Must remember... Cat Limit...

[Lacey]

I am at my cat limit... I am at my cat limit...

Anyone want to head out this way and trap a little tuxie kitten sighted out by the dumpsters? Saw it for the first time tonight. It looks smaller than Mowg when I first caught him. I just don't have the time or funds to sit out and try to catch it and put it through the works at the vet.

I mean, it's dark when I get in from work, and this is not the nicest of neighborhoods... Though there's always weekends... And payday is coming up....

Oh crud. I've halfway talked myself into trying to catch it...

Cat limit... Cat limit... Cat limit...

Awwww....what's one more kitty??.... LOL LOL

No saying that you have to keep it. I say Mowg needs a little tuxie friend to play with....but unfortunately I do understand limits.

I do understand limits, especially if your space is small but I can honestly say that I didn't notice much difference going from 1 to 2 cats or from 2 cats to 3, except for more fighting.

Now going from three to five like we just did is quite noticable, but nice.

Three's a very nice number! A tuxedo would round out the color scheme very nicely too I might add.

Cat limit... Cat limit... Cat limit...
Zelda.........Mowgli.......Tuxie

See the interesting correlation between the "cat limit", and the cats?

I have 10 here and it really isn't bad.Are you the only one taking care of your cats?I mean..are you unattached and work all day?Then maybe 5 or 7 might be all.
Just kidding.You know what's best for you.Everyone's sittuation is different.Maybe you could catch it then ask for our help?I'm sure every little bit helps.And maybe someone here will take the kitty.

Something tells me that I'm going to be getting out the yarn and turning the cat carrier into a trap again this weekend. Though what I would love to do is find the mom cat and haul her butt to the vet for a spaying. However, the only other cat I've seen around acts wild, but has a collar, and I've never seen it with pregnant belly (nor do I even know if it's male or female).

Jazzcat - So the differences between going from two to three isn't all that noticeable, huh? Except for the vet bills, I bet. I keep having horrible flashbacks to Mowg's first vet bill for the works - sedation, physical, vaccinations, poop test, dewormer, bits removal, and flea treatment.

QSA - I notice the correlation between my cat limit chant now that you've pointed out. Even my subconscious is working against me on this one!

I just know that if I catch this little goober, it'll take longer to socialize because I won't be able to sit with it nearly 24/7 like I did with Mowg now that I'm out from about 7 in the morning to about 6 to 6:20 in the evening (depending on traffic). Curse that long drive to work!

Though somehow I get the feeling that Zelda will either be relieved that Mowg would have a little play buddy, or they would double-team her for play time... Ack! Subconscious telling me to catch and keep it again!

...I give up...

In Kansas City, MO we are limited to four animals of four feet each. Can have four cats, dogs, whatever, plus a bird and fish.

They are pushing dog and cat licenses as a way of making people spay and neuter.

Our limit,here is 2,which I ahve gone over,by a bit.And even if you dont keep,tha Little Tuxie,it will bother you,if you dont get her off the street,and to a shelter.

I've got a friend in Texas, and she says that the city has a flat out 4 four-legged pet limit there too. And she freely admits that's a good thing because otherwise she'd have more dogs than you could shake a stick at.

In the meantime, I've already set to work thinking up names. Which means that if it's caught, it's a keeper.

Forget the and add

But like I say, you don't have to keep it. I think getting him/her off the streets is the important part. Then once she/he is safe inside you can try and find a good home.....or just give up and accept that you're now a 3 cat family.
