Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2005Abelard here for lunch!
He just walked in the door, demanding shrimpies, which he is eating as I type. Now, I think when he leaves I will follow him ;) > He just walked in the door, demanding shrimpies, which he is eating as I > type. > > Now, I think when he leaves I will follow him ;) He will fool you, though. Just as you have followed him for a long way he will disappear into thin air! I tell you, it's a b*st*rd cat trick. Ignore his capers and pretend you don't care. No shrimpies for naughty Abelard. He is winding you right round his little toe ;-) and doesn't he just know how to do it! Tweed > > He just walked in the door, demanding shrimpies, which he is eating as I > > type.

He looked so thin this time.... and the shrimpies were not going to keep much longer in the fridge. My freezer for some reason does not work in the summer. >> > He just walked in the door, demanding shrimpies, which he is eating as >> > I [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > much longer in the fridge.

Oh, poor Abelard, who knows quite well where he can get fed when he is fed up with roaming around and enjoying himself in the out and the good weather! He's a bad lad - or at least he's doing what cats do - taking advantage of you. He is not lost and obviously knows where home is. Try not to worry about him and let him come and go. You may or may not have lost your snuggly cat, wait and see. Colder weather might see him right back in your bed. I hope so. Tweed >He looked so thin this time.... and the shrimpies were not going to keep >much longer in the fridge. My freezer for some reason does not work in the >summer. A freezer that doesn't work in the summer... is a pretty bad freezer! It's a bastard freezer trick. It's too bad you can't tell Abelard to take provisions with him for these little field trips. I hope he doesn't get lost. >> > He just walked in the door, demanding shrimpies, which he is eating as I >> > type.

May he always think of home as the place where one can get scritches and shrimpies.

Sounds to me as though he may have conned some of your neighbors into thinking he's THEIR cat! > > He just walked in the door, demanding shrimpies, which he is eating as I > > type. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > he may have conned some of your neighbors into thinking he's > THEIR cat! He's looking thinner than ever (and he's always been very thin). The only neighbor within range of a cat is Gloria, and he never goes to her house. There are four large dogs and two cats at her house. > > > He just walked in the door, demanding shrimpies, which he is eating as I > > > type.

Pat, really don't mean to be looking for problems but his thinness plus his increased restlessness is making me wonder if he has an overactive thyroid? Christine > Pat, really don't mean to be looking for problems but his thinness plus his > increased restlessness is making me wonder if he has an overactive thyroid? Abyssinians are generally thin. I'm sure this one has lost weight from staying out too long. When he stays home and I feed him what he likes, regularly, he picks up some weight. BTW he has come back this evening and I have him on my lap!!! Oh Hooray! At least now you know that his absences are by his choice. Also that he does know where his home and comfort are. They really are selfish little things...... says I who hasn't seen Percy since Sunday. Marion >> He just walked in the door, demanding shrimpies, which he is eating as I >> type. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >he may have conned some of your neighbors into thinking he's >THEIR cat! I remember once reading an account of a lady who started feeding a "stray" cat in the neighborhood. After a few weeks, it started getting rather plump, and she wondered if it was pregnant. Then it showed up one day, wearing a collar with a note attached, "Please call this number if you have been feeding this cat." The lady who answered the phone said, "You're the fifth person who has called so far!". Evidently the furry little con-artist had half the people on the block feeding her. SignatureJohn F.

Even Spotty, who was so very thin when I brought her inside, was being fed by at least two of my neighbors. She may have been someone's cat at some point, someone who didn't want to be bothered when she turned up pregnant. Another possibility is that she never really had a home, but was semi-socialized since several people here in the neighborhood feed all comers.
