Stray Kitty

Stray Kitty

I just had a really funky experience. A beautiful grey little kitty was wandering around....I'd never seen it here before.
Being the fruitcake that I am I gentled it into coming to me after about half an hour of 'cat talking' to it.
I wasn't happy to find it was a young male...discovering this as it backed up to my raspberry bushes and started shaking its adolescent little tail. (spraying)

After coaxing I got it to come to me and it purred and lovey dovey'ed and I thought I might (as it was happy and willing) hoist it to my arms for a snuggle....

at which time all hell broke loose and the little sh*t commenced to ripping half the skin off my arms and gnawing not very gently into my forearm at which time I commenced to let loose the little demon and let him find his petting and comfort elsewhere

so much for my wild kingdom conquests

I will now attempt the uncomfortable process of pouring peroxide on my gaping gashes and slather antibiotic ointment and bandaides over my injured pride....

and teach the dog what 'get the bad kitty' means

not really

dang I'll have to take a couple of days off of splitting wood

gee that's too bad!

No cats here but one of my hounds will bark during certain commercials on TV and even if you hit the mute button, he stops what he's doing, looks at the TV, cocks his head a bit, then proceeds to run around the house barking his fool head off. And while he's doing that Captain Morgan, our conure, is in his cage strutting back and forth, barking and telling Bogart to stop One of the other hounds, Casey catches mice, kills them and "buries" them in her crate, for a snack when we're gone

I'm glad my little guys are still too young to catch living things, they're still trying to figure out how come they can't catch my cursor. They sit on my lap and paw at the monitor for hours!

No LCD here. I got a brand new 21" CRT, they're really good about it though, they don't use their claws at all. cause if they do out comes the dreaded squirtgun!!!

Nooo! Not the squirtgun! I guess that's the classic "don't weapon", huh?

It works really well, I was surprised!! Thanks to the squirtgun they don't chew on my wires, stay away from my books, leave my keys alone and don't hurt the monitor. They both just sit on my lap and follow the cursor with their eyes. Sometimes they use their paws but never with claws. They're so good, especially for kittens. And the funniest thing is they love to eat fruit! Strawberrys are their favorite but they also like watermelon, grapes, and peaches.

How odd! My Hoopty just grew accustomed to the squirtgun and tried to drink it as I was squirting it. As for the food, Butterbean earned her name! I've never heard of a fruit eating cat though, although I had one once that would fight you for Doritos.

I've got one Kitten (Puddin), that will eat just about anything, from peanut butter cookies, to green beans. He's a Maine Coon cat. I've got another older female (Prissy) that is a Pounce, Junkie. I mean to tell ya, Pounce is like Kitty Crack, you mix that with playing with Pipe, Cleaners and she has a full afternoon. I have yet to recieve a live present from my one of my Pride. I have witnessed the death of some mean water, bugs though. That is not a pretty sight.

Haha, Pounce. They love it. Have you had any of yours chasing fly's?

I had a cat years ago which was a raving alcho! Leave a beer on the coffee table and walk out of the room for 5 minutes, come back again and said beer is somewhat missing (as far as the cat could get it's head into the pint glass!)

Nothing's funnier than a pissed up puss! Nothing at all!

Hi Mrs Footsie!

Just checkin' in to see how your arm and hand are doin' and did the stray cat ever come back?

Have a blessed day and let us know, 'k?

Hi lovesblessing!

Thank you for thinking about me! The scratches and lesser bites are healed...the deeper punctures are still healing where the muscle and tendons were cut a little but doing good! No infection and no loss of use...still a little bummed out about not being able to help poor little kitty out though....haven't seen him around for a while, I think he must have wandered off.

Have a good day!
