Abandoned Kat

[79XS11F]

It must be younger then I guessed. It's not even weaned yet. Been crying since I picked it up. Sleeping now on a full belly of bottle fed kittens milk replacement. If I can "restore" it maybe I'll call it "XS"

They would be in "bad taste".

This is what I know about cats. I am highly allergic to them, they will put me in a hospital, pronto. Cats know this, so they instinctively do their best to rub themselves all over my face. It took me a long time to figure out that cats hate eye to eye contact. They see it as a sign of aggression. Its my only defense against tabby. So, if you want to befriend it, don't stare at it, look away and talk in a calming voice.

Sneeze a few times, and the befriending process will be accelerated.

Yeah...cats love sneezing, has a calmimg effect on them...

No, I think its because of their close relationship to Satan and they like seeing me in misery.

I probably deserve it though.

Cat Story

My houseguest, (another stray???) saw this one abandoned laying out on the patio, near comatose, barely breathing. It’s eyes were closed, had very little hair and malformed whiskers.
Weighted about five ounces.
Now three months later she’s almost two and a half pounds.



My daughter named her Tinker
I call her Spazz.
Only cat I’ve ever seen that can get into a fight with a little piece of paper and loose.
Does not walk like a cat, but marches like a goose stepping storm trooper (literally).
Only in the last week or two has she been able cross the kitchen floor without either crashing into something or tripping over her own feet, hence I call her Spazz. May have suffered permanent brain damage but she seems to enjoy life so she is now part of the household.

BTW,
this other kitten only shows up when I’m backing one of the Xses out of the garage for a ride.

That's a pretty nasty case of lime disease that one has, Mike...
lol

It isn't looking any too happy in that pic... maybe it showing up at inopportune times is revenge for that one?

Both our cats were wild barn kittens. They were domesticated within days. One is the greatest mouse hunter I have ever seen and the other thinks he's human and should be treat as such!

He / she is doing OK, Woke me up at 2 AM for a feeding. Then I feed it again before work at 6 AM and went home for 10 AM so all appears to be good. The vet did however tell me to hold off on handling the cat until it's checked out. Told me that if I get scratched of bit to make sure my tetanus shots are up to date. Also stated rather firmly to not let it come in contact with my other cat or dog until cleared as being OK. So I will have to wait until Friday evening before doing much other then keeping it feed, watered and warm. It slept with a water bottle filled with hot water late night. It seems content for now.

When a kitty starts wearing lime peels on it's head it's a sure sign it's time to cut it off from the gin 'n tonic....

Well the first 24 hours are behind her, yes She's a her, and all is good. She's eating well and now has run of one room. Still hissing when approched but only until she's in your hands. Then she comfy ...

This is her

[Guy_b_g]

LOL...yeah I can see how well the "hands off until she's checked out" policy is going

Cats are good for moving target practice, plus my staffy cross dog totally loves them, does his absolute best to spread them all over the yard as fertilizer. Been quite a while since one has come into this yard

Looks like XS has adapted pretty quick. It sure doesn't take long for them to get into our hearts.
