Dan is freaking awesome

He really is.
His new family just lost a cat, and the dog was so devastated by it they just knew they needed another cat for him. Once they saw how well Dan and our girl Lou interacted together, they were positive he was the one for them.
He would have stayed with us, but Jben wasn’t having another male cat in the house.

I’m a soft touch. I started ordering cat food from Chewy and I’m feeding two feral cats. This one is no longer afraid of me. Might be becoming dependent. You know how they are. Here’s the big one

^ Nice, MTT.

Wife got an update on Dan from his forever home on the weekend

Attachment 457920

He seems to be settling in well.

This... is fucking great!

Super strong work mag.

Taking in that little buddy, having to chill out Jben while he was in house, setting him up in a home that outright needed him.

Big respeks to you CA.

FKNA.

^ Nice, MTT.

Yup, you're a good man to help out the kitties, as is CA. Special spot for you guys someday.

The same cat was standing at the slider waiting this morning about 5 am. He has me figured out. I don’t mind. But I am going to be traveling now and then. They won’t be getting fed by me. I’m not getting pinned down again

[sb]

They are training you.

Mebbi a neighbor would come over the feed them for you while away?

[MTT]

Neighbors are creepy wouldn’t expose animals to to them. I mean really creepy

[m2711c]

Maybe get one of these things?

[sb]

That or a simple gravity style feeder.

Caution, If you have coons they will clean it out.

[PB]

Seems like these days there must be a chip activated outdoor feeder, since there's one for cat doors.

^^^^ truest truth about cats.

Ms Boissal caught a video of Ugly chasing a toy mouse for a solid 5 minutes this weekend. This morning he was sitting not far from the mouse so I kicked it in his general direction. He took off like I was throwing a flaming knife at him... I'm sure at some point today he'll have a grand old time batting a empty can of his food all the way around the house, it's his go-to 3AM activity these days.

Welcome to my life. We have total Mayhem at 3am.

Here is outside cat number two. I see this one every other day but I think it eats every day? Very skittish but came right up to me as I put down the food
Interesting color. Black but lots of calico brown mixed in



I find it amazing that these cats survived this past winter even with everyone gone for days at a time. Tough cats

[riser4]

Would be cool to catch them and get them to a vet for shots, fixing, etc.

[PB]

Oh yeah, catching feral cats, the ultimate thrill/adrenaline rush!

[Meadow Skipper]

I think people here trap feral cats for neutering - catch and release. I’ve wondered 1) how the cats feel about it, and 2) how the vet staff feels about getting a pissed-off cat to be anesthesized(sp?) and go thru recovery.

[PB]

When a cat decides you're not acting in it's best interests, ya better be wearing' kevlar.

One of my fonder memories was calling out an academic vet on administering an anesthetic to a cat by rubbing it on the cat's gums. He actually thought, apparently never having worked with cats, that it would be easy. The entire group I was sitting with pointed at him and laughed.

They sedate them through the cage so they can get them out to work on.

Good on you MTT!

That's a tortie girl you
got there. Calicos have white.

Deano and his giant pile of nip. He was purring wildly.

With an injection? Sub-cutaneous? I figured it must be something like that, but it seems problematic.

Good way to loose a finger. What a moran. Obviously I'm proposing a live trap and a poke to make it not bite you.
