Long story short my girls wanted to help someone so they adopted another kitten. That’s 3 for those keeping count. I was against it since I believe we have enough pets and didn’t need another cat. They let me name her so I introduce Zero (from Nightmare before Christmas)
Catching up on the thread. Gotta say I'm team indoor cat, because I don't like the idea of my cat murdering a hundred bird bros a year for shits and giggles. Cats kill 2.4 billion birds a year, they are adorable killing machines. Also my cat is dumb as fuck, she got out once and got stuck for 3 days on a huge oak 60 feet off the ground before I was able to get her down. Not sure I wanna go through that again
cat1, probably about 18lbs. an absolute tank. he would run for 2000 yards in the cat sec. jumps on top of fences from sitting like its nothing. skittish as hell cat2, probably 13lbs. just a blob but super friendly and smart. cat2 bullies cat1
Used to have 2 cats that were similar. 20 lb cat that was just a monster physically but would routinely get bullied by his 15 lb brother who was kinda fat and lazy
Tut came home with an abscess under his arm pit from who knows what a few weeks ago. The vet cleaned that shit out and recommended making him wear newborn clothing to mitigate him cleaning and messing with it.
He's gonna stick a claw in the fleshy part of your palm below the thumb when you try to pet him at some later date
Got a trap today to get this guy fixed. He hasn't come around much recently so hopefully I can catch him one of the next 2 Tuesday mornings.
one of the cats we had growing up had like laser-guided precision at doing this. he was super affectionate but kind of unpredictable, maybe because his mother was feral . he either bit into or got his claw stuck in that exact part of my hand like a dozen times over his liftetime. i named him alonzo because alonzo mourning was dope at the time
I leave the back door open and my two cats come and go throughout the day. They stay in the backyard/driveway the whole time. Watching these two pampered indoor cats try to hunt rodents is comical. They definitely think they are lions on the prowl but never come within a few feet of sniffing a kill.
Yeah squirrels are probably too fast and skittish for your average house cat to catch I did learn that rabbits scream when one of mine came cruising into the backyard one evening with one in its mouth. I thought someone's alarm clock was going off
We have some bushes outside one of our basement windows. Sometimes birds get in the bushes and chill. Well one of my cats saw a bird in the bushes today. She got up in the window standing on her hind legs jumping up and down while chattering.
Happy to say I got "Bob" neutered and found him a home this week. Some people renting a few houses away started letting him in and want to keep him. Pretty happy with the outcome.
There's a huge tree in backyard & cats hang out by door/windows all day watching squirrels/birds bc they will hang out/land on the deck. Don't let the apex predators out unsupervised though.
so weve been feeding this feral cat living under our deck for 5 years and this past summer after our in house cat died it decided it would let us pet it (after feeding it for 5 years) fast forward to now its sleeping on my couch every night and then howls when it wakes up and wants to go outside like a jerk
You sure that thing was feral? I've had a lot of feral cats living on my acreage over the years and at no point have any of them lost that psycho look in their eyes.
100% Ive seen this thing fight other cats like a tom & jerry cartoon, chase off raccoons, possums etc
