I guess I've been adopted (ie front porch "gifts")
There are a few wandering cats in our neighborhood.. hard to tell
who's a stray and who's a poor schmuck whose owner lets them roam. One guy, a ring-tailed tabby, seems to have a particular fondness for us. He's most often seen. Yesterday my wife found a headless baby possum corpse on our steps. Other than a halloween prank, my only other explanation would be a gift from a cat. Do you think a cat that hasn't really gotten close to us (except one cold night where he hopped up on our car hood and purred when we pulled up) would feel "homed" enough to start bringing us gifts?

BLink I don't think you get gifts unless you're feeding the cat mmhmmm are you feeding the cat |

BLink I don't have an answer for you, but if it's a gift, that's sweet! Not that I'm fond of beheaded opossums, but I would feel honored to receive one from a stray that I hadn't gotten especially close to yet. No, you would be on here venting about the dead body you had to dispose of. :-D |

About homeless kitties... tomorrow I go in for a total hip replacement.
In January, I go in for the other. In the past 2 weeks, our computer crashed with amajor virus ($150 to fix), the toilet broke twice ($70), Cookies,our Himalayan, had to have oral surgery ($250),my grandson had minor surgery. I did not need to have someone drop off at my house 2 8month old kitties. they are the sweetest cats. And, did I mention that I have 5 other cats? Anyway, I just wanted to rant. The cats have been fixed, have had their shots, and love our home. now, I need names. Thanks for listening. |

Good luck with the procedure, I understand the results are just amazing, though the recovery takes a while. I know you will be glad you had the surgery. In January, I go in for the other. In the past 2 weeks, our computer crashed with amajor virus ($150 to fix), the toilet broke twice ($70), Cookies,our Himalayan, had to have oral surgery ($250),my grandson had minor surgery. Wow, that's a lot to hit you all in a short time span. I did not need to have someone drop off at my house 2 8month old kitties. they are the sweetest cats. And, did I mention that I have 5 other cats? Anyway, I just wanted to rant. The cats have been fixed, have had their shots, and love our home. now, I need names. Thanks for listening. When you get home and feel up to it, post some photos! We could have a "name-off!" You're so good to take them. Were they dropped by strangers or brought over by a friend? |
