Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2007Shadow
I think Shadow was in the house again last night, I got up in the night to go to the bathroom I think he must have been asleep some where and I woke him because I heard the flap go with a bang. I know it wasn't Snoopy or Baggy, I suppose it could have been another cat but I hope it was Shadow. I'm almost certain he's never been a house cat, he probably comes from one of the nearby farms, I think he's made great progress so far, which since he was neutered seems to be quicker. I'm still letting him set the pace but hopefully sometime he'll be part of the family.

Cats! Dunno about yours, but too often that "bump in the night" is a leap onto my sleeping body! (Followed by a second, since it usually occurs during a game of "tag" in the wee small hours.) >>>I think Shadow was in the house again last night, I got up in the >>>night to go to the bathroom I think he must have been asleep some [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > it usually occurs during a game of "tag" in the wee small > hours.) ouch! ouch! >I think Shadow was in the house again last night, I got up in the night to >go to the bathroom I think he must have been asleep some where and I woke [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > he was neutered seems to be quicker.

Hope Snoopy and Baggy aren't too offended. We had a visit from two of our local tomcats yesterday, very genial together. It's always kind of funny because my boyz are horrified by them, and the boys outside, in almost any weather, seem thoroughly laid-back and unperturbed. "Dude-- relax! Chill! There's plenty of territory for all of us!" they seem to say, while Stinky yells "Come over here, I dare ya!" I hardly ever see stray or feral queens around here-- just good-natured, big-headed tomcats. Makes me wonder where they come from. Maybe they bud. ;) Purrs that it happens more often and for longer periods of time.

I'm rooting for him to take up the family life sooner rather than later! Susan M Otis and Chester Got this from a friend and thought it might apply to Shadow. TIRED CAT A tired-looking cat wandered into the yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home. He followed me into the house, down the hall, and fell asleep in a corner. An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out. The next day he was back, resumed his position in the hall, and slept for an hour. This continued for several weeks. Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: "Every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap." The next day he arrived with a different note pinned to his collar: "He lives in a home with ten children -- he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?" >> I think Shadow was in the house again last night, I got up in the night >> to go to the bathroom I think he must have been asleep some where and I [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Susan M > Otis and Chester Sorry the dog didn't get changed to cat in the last part. > Got this from a friend and thought it might apply to Shadow. > TIRED CAT [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] >> Susan M >> Otis and Chester That did make me think of Smokey (RB) he would sometimes go next door for a rest. My neighbour pretended not to like cats, one day he said to me "that blooming cat of yours" I said "what about him?" he said "he's been asleep on my bed for the last three hours" I miss them both, my neighbour was only 65 when he died. :-( SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your heart http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk > Sorry the dog didn't get changed to cat in the last part. > That did make me think of Smokey (RB) he would sometimes go next door for a > rest. My neighbour pretended not to like cats, one day he said to me "that > blooming cat of yours" I said "what about him?" he said "he's been asleep on > my bed for the last three hours" I once went round a friends mums house and in the middle of the floor in front of the fire was a huge ginger cat, stretched out in front of the fire sound asleep excluding all the other cats and when I complimented her on this magnificent feline, she said "He's not mine, I think he lives a few doors down but he comes in here every afternoon for a sleep" Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs I'm certain that Shadow is a feral, I first saw him about five years ago eating cold potatoes that I'd put out for the birds. At first he would run away even from someone looking out of the window, gradually he got more tame and now lives in the Summer House where he has a cosey bed and gets fed every day. I had him neautered earlier this year and he's improved more quickly since then, he accepts pettings now but hasn't purred yet, I'm sure he will sometime in 2008.

I've had a couple of cats (never homeless or mistreated, SFAIK) who NEVER purred! They'd cuddle, lapsit, and apparently enjoy petting, but nary a purr!
