Looks like my little fren has been in a fight; *update*; 6/28; post #36

Anybody who thinks cats are aloof and dignified has not seen a cat Velcroed to a window screen whimpering away for nom-noms.

Love, Columbine

No sign of my little fren tonight. Maybe the storms have kept her away. We've had rain off and on all day and thunder and lightning, too. I sure hope she has shelter. What am I saying? Of course she has shelter. I put one out!

[Medusa]

And the little sweetie was hungry tonight. I put food and water out for her and she really chowed down. I'm sorry about the pix. She just would not stay still long enough for me to get a good one. I put the Fur Posse in the basement so that no one would dart outside when I went out and after she left, I went to the basement to tuck in everyone and she came back and cried at the basement window. It sounded as though she was saying "Hello?" It was heartbreaking. She wants love so badly. She immediately flops on her back and lets me pet her. Why can't she be a meany so that I don't feel bad right before bed?

What a pretty girl she is! I would think that someone would want a Pretty Princess of their own to take home and love. I hope she finds a home if she doesn't already have one.

Aweee she is a Cutie Pie.. Is she in the house yet Mary??

[Anikaca77]

Awww...well at least she knows where to come for food.

I hope she's ok.

Awww - couldn't you make her a Garage Cat?

She looks very healthy and not at all like a stray - nice shiny coat. Maybe you could post some pics around the neighborhood - just in case she is lost.

Then again - maybe she's just a moocher. And you know that there are those that always think the grass is greener on the other side. In this case, it probably is.

Mary, in the kindest way I want to say to you "who are you kidding?"

That adorable baby knows "home" when she sees it.

[GILL]

She is a cutie.

[Medusa]

Yes, she's cute alright. I just have a feeling that she belongs to someone because she doesn't come around every night and the first night that she arrived, she hardly touched the food that I put out. I'm at my max w/cats and I just don't want to break in a new one. She's healthy, not injured in any way and if I do discover that she's homeless, I'll do my best to find a home for her. I won't abandon her. I don't want to put her in my garage because I noticed that my gas grill has been sprayed and she probably did it. I don't want her spraying in my garage or house. I've been saying "she" but I still don't know the gender for sure.

S/he came back again last night. I fell asleep watching TV and was awakened by his/her meowing. It's such a pathetic cry. It sounds as though s/he's saying "Hello? Hello?" There was only the sliding screen door between him/her and my Fur Posse and they were all crouched watching but they didn't make a sound. Seeing that it was past everyone's bedtime, I put my cats in their basement apt. and went back outside to feed Tuxie. S/he ate but clearly did not want to be touched this time, which is unusual because in the past, s/he'd flop on her back looking for belly rubs. If this continues, I may have to ask neighbors who s/he might belong to but there are a couple of houses that I really don't want to visit because they're rowdy and noisy and are totally unaware of the fact that they have neighbors. One house has a dog chained day and night and it barks incessantly. I feel really bad for the dog but that's another story. I don't want to overstep my bounds and just take Tuxie in to be tested, etc. but clearly s/he wants in my house. I can't take her in but I would feel better knowing that s/he's safe to be nose to nose through my screen door w/my Fur Posse.

What a beautiful little kitty! Tuxie looks small in the pictures, is s/he a baby? While Tuxie looks healthy and reasonably well cared for, I can't help but worry about him/her being outside like that just wandering around. Those meows from outside my windows would tear me to shreds. I'm praying that this sweetie will be safe, cared for, and loved. Bless you for caring enough to try to help.

No, s/he appears full grown and looks healthy enough. I know what you mean about him/her being outdoors, especially at night. I did ask my neighbor across the street if she knew who the cat belongs to and she said 'no'. My neighbor to my right won't know or care. He hates cats. If I could catch any of my other neighbors when they're home (they're all either working or doing things w/their kids), I'd ask them, too. Tuxie doesn't come by every night, though, which makes me think s/he has a home. All of my rescues planted their furry behinds on my porch and wouldn't leave until I took them in or found homes for them. LOL

[carole]

Mary you are doing the best you can for the little tuxie,we cannot take them all in, even though we would love to,common sense has to set in doesn't it? although it is much easier to leave common sense behind eh?

I know there are lot of danger lurking outside and more so in your country than mine, but here it is just normal for cats to be outside,(except for this NZer who keeps them in at night) so don't worry too much, she will be used to it and probably be fine.

Still let us all pray for the little Tuxie to be safe and find a loving home soon.

This time it's a kitten, a tiger, cute as can be, looks to me to be about 9 months old but I could be wrong. S/he came up on the patio and Yodie the Yowler lost her mind like she did w/Tuxie and s/he ran off. I went outside to see if I could find him/her and if s/he would come to me but s/he was nowhere to be found. Sigh. I've got to stop looking out my window. I hope that the two of them don't "get together", if you get my meaning.
