No a pic, but slightly funny story. Over the last week or two a large tabby cat has being going into my GF's work building. She works for a large government department in an office tower and this cat has figured out how to get in. He hides until he sees someone walk through the automatically opening glass doors then tailgates through, then starts poking around the building. He's very popular and people have been giving him some of their lunch etc. He's quite stealthy so doesn't always get seen coming in LOL. Someone took him to the local vet and they scanned him and gave him the owners details. Haha the owners had no idea of what he got up to during the day.

Thanks, Mr skull and crossbones.

Are you serious? That thing could rip me to shreds in seconds. This bad boy has to be pushing 20lbs and has claws.

I am new to being it's caretaker. My son's cat. Maybe he could do it with less drama?

Certainly, he would groove on a good brush grooming.

I wonder if anyone's ever implanted a listening device on an animal and used it as a spy.

My most recent rescue Oliver watching squirrels. He has pretty prominent primordial pouches according to the Google. Don't call him fat :-)

Someone put a camera on a cat and filmed it for a day... it is probably on youtube (more than likely several 'cat cam' videos out there now.)

I also a documentary where they put a tracking device on a domestic outdoor cat.

So I think a listening device would be easy, not getting a cat to go and stay where you wanted to listen in... that might be a problem.

Someone dumped this guy at the park I would at, the guys adopted him and made him the shop cat... department manager found out and vetoed the idea... fortunately one of the guys took him home

I'm pleased he got a good home. He does look pretty chuffed with his job as shop cat through.

One kitten adopted, all kittens getting their shots on Wednesday (adopted kitten to be picked up at vet Wed). Wife is taking them to adoption fair Saturday and aggressively lobbying them to friends and family in the mean time.
It has been a lot of work but to be honest I will be sad to see them go:















Ironically "only love can break your heart" is playing on the radio right now.

Who wouldn't be sad to see them go? Funny how no matter how crappy of a day you've had, it will completely pull a 180 when you spend two minutes with those little fuzz-balls. Gotta ask, howz Biscuit and Squeak?

Squeak is our permanent outdoor kitty... insists on roaming even though she has bed and bowls in the laundry.

Biscuit will come up and rub against us and allow pets... but darts under the bed at any sudden movement.

We are hoping to adopt Biscuit and her sister Marie (both feral but mellowing nicely) together.

Marie is the mother:



We have a two bedroom place and the kittens have taken over one bedroom as the nursery.

I'm a little surprised "Los tres gatos jefes" have not throw "una revolución" over giving up one quarter of "su casa" to the kittens.
