Your daily cat and kitten news

Another Lilith lookalike!

Speaking of cats in the rain and cats with second homes, I’m pretty certain that Cat must have a second home. Ever since the rains started a few weeks ago, he has been apparently outdoors in heavy rain, but come home fairly dry, so he must have been taking shelter somewhere, presumably his second home.

However, yesterday evening when it rained heavily for a long time, he wasn’t home and I assumed he was at his second home, but he came home around midnight absolutely drenched. It doesn’t seem to bother him though. He stood and looked at me in that expectant way (“Well? Well? Are you not going to feed the returning hero?”) and didn’t even bother to shake the raindrops from his ears.

I am very disappointed that there is no accompanying photograph of the aforementioned drenched lord and master, please rectify this should the situation arise again

Ok. Am I losing the plot? I’m going to my uncle’s 80th birthday party on Saturday. It’s in Hertfordshire so I’m staying overnight. I’m not worried about Tim really. He’ll be ok. But I know he’ll miss me, because he does when I’m at work, and it really upsets me to think of how sad he’ll be when I’m not there for probably about 22 hours.

I will go. My uncle is the only one left on my dad’s side, and I haven’t seen him or my cousins in ten years. But I find myself quite sad at the thought of him not knowing where I am and whether I’ll come back.

No! It's normal. If it's only 22 hours, I bet he won't notice. As long as there's someone there to feed him he'll be fine.

 

[ddraig]

Yeah he'll need feeding and checking on later in the evening and/or first thing ideally

Yes - that's a bit long to leave a young kitteh on their own.

Some cats will be OK for a day or so if they are left with a supply of dry food and water, and in general, cats are more attached to territory than people so leaving them at home (with occasional feeding etc) is better (for most cats) than taking them with you, or putting them in cattery.

have you got someone who can call in and check he's ok / feed him?

 

[spanglechick]

He has a timer feeder but there won’t be anyone coming in.

I have been on feeding duty for feral Harry, for the third blimmin spell this year, whilst his main humans have been away.
This is this evening’s forth day update.

Stan is magnificent

We’ve had Dexter for 10 years clearly fond of myself and my daughter. He’s a rescue cat he had a very traumatic first couple of months before we got him. He’s happy jumps over the fence play hangs out in woods out the back but he can be a bit nervy.
Next door neighbour have a new cat he is very confident. He has started sitting on the gate. Dexter is nowhere to be seen. On a whim I’ve started shooing this cat away. Each time Dexter comes flying over the gate and comes back in.
Maybe I’m being over protective but it seems like this cat is “ intimidating” Dexter. Any thoughts ?

An update. Dexter has been outside more than usual. I was putting the recycling bin last night about 9.30 and Dexter and the neighbours cat were walking towards me side by side. Cute as fuck.

Tim didn’t get the autumnal sleepy memo and has been tearing around like a rocket-powered razor-muffin since about midnight last night.

unfortunately didn't film it, but on the way back from insainsburys' this evening -

heard some meowing.

located the source of this as a ginger kitty on a doorstep. (don't know if kitty lives there - it was a couple of streets away)

more meowing.

hooman opens door from inside.

kitty turns round and wanders back down the path
