It's Caturday- Post some cats (vol 3)

[garythesign]

Doing what she does best.

[Tyre Smoke]

Sockie has been glued to me all day.

[T1547]

Bought a new office chair, big improvement on the dining chair I was previously using WFH.

Only problem is this creature likes it just as much, only have to get up for few seconds and he’s on it (also seems to be obsessed with licking the seat lol).

[karma mechanic]

If I hide under this blanket nobody will know I'm here..

Cas’s eye didn’t need to be removed on Friday, we have to take him back in 8w - it’s blind & may yet need to go.

Neutered, de-flea’d & de-wormed, he can now move into the lounge

Pepi is hissy, Beauty not bothered, yet...

[AstonZagato]

What are those cages - they look quite useful for introducing our kitten to our very antisocial older cat.

[ali_kat]

They are large dog crates on their side

We use cable ties to tie them together at the openings & sides (had to cut holes) so there are 3 areas - food, sleep & toilet.

Originally got them after Beauty hurt her back & had to be kept quite & from jumping around. They take up a lot of room, but worth it!

Let’s them sniff each other & get used to smells & noises.

No pics, but Ziggy decided to bring us a present home last night.

On the doormat was a black plastic box shaped device a few inches long with a picture of fingers getting chopped off some something like “keependermitzeninderpokets” written on it in foreign with a big red X as a warning. A few feet away on the tiles was a dead mouse.

Not happy with bringing the mouse home, he brought the bloody trap home too!

Wait till they move onto rabbits



This one stayed after my eldest moved back in for a while with him, she left, he didn't, he is a murderous bd and some days will bring in 5 or 6 mice, you cannot walk around in bare feet any more for fear of treading in something



At least this one was whole, if left to his own devices I'm lucky enough to find a heart and liver some feet and a pair of eyeballs.

A rare moment of peace between chasing each other around the house non stop.

Heheh, Ziggy is still growing, only 9 months old so needs a bit more body weight for 12 rounds with a rabbit.

I was amazed the mouse didn’t give him a kicking to be honest as he is such a wimp. He has a kitten interest in just about everything here at the seaside, fish, gulls, swans, cormorants etc but no cat predator instinct for anything right now except the missus’s feet - and maybe a mouse half trapped in a trap so it seems.

That's a polite cat. Ours tend to:
a. Bring them in alive for us to chase around while they look on with disdain
b. Bring them in alive and screaming so the dogs go mad and chase the rodent before bringing me a now dead rabbit covered in dog slobber.
c. Bring them in alive and haul them screaming into my bedroom at 3am
d. Leave them dismembered in our utility room. Usually the head and liver (and perhaps a hind foot) are all that are left in a pool of congealed blood.

He isn't that polite usually, I have had a full grown seagull which put up a hell of a fight with our other cat, I think it won as it was still alive and my cat was a mess, it serves him right, I still to this day don't understand how he got it through the catflap, we arrived home to a warzone, I had to redecorate 2 rooms afterwards because of all the blood and st everywhere, which hadn't been so bad had I not just finished the decorating a couple of weeks previously.

I think we have had just about everything brought in with fur and feathers, many a time I've gone into the lounge to find a dishevelled bird sat on the curtain rail, I have to have a fishing net out all the time to catch them and litter pickers for the wife to pick up the mess if I'm out.

Its all good fun, mostly, as they are great company usually.

That is bad.
I do recall our tumble dryer going on the fritz. A repairman was called out. He found the problem: a dead mole in the back of the machine.
One of our cats (now departed) used to stalk the muntjac deer in the garden. Quite what he thought he would do with it if he caught it, I don't know - but you have to admire his ambition.

one of mine used to stalk a neighbours Doberman Pincer - the poor thing got taken for a walk and sometimes BLAM - cat attack around the face - all we used to hear from indoors was whining and squeeking like a poodle for a few seconds, and we look and nod at each other knowingly.....

.........eventually the neighbours moved................just sayin'

[motco]

We had a female demon for a cat back in the dim dark past. Our first house had the kitchen at the front with an open gulley where the kitchen waste from the sink and washing machine discharged. It was a concrete rectangle about 30cm square and 20cm deep with a cast iron grating. This cat, a small silver tabby, would sit in this gulley with her eyes barely visible over the rim, and when a local dog passed by (loose dogs were more common in the 1970s and on a cul-de-sac estate) she would wait until it had passed and then charge out of the gulley like a rocket propelled grenade and usually the poor innocent hound wouldn't bother to look round when it heard this scurrying behind it, but it would break into a run to avoid its worst (imagined) nightmare! The only dogs she feared were a pair of long haired collies because they ganged up on any cat in the neighbourhood. Because the houses were on a new-build estate there were no nearby trees to take refuge in for the cats. When we came home from work we would often find a blood spattered scene where some unfortunate bird had met its end. Rarely was there anything more than feathers and blood though.

Margot has her safe place.



She’s been so amazing.

[Mr Roper]

For a farm stray that was near ferrel, Margot has joined the fold amazingly. Gets on with all the cats and has even made our most awkward cat turn into a loving protector.
