Your daily cat and kitten news

[philosophical]

My two week stint of feeding feral Harry finishes tomorrow when Mick and Wendy return.
Harry has become less nervous of me, greets me nearby when I arrive with food and today even rubbed the side of his body against my leg.

Opened the bedroom window and spotted this little guy askeep in the garden.
There are very few cats around here.
Hoping to make friends and am leaving some tuna in oil out for him...

 

[Aladdin]

Marmalade guy is still there. Fast asleep.
He looked up when the postman arrived.
Didn't bat an eyelid at me putting out some tuna...just turned away and curled back into a ball of sleep.

I'm so fed up of being bothered (I'm working from home) by old women (for it is always they) who are concerned about the welfare of next door's moggy.

He sits on my doorstep looking forlorn and pathetic and in need of a vet and a good meal. Why? Because he's ancient. He's FINE. I feed him when he meows (I've agreed this with next door, knowing that they work all day and his appetite isn't on a timer) and he's on about a million different drugs and he's got no teeth so he can't really groom himself so yes, he does look odd because he gets shaved sometimes. But why on earth do people think it requires them to ring my doorbell and tell me that he 'doesn't look very well'? JUST FUCK OFF. I'M BUSY. HE JUST LOOKS LIKE AN OLD CAT.

Seriously, for a cat of nearly twenty, he's awesome. And did I mention that I'm busy?

 

[Aladdin]

Marmalade guy is tucking into the tuna. His ears are a mess. Old battle wounds maybe or some awful mange? Can mange wreck ears?
Either way I am going to have to keep a distance because of my immunocompromised state.
I may have to contact animal welfare

Marmalade cat is definitely either stray or wild.
Hisses when I am within 10 feet.
I refilled a bowl of water for him about an hour ago.
I went back inside and watched through the window..
He is well able to move and came over and sniffed the water. Kept looking at the front door.. and after 5 mins started drinking..
Then he settled back into a ball under the hedge.
I ventured out again just now and I was looking at him. He was lying there with eyes open. For a moment I thought he was dead. Then as I bent down to pour some more water in the bowl there was a lot of hissing..and glaring... He is 100% stray / wild.
And this time he ran out from under the bush and hissed and ran again....in my direction..
I hightailed it indoors cos he freaked me out a bit.
He is now gone.

Picking Billy up at 3pm. Pics when he's more settled.

Marmalade cat has not returned.
The birds in the garden are very quiet which makes me think Marmalade cat had some impact on them.

Put a sign up. “The cat is fine, he’s just elderly and is well looked after”.

Cooler King

Later put him in the living room and my mate slept on the floor next to cage. He clawed the cage about 2 foot across the room! He's a live wire.

Bit fuzzy cos he won't sit still.
I'm cat sitting and he nicked my chair when I went to make a cuppa.

 

[oryx]

Handsome boy!

He is a puss of simple tastes.

He has the choice of a fleece-lined igloo, two double beds, a sofa and two laps, and prefers a piece of cardboard!

came back this evening after a couple of days away for work

someone tried to walk off with neighbour kitteh yesterday



kitteh was having a serious nap on one of the garden benches (garden here runs alongside a public footpath and a fence that's more decorative than anything else) and he managed to pick her up and set off (he would not have got away with that if she had been a bit more awake)

a posse of neighbours rescued her - bloke in question lives further down the road. from what i can gather, he may not be quite at his best any more, and apparently did have a similar looking cat until a few years ago, and may possibly have been confused rather than malicious

I went to visit my family on Sunday. I've put on a bit of weight in the couple of months I'd last seen them and my mum suggested I should cut out sugar. I joked that shouldn't be a problem as "Lilith's sweeter than all the chocolate in the world!" in an exaggeratedly gooey voice. Mum was like "Ah, that's sick making!" My brother pretended to punch me and asked Mum "Would it be rude to make someone who's come all the way from London eat in the garden?" I told him it would be.

Vivian has got a strange injury on her head.



Doesn't really look like a bite, and the fur looks like it's been ripped out in a patch

Poor love! I'd try to wash it with a bit of saline now, and then a couple of times a day while it is healing if you can, and keep a look out for swelling, redness, heat, pus, or if it starts to smell then vet time, but hopefully it will heal by itself.

Sometimes wish they could tell us what happened, or how painful something is.

 

[Calamity1971]

Billy has been asleep all day. Poor soul must be catching up on a couple of horrible months after being dumped.
Two feliways on the go, so it's all love and peace with Frank and bf.

Stan’s back to normal now, think’s he’s a teenager again. Now the sun flowers off.
