Sigh. Look what just found me. *Update 11/8* post #58

My neighbor rang my doorbell and asked if I was missing an orange cat. Creamsicle was in the basement w/the rest of the Fur Posse because I'm still having work done on my house, so I knew she was safe. I walked over to his property and this sweet boy came trotting over to meet me. He's obviously not feral; he's way too friendly. My neighbor's wife fed him twice and he said "I hate cats! I don't want him around here. This is my domain. He'll pee on my firewood and then it'll stink when I burn it". I said "Ok, I get it. You don't like cats but you don't hurt them, do you?" He said "I've been known to kick cats". Can you believe he admitted that to me? I told him "I have a doll at home w/little pins and your name on it". He said "I'm totally protected". I said "You think so, huh?" (Listen to the crazy cat lady making threats to the ex-military guy.) So this little boy followed me home so easily that I was able to put him in my garage. I still have a dog house from my rescue days, so I made it up nice and cozy for him, fed him just a little and gave him some water and provided a litter box. I tried to take better pix but he won't stay still long enough to let me.

Dr. Lee is squeezing me in tomorrow. I'm having him tested and if he's clear, then I'm having him neutered. It's going to be an expense that I hadn't counted on, that's for sure. Problem is, after he's all done, then what? I can't keep him and I don't want my neighbor near him. My son will kill me if I take in another cat and, to be honest, I don't want another one. I've got too many expenses and w/Pidge sick, I have to make sure I have enough money set aside for her care. People make me sick sometimes. I've been calling him Buddy, just because he's become a little buddy already. I'll try to take better pix of him later, when he's groggy from his weeny whack.

I was thinking he might have been sent by Puddy?

I know, I'm trying not to think that way. I honestly cannot afford another cat. I just can't. I'm calling out favors to my old rescue friends around here but, so far, no takers. I'm footing the bill for his tests, shots and neutering, if they'll just give him a home. It's supposed to snow this weekend and he was sitting in the middle of my neighbor's yard, just huddled there, poor boy.

Oh, I'll foster him til I find him a home, Gary, no worries there. He's too friendly; there's no way I'm letting him back outdoors. This boy will get hurt. He's safe now until I can find him a home.

Your neighbor sounds like he needs the "weeny whack" procedure himself, lol.

He's gorgeous Mary! I love orange tabbies!


Zachariah, a fellow orange tabby, says Hi! and Welcome to Pt, Buddy!!

[Grace]

Looking at that picture of him again. Doesn't it look like he had been wearing a collar at one time?

Bet he was dumped by someone.

[phesina]

Mary, I will be glad to help with expenses for him or for unforeseen needs for Pidge.

I wonder if the "owner" should get him back. What were they doing letting an intact male roam around outside? Perhaps he was let out mistakenly by a visitor?

Oh Pat, thank you, that's very generous of you. However, I just posted about him and how smoothly things are going. My ex-husband told me he dropped a check for $500 in the mail for Buddy. Excellent! And since I'm having work done on my house, I haven't been cooking because of all the mess and the workers are here late, so I stopped by to get some take out chicken and when I went to pay at the window and the price was $1.00 less than last time and I asked why and she said "I recognized your voice and you always order the same thing so I thought I'd give you a discount". Pretty cool, huh? Talk about the Law of Abundance! Life is looking pretty sweet! I'm gonna have an orange set of bookends. LOL

[jazzcat]

What a handsome orange guy and he looks so sweet. I'm glad it's all working out.

[orangemm]

Oh Mary, I am so glad to hear that! Buddy obviously is a very sweet cat in need of a loving home. I would have fallen for him, too........

Lucky Buddy! Lucky you!!

[Anikaca77]

OH Mary THATS GREAT!!!

I sent you a PM!

I'm so happy for you!!!
