Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2005SOS - we're under attack,,,
by minature furballs led by my arch nemesis, the evil Spot kitty. The attack began yesterday while Momma LB and I were in the big Out with the hoomin. The evil Spot waited until I was distracted, then led the attack with a charge against Momma (who everyones is a big coward, anyway), with one of the minature creatures as backup. Before I could counterattack the stupid hoomin scooped me up and locked me inside. Our best guess, that is me and Momma, is that the evil Spot has developed some new type of mind control and subverted the hoomin. Anyway, since yesterday Momma and I have been under seige. All we could do watch watch as the hoomin slid further under the Evil Spot's control and her reinforcements arrived. At first there was just the one furball, but before long two more arrived, and sometime during the night a four arrived. Momma says the furballs are kittens and he's developed a severe case of KF. I have my doubts about that theory. The hoomin is always saying I'm the "Bestest Ever Kitten!" and these things are all minature little puffballs. Today things went from bad to worse. They somehow took control of the hoomin again. He locked Momma and me in the room where the hoomin sleeps. While we were locked up he let the Evil Spot and the furballs inside to explore OUR castle. LB: don't forget the litterbox - tell them about the litterbox! S: Quiet, I'm just getting to that. While they were exploring the castle, the Evil Spot creature made an extremely stinky deposit in OUR litterbox. LB: Not only made a deposit, but left it UNCOVERED! Totally unexceptable. S: Mmoommm!!! This is not the time for you to go into your Litterbox Etiquette lectures. Anyway, this smacks of some type of chemical or biological weapon of mass destruction. Luckily, even the extremely INsensitive hoomin's nose smelled this vile attack, covered it up, then scooped it up and put it in the airtight used litter can. We're in danger of being overrun by the Spot creature and her minions. Please send any reinforcements and/or advice ASAP, as I'm not sure how long Momma and I can hold out. Sammy (who has temporarily regained control of the hoomin to send this SOS - remember us in your purrs, I'm not sure how long we can hold out) Hoomin note: Yes I changed the plan a little, and let Spot and the kits into the livingroom this afternoon after locking Sammy and LB in the bedroom. We had some storm warnings this afternoon, so I wanted the kits to come in and explore enough so that they wouldn't freak out if I decided to bring them in out of the weather. I had thought I'd keep Spot outside, but the kits wouldn't venture in without her. So I locked up the girls, opened the sliding door and put a plate of food down by the door. Once Spotty came inside to eat, the kits came inside, ate, and explored for awhile. Once the sun went down and storm danger was past, so I made sure all the kits were OUT and let the girls out of the bedroom. They were NOT amused to find all the strange smells in the living room.

My dear Sammy, I feel for you. I really do. My hoomin brought home one of those kitten beings, and she's been annoying me and Frank while insinuating herself with the hoomin so she's completely besotted with the little tart (the hoomin with the kitten, you see). I can't imagine having to deal with four of them at the same time. My advice is, just keep your ground and show them who's the boss around there, and then you can start training them to be *your* minions. (Frank is as useless at this as your mother. I have to do everything myself around here.) Sincerely Yours with Purrs, Nikki SignatureMarina, Frank, Nikki, and Mere 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 > > by minature furballs led by my arch nemesis, the evil Spot kitty. > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ > and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki First my hoomin took Isadora to the TED, and carelessly LEFT her there, and hasn't gone back for her yet. Then about six weeks later, she brings home this TEENAGER and makes me live with the creature. Okay, that wasn't so bad. She sometimes helps me wash parts of myself I find hard to reach, anymore. But then that little tart hauls off and has a KITTEN a month later! I know how the URGE can overwhelm one sometimes, but what a little...... nevermind. It wasn't so bad when the kitten was little, but she has EXPANDED. And now she's a right little bully. I can hardly take naps in peace, anymore, and I frequently have to tell this little puff ball who seduced my formerly obedient hoomin who is boss, around here. Tonight, I ate part of my supper, intending to come back for a snack later, when I found those little hussies had FINISHED it! And my hoomin wonders why I'm grumpy, sometimes?? Not very astute, are they? And FAR too easily influenced by that odious quality called Kewt. I am yours in disilllusionment, and I hope your hoomin will soon return to his right mind.

(Frank is as useless at >this as your mother. I have to do everything myself around here.) ewww, I really feel sorry for you. You mean your hoomin actually lets the thing run loose to torment you. I guess we're lucky that we still have enough control over our hoomin that, so far at least, he's kept them in another room with a closed door between them and us. Don't really know how much longer we can hold out, as I heard him telling the Evil Spot that the furballs couldn't come in until they had been "vetted". Not sure what "vetted" means, but momma says it means going to TED. Maybeif they go to TED he can fix whatever is broken (though when I went TED fixed something that wasn't broken and left me with a bald belly that itched something fierce until my pretty fur started growing back). Anyway, he said that yesterday, and still let them come in today just because the TV made the beep beep sound that happens before the thunder booms sometimes. Momma says we'll be lucky if they didn't leave fleas behind like Rocky did when he first started coming in from the OUT. She told me not to scratch even if I have an itch, or we'll get some of that bad smelling stuff put on our necks. The good news is that I overheard the hoomin talking to one of the other hoomins who live on the other side of one of the doors here in our building. He was asking if she knew anyone who would like a kitten, and she said someone at her workplace does. So, maybe at least one of the furballs will be leaving soon.

Are you going to keep Spot and/or her bits? No. Unfortunately, the apartment owners/management are not pet friendly. In fact, some folks probably remember that when the current owners bought the place they first wanted to enforce the no pet policy (it was already in place with the old owners, but they were pet friendly and only enforced the policy with problem tenants). I gave notice that I was moving, and after negotiation they agreed to let anyone who had pets keep them (after paying a pet deposit), but no new pets and the no pets policy would be strictly enforced for new tenants. It was sort of a long drawn out negotiation. them: no pets me: I'm moving. them: OK, you can keep one cat and get rid of the other me: Guess I'll start looking for a new place. them: Ok you can keep both cats, but they have to be declawed me: I printed out a bunch of antideclaw info, and told them I had found a more pet friendly complex them: Alright, you can keep both cats and not declaw them, but they have to be spayed and you have to pay a separate pet deposits for each one. me: Well, they're already spayed and I haven't put down a deposit at the new place, so let me go get my checkbook. Truth is I really wanted to stay and hadn't actually looked elsewhere. I don't really know if they'd say anything if I decided to keep Spot or any of her babes since they've since decided I'm a pretty good tenant (they leave me the keys and authority to call the electrician, plumber, etc when they go out of town). I think I have homes for three of the kits now, so just have to rehome Spot and the last kit. (I'd really like to see Spot and Shadow homed together, he's a real momma's boy.) If I do decide to keep any of them, I'd probably keep Cali, the only little girl. She's the one with an orange ear and black/orange striped tail. I caught them last night when it started raining and brought them inside. When I dried them off (they were all soaked), she was the only one who started to purr.

Seven days. Felix, trying to help Signature"The universe is quite robust in design and appears to be doing just fine on its own, incompetent support staff notwithstanding. :-)" - the Dennis formerly known as (evil), MCFL Me three, Nikki and Panther. And I think I can speak for Jasper as well, Since that skinny, grubby little thing residing in our garage made her presence felt, the hoomins have been behaving very oddly indeed. Out in the garage umpteen times a day, extra food ..... where will it end? And to add insult to injury they've let her in the house, keeping myself and Jasper closeted outside of the lounge while she flits about leaving her scent everywhere. And what thanks do we get - if one of us goes to the garage to see how she is, we just get sworn at. I know my life was tough when I was a young girl, but you'd never hear me using language like that! No respect, these youngsters. Still, I see from reading the e-mails on the computer that she's going to see TED this weekend - that'll really give her something to swear about, won't it? SignatureCarrie Dear Sammy, Poor little Spotty meowmy has protected her bitties for weeks while they were too young to take care of themselves. She's gone without sound sleep so that she could keep an eye out for nasty predators. Finally she decided she needed to take them somewhere safe so that she could rest a bit and gain her strength and she took them to the one place she knew would be safe - your Paw. I know its hard for you to have to share your space and your Paw with these tiny puffs of invasion but they can be fun if you just accept them and besides, you can get into all kinds of trouble that you normally wouldn't and blame it on them.
