Your daily cat and kitten news

[Saul Goodman]

There's a fairly large local problem of wild cats, and I've been trapping feral cats for the past couple of years, and paying to have them neutered/spayed, then releasing them back into the wild, but I met the head of the local TNR at the vets last week, and she said the charity would pay for the vet bills if I set the traps and took the cats to the vet, so it seems I've volunteered myself for a new job. Unfortunately, I've been asked if I could look after some of the kittens, until they're re-homed. I said "OK, no problem, but then I got home and remembered I already have 10 cats! What have I done!

My mate has done that for years. He made a cattery outside as he doesn't have them long before they are given new homes. He's in the same boat with a house full.

Not a fucking hope! (I hope!)

I honestly don't mind doing it. She said the charity would pay all the food and vet bills, and who doesn't love kittens!

Its the giving them away that would kill me.
I was considering volunteering at a local shelter but I don't trust myself to not bring half of them home.

Is Sushi a Siamese or similar, Throbbing Angel ? Agreed with all - s/he's an absolute beauty.

He's a Bengal. Too good looking if you ask me

 

[Manter]

Sushi being a dick post food shopping. The cat is most definitely in the bag.View attachment 160256

Stunning colouring

My latest house guest ‘doesn’t really like cats’

He now leaves the door open so the cats can sleep on his bed, and the cupboard door open because one quite likes sleeping on his pile of T-shirts <<eyeroll>>

He'll be hopelessly in love with her by the time he leaves!

It's cold , I'm indoors and never going out again.

 

[Calamity1971]

Just back from feeding/watering the colony. Looks like there are only two left. I hope.someone has given them homes and they've not demised.
As usual there was no sign of food and the water bowl was frozen solid .
As soon as they see me now they come running and aren't even bothered by sash.

Poor little things ... they are lucky to have you keeping an eye on them...

I was getting head bumps today. They just look like Charlie and I think that confuses sash (well that, and sash is a bit of a dick)

That's a very severe look

 

[Calamity1971]

Back down to colony again with fresh water and food. They stayed still a bit longer for photo call.
Stripey face and black face.

Black face waiting patiently until stripey rocked up.

I must sound like a right tit shouting them (in that stupid cat voice we all use)

 

[smmudge]

Omg white-tipped tails! <3

 

[xsunnysuex]

Toby toes has the right idea. That radiator is warm behind him!

 

[donkyboy]

this was just past 5 am in the morning today. the girls were waiting at the bottom of the bed for me to get up and give them their gravy. Saw Bella in the middle yawn and thought either rogue or chloe would surely follow. So held my phone up and sure enough, caught Chloe just as she opened her mouth

 

[clicker]

I really want to get George one of those sheepskin fluffy hammocks that hang off the radiator. But he's fussy, unless he thinks he's discovered a new chilling spot on his own, he will do everything to avoid it. Trying to get him used to the idea with a chair and a foot warmer. He hasn't moved for hours.
Eta he's also a bit of a lump. A lovely lump.
