Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2004New kitty appears
I know almost all the cats in the neighbourhood and roughly where they belong. However in the past week I have seen one on my path twice that I don't recognise at all. He/she is white with black face and patches on the back, a bit like Stinky. Oh, please, send purrs that this cat already has a home. I do NOT want another cat landing here. I really have enough with the two that I've got <panic mode> I hope I haven't got one of those neon signs on the house.

Purrs for the cat to already have a home, but if s/he doesn't, it's no use fighting it, you know. KFC and BF may well have posted the sign. There's nothing you can do about it if they have. ;o)  SignatureMarina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki Purrs that th cat has a home.

Was that his first CD? Did he eat it? If so, Kitty FC is proud of him. Kitty used to catch collared doves all the time, they were definitely her preferred food. Now she has retired and spends almost all her time basking in front of the fire, she only goes out and gets one when she doesn't approve of the food I've provided. She seems to not like tuna flavoured cat food. That's the time when she needs to catch a dove. There is no danger that she will make the least effect on their population here. There are absolutely loads of them. Eighteen today in my chicken run, helping themselves to the grub. They wait until I've fed my hens, and then swoop down to help them eat it. When I go down with my bucket of layers pellets and grain, I look up into the trees, and there they are. Waiting. Talking about collared doves - or ring-necked doves as they are sometimes known in America - I have a friend in Michigan and he actually *bought* the one he's got. Amazing, they are all over the place here. Tweed Tweed "Christina Websell" <spamfree@tinawebsell.wanadoo.co.uk> had some very interesting things to say about Re: New kitty appears: >Talking about collared doves - or ring-necked doves as they are sometimes >known in America - I have a friend in Michigan and he actually *bought* the >one he's got. Amazing, they are all over the place here. Ava [my ring-neck] showed up injured on the doorstep one night and by the time she'd healed up, we'd gotten attached to her :-).

It's amazing how they've spread accross the country, the first ones in England were a pair that showed up in Norfolk in 1967, none had been seen before then. I just looked out of the window and counted 15. SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) A house is not a home, without a cat.

I have asked around the neighbourhood and discovered where the cat lives. Narrow escape ;-) <phew> Tweed yay! Christine > > Purrs for the kitty to have a good home already, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Tweed I had this situiation recently. A beautiful fluffy tabby and white cat pitched up outside my houe and kept crying to be let in & fed. He was always hanging around & I thought he was a stray. So, this evening, I tied a note around his neck that said, I'm hanging around #16 as I'm getting fed there - could my real mommy please ring and let the mommy in #16 know that I have a home? This evening, an lady turns up at my door. Turns out that the gentleman cat is called Basil, and he likes to be sociable with all the neighbours and examine all the food bowls in the area! A note around the neck is a great way to find out if the cat has a home if you don't recognise it. Helen M > I know almost all the cats in the neighbourhood and roughly where they > belong.

That's always been my experience with true strays, they won't let you near them. If a kitty is brave, comes up to me for a scritch they usually have a foreverhome nearby.

And if he tries to settle in to please kick his furry butt back out by 7pm as he is supposed to be home. For a cat that is bound and determined to get out every morning, he sure plays the homeless starving waif well at the neighbors. We can always tell when one neighbor is home from work for the day. Because Jake will go to her house and stay all day if she lets him. Or if another is ill, cause he will go in there if she is napping. She especially likes him as she really isn't able to care for a cat of her own anymore. Most everyone around here has a bowl of cat food and a bowl of water out all the time. And many leave their garage doors open a foot so cats can come and go. Jo Jo > We always have to introduce ourselves to new neighbors. To let them > know that Jake has a home - ours.

My neighbour, who was also my best friend, pretended he didn't like cats. One day he called me over the fence and said, "if you're wondering where Smokey is, he's been asleep on my bed for the last 4 hours" SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) A house is not a home, without a cat. |
