Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2007Passing stranger - redux
I saw the gorgeous dark Siamese again today ... in my computer room. He didn't look as good as he did a few days ago - I think he hadn't been eating until he figured out my difficult (possum proof) cat flap. Since this was about feeding time, most of my cats were inside - they seemed confused, but not hostile. I think he's looking for a home. I hope he finds one somewhere else - I do *not* need another cat.  SignatureT.E.D.

What is his name? :-) Yowie >>I saw the gorgeous dark Siamese again today ... in my computer room. >> He didn't look as good as he did a few days ago - I think he hadn't [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >Congratualtions on your new cat. What is his name? :-) I don't want another cat - I have exceeded my limit with the current fifteen. I don't know where he is right now, but if he wants to stay here, he can. The next male name on the list is Dan - but I would then need two females for go with it: Mab and Alexsi (that portion of the list is the cast list for "Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures" <http://www.missmab.com/cast.php> - highly recommended web comic).

Siamese are wonderful cats. Purrs that you help him find a real home.

If he's hungry, thin and neglected and in your house, he's home... it sounds like the poor baby needs some TLC and he's chosen you to provide it :) >>I saw the gorgeous dark Siamese again today ... in my computer room. >>He didn't look as good as he did a few days ago - I think he hadn't [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >sounds like the poor baby needs some TLC and he's chosen you to >provide it :) Well, he's not inside now - he bolted. But he does know where the food is and how to get to it. And that the resident cats are not hostile, though I suspect that Spot, the semi-resident feral tom will be if they meet. SignatureT.E.D.

So now you've got a new cat you'll have to think of a name for him. <eg> SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy and Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your heart. http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk |I saw the gorgeous dark Siamese again today ... in my computer room. | He didn't look as good as he did a few days ago - I think he hadn't [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] | seemed confused, but not hostile.

Maybe you should apply for a grant to establish a cat sanctuary. >|I saw the gorgeous dark Siamese again today ... in my computer room. >| He didn't look as good as he did a few days ago - I think he hadn't [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >Face it, Ted, you're a cat magnet. Maybe you should apply for a grant to >establish a cat sanctuary. Well, maybe the food bowl is a cat magnet - it was a possum and coon magnet until I solved the vermin-proof cat flap problem. But of the cats that have taken up here on their own, he's the only one that isn't feral and the only one that has come inside (possums used to come inside). He's quite tame. This morning he was on the window shelf in the mud room (close to the food). He let me pet him, and I noticed something I've never seen before: spotted or striped whiskers. This morning's pictures are in <http://67.54.246.139:9000/tdavis/cats/0703/> The third one is the closeup of the whiskers (actually a crop of the full size version of the first one). SignatureT.E.D.

I couldn't get to the pictures, but Jakes individual whiskers are multicolored as well. Maybe a meezer trait. Jo OK got the picture. Definitely seal point. Chocolates are "browner". He looks very much like Jake only his eyes are a bit darker blue and of course the jowls. Jakes eyes are very light. More like glacier ice.

He's stunning. If he's so friendly, maybe he's just lost? Have you checked him for a tattoo? He is a real looker.

He is a real looker. He doesn't want to be handled - he hisses when I try. He let me pet him but nothing beyond that. SignatureT.E.D.

He is so lovely and (was) well fed that I think his slaves might be desperate about where he is.

If he stays, or comes back and stays, he will have to be checked over by the vet - I assume the vet can do that. However, chips are not popular in this area. SignatureT.E.D.

A fully endowed Siamese tom without a proper upbringing can be a real handful and quite a challenge. Get one with a streak of mean and they can be downright scary for a non cat person. Our Sam killed and dragged home full grown jackrabbits. And this was after he lost the use of one leg. He also slept in my daughters crib from the time she was a few weeks old and raised a newborn puppy with just some help from us when it had to be fed. I know you will do your best by him, and can allow him to be whatever cat he is. I'm glad he found you, and hope he finds his one true home, wherever it is meant to be.

Given that you said you lived in a remote location, you are probably right. I don't understand, and will never, why people dump cats. If you don't want your cat, find a no-kill shelter to rehome it. This boy looks like Siamese purebred. He must have cost a lot of money to buy in the first place, so why not, if they did not want him any more, not advertise for a new home for him? I'm sure there would have been someone who just had a Siamese pass away that would have loved to have him. However, now he is yours :-) Tweed > <snip>I think he's looking for a home. I > hope he finds one somewhere else - I do *not* need another cat. I don't know what area you live in, but there is a "national" siamese cat rescue group. Their website is at http://www.siameserescue.org/ 15 cats is quite a few unless you live on a farm or something. Maybe these people can help you and find him a home.

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >15 cats is quite a few unless you live on a farm or something. Maybe >these people can help you and find him a home. I wouldn't call it a farm, but since 2/3 of the acrage is in hay and the yard takes four hours to mow, it probabaly is - though a small one. The cats can roam for a couple of miles to the north and west without encountering a road or other habitation, and many of them do. SignatureT.E.D.

I think you could possibly have room for a new lost Siamese boy then. Tweed (no pressure at all) >>>> <snip>I think he's looking for a home. I >>>> hope he finds one somewhere else - I do *not* need another cat. [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Tweed > (no pressure at all) Given what I know about Siamese boys, no pressure is necessary anyway. If he wants to stay he will. If he doesn't, he won't. Ted will have very little say in the matter. Jo I am not sure you will have a choice in the matter, if he figured out the flap and the others aren't hostile I think you better start picking out names, Lee > I saw the gorgeous dark Siamese again today ... in my computer room. > He didn't look as good as he did a few days ago - I think he hadn't [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > -- > T.E.D.

I haven't seen him since Friday, but Spot is hanging around and I doubt that two intact males would be here at the same time, especially when one of them is feral and sort of lives under my workshop.
