Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / May 2005Goodbye, Mr. Bathroom Cat
I just let him go. I figured he was feeling ok because he hissed at me and charged the gate of the pet porter. So I opened the gate and stepped back into the house. He looked at me through the slats in the side of the pet porter as though he was wondering if this was yet another trick. Then he took off -- at a brisk pace, but not a full-on run. He is free to do his own thing and I will never bother him again. He is a fine, healthy animal and I wish him well. I made sure he knows where to come find food if he wants it.

Do not QUOTE me so that pussyfaced Diane Schirf can see my posts! She has me killfiled. She is very fragile, you know. :) woah I missed all that, I just caught your last post.

Well, you can like Schirf, but I don't. I never mind being killfiled. However, Diane flaunts her killfile, and although she *has* me killfiled, still snipes at me. Way pussified and I mean that not in the usual good pussy way. :) > > > > > You did a good thing getting him neutered, esp since he did turn > > out to [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > still snipes at me.

About Di, I keep seeing different names, I was too tired, but I am sure I saw slickwy under some slam!! about abusing my precious...which we know I ain't so. She sent me an email, and asked if I was confusing her with -L, ??? I know if I dug up those posts, I'd see, she was standing there with a handful of rocks. xxx > > > > > > You did a good thing getting him neutered, esp since he did > turn [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Im bad...Im trying to get something started...Im a bad man... :) > About Di, I keep seeing different names, I was too tired, but I am sure > I saw slickwy under some slam!! about abusing my precious...which we > know I ain't so. After years of posting as Diane Schirf, Hobbes' mom has suddenly decided to just use Diane. Heh. > She sent me an email, and asked if I was confusing her with -L, ??? I can see the resemblance, lately. > I know if I dug up those posts, I'd see, she was standing there with a > handful of rocks. > > xxx That's okay, you don't have to take sides. We all have our opinions. I just have more respect for those who have the guts to be straightforward. I don't take anything here personally. If I did I might become like one of these warped out old ladies who have come to think a Usenet group is their private domain. 8) > I know if I dug up those posts, I'd see, she was standing there with a > handful of rocks.

So I opened the gate and [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > >sounds like a silly question, but you never expanded on it. I have a bright yellow pet food dish. I set it on the porch in view of the cat while he was still in captivity. A few minutes before releasing him, I popped a can of Friskies and put it in the dish. He ran past it when he departed, but I just woke up (2 a.m.) and I can see that someone has eaten it. I have little doubt it was him. It was too bad I kept him in the bathroom for so long, and unnecessarily at that, but I think the saga has ended well. I am delighted to be rid of him. Charlie > I have a bright yellow pet food dish.

You had no way of knowing that he was a boy and not a pregnant female. You did the right thing. > I just let him go.

Any sign of the mama cat or babies? I saw her the other day. As for the kittens, they are out in the woods somewhere, and I probably won't see them until it is too late to tame them. I'll trap and spay, trap and neuter, and try to beat the cycle to the extent I can. Non-breeding ferals are hardly undesirable on this property, because I like to have predators for the rodent population. My next-door neighbor will shoot them on sight, I'm sure, but I can't do much about that. Charlie I am sure he thanks you in his own way. You did good. Signature.oO rach Oo. >I just let him go.

I know that walk. I TNRd cats in my neighborhood and it was the hardest thing for me to let them go. There was no other choice though. :( To see a cat that you cared enough about to see to his/her well-being (but not able to find a home for them) walk away, turn around and look back at you, is just heart-wrenching. > He is free to do his own thing and I will never bother him > again. He is a fine, healthy animal and I wish him well. I > made sure he knows where to come find food if he wants it. Congrats on the TNR Charlie. I hope he continues to come back for food and maybe even companionship. SignatureCheryl "The clever cat eats cheese and breathes down rat holes with baited breath." - W.C.

Thanks for giving us a little testosterone tonic every now and then, Charlie. :) Good luck, Mr. BC. I hope he comes back for food! I'm sure he appreciated have food available to him every day, even though he never thanked you. I'll keep this short, I know you have a bathroom to clean... Rhonda > I just let him go.

You're a good man, Charlie, and you've done well by Mr. Bathroom Cat. Priscilla >> I just let him go. I figured he was feeling ok because he hissed at >> me and charged the gate of the pet porter.

Charlie > >You're a good man, Charlie, and you've done well by Mr. Bathroom Cat. > > Thanks. These days I need an activity to validate my existence, since > I'm not working much. So, whatcha going to use for that now that Mr. BC has gone back to the wild? ;-) Priscilla >> >You're a good man, Charlie, and you've done well by Mr. Bathroom Cat. >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >Priscilla I have the little cat I scraped off the road a couple of months ago, and he turned out to be a wonderful pet. I thank my lucky stars I came along when I did. I could have canvassed shelters for days and not gotten such a friendly, fun-loving feline. Also, there is another feral hanging about, the one I meant to trap in the first place. I need to get her spayed. I am afraid she had a litter already, so that probably means more ferals who will also need spaying, unless the coyotes get them. I think the mortality amongst wild kittens is quite high. I should probably look for more work, but I'm lazy... Charlie |
