Fat Cat
I have a 15 pound cat that is grey with four white feet and a white and
pink little nose. He is adorable. Although, he is the cutest cat in the world, sometimes he is a hassle to take care of. He kills birds, mice, moles, snakes, lizards, etc. and brings them in through the doggy door! We work long days and have o have a doggy door for the dogs, but I believe the cat enjoys the freedom the most. One more problem is that he likes to drink the water from my sisters fish tank. Even with a clean bowl of water he prefers to scare the fish and weighing 15 pounds is not good for the lid of a fish tank(I have learned from experience). I love him like a sibling or child, but man is he a handful! |

I love him like a sibling or child, but man is he a handful! He sounds precious, but if you love him as much as you say, you should think long and hard about continuing to let him roam. Anything could happen to him out there. The animals he kills may have ingested poison (the rodents), or have been exposed to dangerous nerve agents in the form of pesticides or fungicides (insects and the snakes and lizards that eat them). Mean people torture cats every day, they get hit by cars (it only takes one) and stray dogs are a problem too. The "be free" "we will take that chance, he LOVES the outdoors so much!" philosophy might work fine for me up until the time I found my cat lying under a bush with his gut ripped open by a dog or dead from being hit by a car. It worries me to death when people allow beloved pets to roam unsupervised. Inviato da X-Privat.Org - Registrazione gratuita http://www.x-privat.org/join.php |

So maybe your cat is safe after all, especially with the dogs out there too. Inviato da X-Privat.Org - Registrazione gratuita http://www.x-privat.org/join.php |

Well, for the most part he is safe, but occasionally the dogs do roam
about. we live down a dead end road with people i have known for 20 years, so If they ever get out they are welcomed at all the neighbors yards and eventually wander back home. |

My aim is not to be critical of you--I am just eccentric about puddy tats and can't bear to think of them in danger.
