Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2008Bad morning
My aching rib made sleep difficult through the night, I tried to touch Lyle this morning (first attemp in a week) and he ran away crying for his brother and then I see this on the way to work: One cat huddles under a car and clearly a littermate dead in the road. That was bad enough but after I passed I saw the cat under the car go out to the other cat trying to get it to respond. It's 5:45 when I get into my office and I am already in a rotten mood.

You can imagine, considering how these brothers I just took in rely on each other, what I felt seeing that. There are so many feral cats (I assume feral) at that one block. It is an outer borough of New York City and not a place for cats to be outside. I hate people so much sometimes.

Just too many fertile cats without homes. Near where I live the local RSPCA catch the feral cats that live the other side of the fence and worm and flea them. They seem to stay the other side of the fence during the day though. Where my mother live a feral or stray tried to get into her house. He attacked my mothers young cat and she was waving a broom to try and get him to move, and he kept trying to run into her house ! Devilishly clever animal. I had a strange cat given to me by mistake and he would not live with me. He went to live on a farm and I found out that he was taken from one of these homes where there are loads of cats and that he did not have much contact with humans. The shelter I got him from was filthy and crowded with cats, they were like mice running around such was their number. But the woman who ran it was on a tight budget and she rescued many animals from cats-donkeys-foxes and fish. SignatureCount Baldoni > Nobody killed the cat on purpose though did they ? You can never be sure, sadly some people do just that.

I often think about Milo, it's hard to believe I lost him 4½ years ago. :-( Baggy sometimes trys to get Shadow to play with him, Shadow just looks confused.

Aw, I hope Shadow learns to play! At least it doesn't sound like he is aggressive towards Baggy. What happened to Milo was a huge shock. Hard to believe it's been so long.

I was driving on the opposite side. It was horrible because with blood coming out of his ear I had to find his owners. The woman was really upset and her husband said that it was the 4th cat to be killed. IMO that is negligent on their part and there home is just off a very busy road with just backing space and paving beteen busy road. It could have all been avoided.

I'm sure you'll be giving your pair lots of cuddles (once they allow it). >>My aching rib made sleep difficult through the night, I tried to touch >>Lyle this morning (first attemp in a week) and he ran away crying for [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > That's so sad!

You know I thought of _them_ right away. > My aching rib made sleep difficult through the night, I tried to touch > Lyle [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > already > in a rotten mood. Try not to think about it too much. It is rare that I see a cat killed by traffic on my commute to work, maybe two in 17 years but it always upsets me. I used to think about the uneaten breakfast and the owners searching. I had to stop doing that. Just concentrate on your new boys.

Lots of purrs, Polonca and Soncek |
