TWEAKER BATHROOM CAT -- BEYOND FERAL? The bathroom cat has thwarted my attempts at capture to the point where I have backed off and am now using hunger (but not excessively) as a taming force. This is one hostile, ferocious animal, and not a small one either. I wonder if she is not a natural lynx hybrid. Take another look at these pix: www.geocities.com/wallofgrays/catcam.htm And then look at this link: http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/town/pl...90/canlynx.htm Charlie: Your cat looks like a cat that is looking at a Lynx.

I trapped the wrong one. Aha! Mystery solved! Now, has the real pregnant cat delivered her kittens yet?

She freaked out, jumped down onto the wash stand and snarled at me in a manner that was not like that of any housecat I have seen. Her thighs are more muscular, and she is all-around a more powerful animal. Yup, she's a feral.

I'll feed her if she sticks around after I release her, and she need never warm up to me. I will be happy to admire her from a distance -- as long as I know she isn't producing more feral cats! Charlie If it comes to spaying, and you have to pay out of your pocket, I'd be willing to send something towards it, I think it's admirable what your doing, an interesting development. |

LOL No go on the lynx theory, eh? That's a bummer. For a little while there, I thought I had a lynx in my bathroom, and it was a great fantasy. It was also a convenient cover story. The fact is, I am afraid to tangle with this critter, which is why I have put off the inevitable vetting. I'd rather be scared off by a lynx than a housecat. A bobcat hybrid perhaps??? Or maybe a once-normal housecat from Hanford, east of the mountains, exposed to gamma rays like the Incredible Hulk. Charlie |

Priscilla I have only glimpsed her, but she must have by now. I should notch the bathroom cat's ear when I take her in, but she's such a beautiful animal I hate to do it. Charlie |

Keep the money for the cat that shows up in your life. I used to smoke 3 packs of cigarettes a day, but I quit, so I'm rolling in dough. It's a hobby. Charlie |

Charlie, I'm going to send you Hodge, and then you'll find out what a sweet, domesticated kitty you've got in your bathroom. LOL. Oh come on. I looked at your pictures. I saw Hodge in the bag, Hodge in the box. If you can get those photos, Hodge is tamer than my bathroom cat. Charlie |
