Your daily cat and kitten news

[Calamity1971]

Anyway... After posting about Charlie's visit to the vet (she seemed to think knock because no sign of sting mark donkyboy)
I went to the shops, coming down a 60 limit not far from me a kitty was pelting towards me on the edge of the road. I pulled into a layby but no sign. Jumped over farmers gate and got chased by Mr big sheep and his mates. Shit my pants.


Went back in the dark with food and shouted puss for an hour when it appeared.
Passing security guard seen me struggling with a wriggling skinny waif next to road an gave me a lift.
Now in house and it's a Mexican stand off with Charlie! Anyone want a cat?

God it's so skinny

 

[Epona]

Doesn't look that skinny (trust me, I cared for anorexia famine cat for months), just looks young. Are you sure you didn't nick a cat?

The one with it head appearing behind the fronts one's bum looks like a sheep whose pint you wouldn't spill.

Also looks pretty clean with a handsome coat. Do get him/her/it checked for a chip please. If not ... enjoy your new ginger overlord.

I live remote and it's none of my neighbours. Only one house apart from that for miles and I went and knocked they have a spayed cat.
That pic doesn't capture its real weigh. Going to vets tomorrow to get it scanned, but my bet is that it has been dumped.
Charlie and milly not impressed with ginger behind me hissing in the bathroom sink

Gonna be a long night.
Milly adopting a more chilled pose for the occasion.

 

[trabuquera]

Oh my, their faces. "What the FUCK?"

 

[Calamity1971]

Things have quietened down. Ginger has found sanctuary in the bathroom after nervously shitting in the sink.
My roasting pan is now a litter tray

My fleece now a temporary bed.

Im goosed, but so happy that she/he? Didnt succumb to that road.

Charlie's face is all
"wtf mummy "

Millie is just stunned by Ginger...and then decides to be non chalant and mean against the door. "I'm cool. I'm not worried. No not me. Well, maybe just a teensy bit"

Ginger is looking very calm and collected.

 

[Calamity1971]

Had kitty looked over. She's not chipped. Underweight but not that much I should worry. Vet has sent an email to other vets in case someone is missing her. If not then it's spaying and chipping. Think I may have another lovely mouth to feed.
Not naming her yet just in case, give it two weeks and I may need suggestions.

^ you're a good cat rescuer Calamity1971 . Just make sure Millie & Charlie don't rip the new girl to shreds and then you can give her a fancy new name after a few weeks if you keep her.

 

[Calamity1971]

Milly couldnt care less, but I'm keeping my eye on Charlie who seems a little displeased with her gingerness. I'm already attached to what's her name. She likes to travel on my shoulder.

Is that a rock or an upturned bowl in front of Molly?

Hot cat.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

I've noticed clean food bowls a bit a recently. Which is fairly unusual, but didn't think much of it. Heard Odin coming downstairs yesterday (the bell), except it wasn't Odin, but the other cat. Didn't even seem that nervous and then went and stood by the bowl looking for food. A confident bugger, I'll give him that. We have a cat flap which works on their chips, but with all the hot weather doors and windows are left open. Really suprised ours don't have more to say about it all.

 

[stavros]

I finally got to tickle to tummy of one of the cats I meet on my way to work this morning. He was suffering in the heat and really seemed to enjoy the attention. Fat as fuck and built like an arctic lorry, but still very cute.

Missy has returned to her total ambivalence towards rain. Snow spooks her a bit, but she's happy to get totally sopping before wiping herself off on my legs.

Busted again.



We've nicknamed him Sid, after the star of that wonderful book I had as a kid, Six Dinner Sid.

Talk about guilt written all over his face.

Partner has been reading up about de-matting scrufface Molly and saw something about coconut oil on the fur
unbeknown to me they went upstairs and got the coconut oi out which Molly then proceeded to drink from the jar!!
apparently "it's good for them" ?
is this true?

It's new to me but it makes sense - once I'd checked that coconut oil is not toxic to cats - and yes some vets (and hippies) recommend it for softening fur/mats, or for giving by mouth to shift hairballs through a cat's system. BUT - the ones that say do this, prescribe about a spoonful a day, not drinking it neat from the jar the little glutton ... in excess I suspect it might make her puke or just give her a really oily dose of the runs. Or maybe she'll thrive on it, what do I know....
