Here kitty kitty..... SNATCH!
I think I've got to steal the neighbors cat.
It's a wee fuzzy thing, with big snarls behind each ear. It hangs out at our barn, so for a long time I thought it was a wild cat and tried to make it a barn cat. It usually runs away when we go out there. I've been trilling to it and mewing back when it mews at me and today it let me hold it and scritch it and love it and it purr purr purred. Clearly not a wild cat, eh? But it was FILTHY. And for such a little thing it had big fur snarls behind each ear and on it's hind end. I spent a good long time holding it and loving it and it would have stayed there forever had I paid it attention forever. Too fuzzy and mottled and dirty to identify it as a boy or a girl. Poor thing. I think it's coming to the new house with us next summer..... TBird ---- evil cat thief |

I talked this weekend w/a guy who's *not a cat person* but who got *sucked into* (LOL) taking in a cat that he knows is feral, b/c he knows it was born to a feral cat that he was feeding. The very first time he let it in, w/o previously having tried to touch it but only feeding it, it joined him in bed, snuggling & purring. So apparently, some ferals can cope w/people. Has anybody else ever heard a story like this? Katz |

Has anybody else ever heard a story like this? For sure! When I lived in Arizona, I once found a scrawny little thing searching furtively in a dumpster and managed to grab it and take it home. I got the same treatment. |

Has anybody else ever heard a story like this? Katz Molly is settling in quite well for and 18 month old feral. Still doesn't want to be held, but she does purr and rub against my legs and talks to us. And sneaks in at night to sleep behind my knees. Only after she thinks I'm asleep and only until she knows I'm awake. Also, thankfully she gets the concept of biting gently. Jo |
