Our outdoor cat, Squeak (neighbors moved and left her behind):

Alright!!!!Great news!!!! She knew what a good thing she had at your place. Congrats!!!

I don't know how people can do that with pets. We plucked up two that were abandon down the road for the same reason. They are living large at my parents ranch, AKA The Doolittle Farm. Horses, goats, sheep, mini donkeys, llama, chickens, turkeys, dogs, cats and a wayward lop eared bunny. Not including all of the other critters found in the area.

Squeak is lookin purdy cool too. Just a Kitty lookin for some family luvin. Overall, it sounds like a good news day for the Forum!!!

Weird chain of events... young couple moved in two doors down with the cat... then had a baby... baby was grabby and the cat didn't dig it but was faster than the baby. The couple then got a puppy (a black or brown lab I think). As the baby and dog grew Squeak started spending more and more time in our back yard. We have a laundry downstairs with a cat door, my wife set Squeak up with a bed and food/water bowls on the washing machine (called her Squeak because of her tiny squeaky meow, the baby next door named her 'meow-meow' but I vetoed that when she became our cat). When the couple moved out they flat out said "she spends more time with you than us so you might as well keep her."

The last of the feral kitties my wife has trapped and we will foster out:

I blasted and painted the front brake backing plates on my 356; I set them out in the sun last weekend to 'bake' and one of the outside cats barfed on one of them.

perfect!! no Purrfect.

i've decided i dont like cats. i love my cat, but only by default.

they are gross. i cant handle the litter box. there is NO..none, it doenst exist. there is no good place to put a cat box IN a house. i am not training mine to go in my toilet. no thanks. finding floaters is not acceptable..and i miss occasionally going #1..i know my cat sucks at precision. she coats the side of her box. she wont hit centermass on the toilet.

and i am not convinced cats love us. she just want pets and food. both are benefits for her. i think if i stop with both, she would leave. oh..she want warmth. when she sits in my life, it is cold outside. that is not a coincidence.

and wtf is with the exit strategy from a litter box. how can a single cat drag out a teaspoon of litter exiting a cat box?

somebody please tell me how long can i expect this thing to live?

i'm grouchy..sorry. my wife and i have been playing a brutal game of "litter box chicken" we are letting it go until someone swerves to safety. i swerved this morning..i damn near dumped the entire thing and started fresh. it would have been easier.

Litters are PITA and I clearly understand what you mean about the amount that escapes the box each time it is used. We bought one of these through Amazon. Works well enough that we will buy a second one to extend the area our cats have to clean their paws before they hit hardwoods or carpet.

We fenced in a section of our patio and keep the cat box out there... don't know if that is an option for you?

As an old time cat owner (or slave) let me say you need to clean the box twice a day... any less is not healthy for the cat (or you).

For me cats are like women... can't live with them... can't live without them.

Two minutes into a store in Amador and Simon the guard cat finds us and becomes our new friend. I'd take him in a heartbeat, if he had needed a new home. Very cool cat, tried to crawl inside my jacket and was perfectly content being carried around.













Didn't jump off when I stood up. In fact, he just hung out. Got heavy after 20 minutes at 15lbs. Just looking for some warmth and some pettin.



Followed us around the warehouse jumping up on the furniture whenever we stopped. I'm thinking they know an animal lover when they see one.
