Sad day.

We had a couple of other strays show up including this really sweet, friendly Calico.

She was so tame you could walk right over and pick her up first time meeting her and she did not complain.

Has been spending hours at a time in yards hanging out with the neighborhood kids.

Was taking the trash out this morning and saw one of the neighbors stop, hop out of her car and run up the street.

I saw something in the road and knew right away.

She was a sweet little girl and the entire block is devastated right now.

Keep your beasts inside people.

RIP Kibbles.

So sad. 😔

We had a Tuxedo kitten outside our front door night before last. 1am it was meowing... I hope it makes it, Coyotes are out there.

One of my neighbors, the house it happened in front of, sent me her security camera footage.

Hit by a car. Car never slowed down or tried to avoid.

I believe it's one of the new neighbors farther down the street.

That neighbor actually stopped on her way back into the hood as I was removing Kibbles.

She was very upset when she saw Kibbles laying there in the street.

She has no idea it's probably her that ran the cat over.

She's a nice lady, reluctant to tell her.

Sorry to hear about that. Kibbles looked like a cute and friendly kitty. Dealing with the motoring public professionally, most can't drive beyond the front of their hoods. It's just the way society has been trained and it's an accepted factoid.

Still sad when an innocent animal falls victim.

Of course she had no idea.

I call those people clueless. :mad::mad::mad:

Most are also self-centered - they only care about one thing.

Themselves.

Talk is cheap but it's how people drive that define them.

Ask me how I lost my Kinger......:(:(:(

Karmann tried to jump on my back, right as I was sitting up from putting on my socks. She missed.

The next-door-neighbor's cat stops by a couple of times a day for a snack. He's old and fat, but they never got him fixed, so he keeps getting his ass kicked, hence the collar.

This is Tomtom. He was very pleased I had a plumbing job to do in/under the bathroom. Most helpful.

I guess they know where the "cool" house is.

Need to vent: (need to say this here because I can't say it to my wife)
There are a bunch of feral cats at my wife's workplace (as I have previously posted), so she has trapping/spay/neutering (good thing).
Of course girl kitties need a couple days of rehab... wife didn't know what to do so I reached out to a 'cat lady' we know and sure enough she has a cage (4' tall by about 2' x 3') cool!
We already have three indoor cats (I drew the line at two cats but stuff happens) I reluctantly agreed to 'foster' this kitty.
We went from the cage to letting her free roam in the extra bedroom.
We have a Catio (I fenced in a section of our patio) but I told my wife "I don't think the catio can hold a kitten" (big gaps in the fencing).

Anyway, last night we both have stuff to do... and my wife decides to leave the bedroom open... and now feral cat has disappeared...

And I am like WTF were you thinking? You turned a feral cat lose in the house!?! (but I didn't say anything)

My wife cried herself to sleep last night (she is beyond upset, saying she "though her to the wolfs")... so I didn't sleep well either...

On positive note, Biscuit (we named her biscuit) got neutered, shots, and was a little bit accustomed to interacting with human beings. ( and this is a nicer neighborhood that were my wife works)

I'm pretty torn up about this, yeah I know human beings are out there that need help, but even being feral she would play with us and purr... I will miss her. :(

SMD-

Sorry to hear about Biscuit(cute name BTW) getting out. Funny how they can latch onto your heart in such a short time. Yeah people may need assistance but they can change that and many don't because they are freaking lazy and expect handouts, it's a lifestyle. Animals are a different deal altogether and you guys did a good thing. You may be surprised and she may remain close to your place, the feral ones can be wicked smart. Besides, it sounds like you have made an impact on her already, purring and playing is huge. We wish you the best in this situation. Onyx, now and indoor lump was the same way. When she was a kitten, we trapped her and her family. Had them all fixed, recovered and released back onto the property. Onyx was slow to leave the cage and wasn't as conditioned as Biscuit but she hung around. It's weird but they know a good thing. Smart call on "doing the right thing" with the Mrs'.... been there and done that too.

Had a similar "rescue" with a bird(scrub jay I believe). Fell from a nest at the parents ranch and as careful as I could be with gloved hands and tried to re-nest, parents never came back. Hand raised this little lump of skin, took it to work and everywhere to feed every hour, would recognize me when I walked into the room, etc. Kinda funny to see me carrying around a chirping box, my only successful bird rescue too. I enjoyed walking around the room with it on my hand fast enough to get it to open its wings as if getting ready to fly. The wife, who doesn't do well with birds anyway, wanted to see it when it was a bit older. She cracks the door to look, then freaks when it flys towards her. She slams the door right on the little guy, DRT! Talk about remorse. As furious as I was, all I could do was comfort her.

The things we do, right?

Hope she shows back up

Our "ex"-feral princess of the downstairs. At least she thinks she is. More the couch potato princess.

There are so many places and systems to help humans already; they don't need anymore help. My money and energy goes into helping the cats too. And a few dogs.

Got some work done in the garage and storage area in side yard today and of course my two kiddles hung out to supervise.

Here's Banjo.....he's living the dream.....

He's got the mandatory outdoor territorial cat small notch atop his right ear.

Of course they are both neutered. :)
