, smack first and ask questions later. Although she did share a window with Cali today. Cali has had kittens in the past, so she understands the youth thing a little better. Very subdued, doesn't seem to play much. Although she has shredded Smokey's favourite Lemon, looks like a it was through a tree chipper. She has also destroyed a scratching circle, a couple of mousies (toy) and tried to climb my back. :) We also had a rousing game of string yesterday. Sleeps alot. Has a mild case of fleas, but no apparent worms. No hairball issues. Very clingy, cries if I'm out of site for more than a few minutes. Even if she's the one who wandered off. :) VERY good about the litter box, only had to show her once. No real desire to go back outside, except to watch the birdies. She was out a few days ago and a Blue Jay was a few feet away and she did not pounce. Although we did find a disembowelled mouse on the deck soon after she first started showing up. It seems she must have been in a house at some point, but we can't be certain. No ads for her in the paper or on the web so far though. >>> It's a real cuddlebug, but is also very timid.
