Kitty's Continuing Saga Comes To An End

A friend of mine reminded me to wait and that's what I did about Kitty.  The cute, little cat hung around and I waited.  It rained, I waited.  She scratched at the front door and I waited.  I posted her picture on a few social media sites and I waited.  Finally, I had a response from somebody down the road that said though she is extremely social, Kitty does belong at their house and has been there every day that I have posted about her!

What a smart cat!  She's getting food from me and then goes home to get more.  My cat, Prince has not rested properly in all of that time but he's feeling very proud of himself because he's in the house and does not have to share his food, nor people.  

As uneventful as it is, all's well that ends well.  Though I had been concerned about Kitty she is perfectly happy visiting and I am glad that Prince is so please with himself for maintaining his domain.

What Will I Do?

Having the stray cat around gives me plenty to do.  I can't walk out of the house without it appearing. I can't pull the car out of the garage without it appearing. Check the mail, it appears.  The next door neighbors congratulated me on acquiring the cute cat but since they each have a cat living under their porch they aren't much interested in mine.  I named the cat Kitty.

My own cat, Prince has accepted the fact that I am feeding Kitty but he is absolutely worn out by the end of the day.  He never gets a moment of peace.

It's no wonder that Prince gets tired.  He spends hours making sure that Kitty doesn't open the door to come in and I can only think that I pity the fool that might decide to open that door!

Caught In The Act

You really didn't expect me to ignore the stray cat today, did you?

I was still feeling under the weather today but decided to check up on the cat.  I went out the front door to the porch, looked to the left and to the right, no cat.  I walked to the right side of the porch but no cat.  I walked to the opposite side of the porch and checked on my plants, no cat.

I had already decided that this "porch cat" needed to eat more so I had taken a cup of dry food with me just in case but there was no cat!  Strays come and go.  This isn't the first that has shown up at my house.  I have fond memories of many so my feelings weren't hurt.  I noticed the little bowl that had been left outside yesterday, deftly dumped the cup of food in and came back in the house.

As I closed the door my cat lunged toward the window.  The stray was already on the porch!

As you can see from the photo above, my cat was not happy.  He fussed and whined while the dog carried on so I reassured them both of my love for them with bacon.  It's amazing how bacon can defuse a combative situation!  

Kitty did not get bacon but she did seem to be pleased to have scored on a free, effortless meal.  I can only hope that ham will have the same results tomorrow.  

You Got A Break!

You probably didn't even know it but you got a break!  I've been out of commission with a stupid allergy attack which means I haven't felt like doing much of anything.  Lucky you!

I have been taking my cheap, over the counter meds and I catch a few minutes of feeling okay but I'm a light-weight and struggle to stay awake.

Typical of myself, I didn't even have to leave the porch to get into trouble.  A new cat showed up when I went outside and the little cat doesn't want to leave.  This isn't its first appearance at my house but it is the first time it actually talked to me. This cat weighs about six pounds and it is feisty as can be!  I allowed it visitation with my 22 pound cat and my 48 pound dog at the window.  It became aggressive toward both without either of them doing anything other than peering out the window!

I know, I know.  I am stuck with this cat.  I thought I should give it a blanket but then I reminded myself that it was over 65f.  I ignored it last week and it moved to my neighbor's house but I'm guessing that their dog and two cats weren't very welcoming. Cat logic forced it back to my house.

Human logic tells me that I don't need to become a cat lady but the shelter doesn't have any place better for it than my porch. Since it had a collar maybe somebody will come along and claim it and I will be hoping for nice weather so maybe somebody will post a sign about their lost cat.

Another break for you!  The cat is at my house!
