The Cat Thread

Yeah I thought about that... Er I mean I would have thought about that if i was adopting a cat... which I'm not. Three doors between in and out in our place. I'd need three flaps (chipped one outside I guess). Right pain in the arse.

Cheers for thoughts chaps.

Surely you have windows? Cats are pretty good at jumping in and out of windows in my experience.

I almost adopted this one.

However I was about to move again, so I couldn't. So hard not to... :-(

Beautiful!!!

I did that for a while before going for a flap, it just got too cold.

We're 1st floor. Door, stairs, door, porch, door, garden.

So are we, the cats run up and down a drainpipe wrapped in rope.

^ I thought you have a flap? Remember seeing it from your pics. Does the flap lead to a balcony or sth?

Sweet haul! You're both gonna be amused for days! What's that blue snake thing? Do a show and tell!

Here you go.

She was so excited with it, until I took the laser pointer out... there. 10 fine UK pounds down the loo...

Ho Lee Kak! Did you find an owner in the end?

Owner never appeared despite living in a small estate / area. Signs on bus stops / lamp posts / local shops.

Had to take her to the local scantuary. If she was Doge...

So sad.

Much kitteh play.

Beautiful creature.

Laser pointer madness...

Here you go.

Dont worry just coat it in catnip and leave it lying around. She will pick it up at some point.

I've been looking after my friends cat Harley, she got him from the local shelter last year the day he was due be put down. He has a habit of waiting for me to walk up the stairs then attacking (he's only got one eye so he misses a lot)

No catip needed, she was playing with it all night last night after I had gone to bed. Might get another pack soon to extend it. She was like a child sitting in the middle of a model rail track. It was ever so cute.

Right I'm joining this thread albeit temporarily. We live in a Maisonette in Leyton with a little garden. Three days ago I noticed a little kitteny thing in the garden and when it simply didn't fek off I went down for a chat. She (for it is a she) dashed through a broken air vent into a crawl space under the house. I invited her out and checked her over. Skinny but not emaciated, clean but very needy and super affectionate. No collar. We gave her some beef to munch on and kept an eye out.

Turns out she's living in that crawl space. I've no clue how long she's been there. Every time I go outside she appears at the mouth of her little cave and I give her some food. She then just sits on my lap or my shoulder and hangs out for a bit til I fight the urge to bring her in and extricate myself.

Have postered the area and took her to the vets today. No microchip. Cat's Protection won't get involved for 2 weeks and the vets have offered to spay her. Since I'd need to take her in to recoup I'm holding off until we get back from Chrimbo. Hope she's ok in our absence! We don't own a cat and never have. Don't think we can really afford to either. So now we just have to try really hard not to fall in love with her - which is impossible as she's an absolute frikkin heartbreaker!

This is how I got got. Three years later he is an integral part of the family, just go with it

Good work! Mrs Wrongcog came home last night and announced that she thought we should keep this one. Hmmm. I'm still not sure. Christmas will be the test. If she's still here when we get back its probably destiny.

In other news I leafleted 120 houses around me last night (if we do take this one in I'd be gutted if she just got reclaimed by someone). One dude came out of his flat and said "can't you read? The notice says no junk mail!" So I said "have a proper look - its not junk mail, I'm just being a decent neighbour." To which his reply was "whatever it is we obviously aren't interested!" I just said "have another look at it you plumb". Tis the season eh?

What is a "plumb" ?

even if he was the owner of the cat, the cat would probably be better off without him.

A plumb is the type of guy who chases his neighbour down and has a go at them a few days before Christmas for attempting to find the owners of a lost kitteh.

ffty

Yo yo yo! Cat humanoids.
Was it someone here who had a harness for walking cats? Can't seem to find it but we're contemplating walking/training/suffering ours. One is getting too fat and lazy.

does a laser point not work with that cat? Her highness get continues to get out of breathe chasing after the red dot.

Why can't people just be nice to each other? I had some neighbuors like that too. Sometimes if you walk pass each other, you say hello, or at least smile or whatever, right? 1 or 2 of them give you that look as if you haven't just killed all their children and grandchildren and about to kill them.

I regularly chat with my neighbours, we take parcels for each other, I go shopping for the old dear next door if it's icy and we do a pet feeding exchange with the guys a few doors down. The north.

we only go as far as taking in parcels, and that's strictly between myself and the neighbours next door. Upstairs often get my posts and they throw them back by my front door regardless of weather, important letters got socked in rain. And I have had to order missing wheelie bins for them and next door the other side coz they can't be bothered and keep using mine, currently 7 people sharing my bin. Council don't give a monkeys. The South.

I am sure my cat shits in their gardens, which is fully supported by me.
