Royal Felines

[Tremayne]

Earlier this summer I shared a long-winded descriptions of my kitty interventions this summer. I'm happy to report that all but one of the kitties have found a good home--all at the same place. A gentleman starting a feed store in a shop behind his house wanted 3-4 spayed/neutered cats to reduce the rodent population. I supplied him with the neutered gray male and the black momma cat (now spayed) and he agreed to take her kitten and spay it later. Everyone seems happy there. I've got one holdout who refuses to be caught in the live trap available to me. I'm out of trapping ingenuity for the moment, so she'll be my outside cat until I can get my hands on her (can't imagine when that will be) or I find a more suitable (larger) live trap. But there's a barn full of hidey holes waiting for her whenever she allows herself to be caught and her best buddy (the gray male) waiting for her. I think if I could explain that to her, she'd come along peacefully, but alas, my kitty communication skills are fairly primitive.

 That is amazing! I love the little houses!
Great you found your kitties a good home Tremayne! Hugs!
Good luck with the elusive cat! I hope she lets you trap her.

OH my that is WONDERFUL! Mine are not gonna be allowed to see this.... or they will demand it too!

 My royal felines have a cat cottage with an attached scratching tree- but those little cat houses are too cute! I would be in heaven with all those kitties! Not letting the Royal Felines see that posting either! LOL.

I can't imagine what dinner time is like with 660 kitties...
A giant fuzzy stampede all wanting to love on you at the same time...
That would be so cool! 

[C Dragonworks]

If they are as aggressive as my four and as demanding...WOW! I can only imagine!

[Queen Bonnie]

 Just the cost of feeding that many kitties would be awesome- but the love would too!

Just let it not be like the little old woman in the milk commercial!

Anyhow, my kittens played a little kitten extortion on me last night. Tuesday night, Isis convinced me to give her the cat food in cans. Wednesday night, again, through guilt of me eating something nice while they give me those kitten eyes. They are only really suppose to have it every other night.

Last night, I was about to bike to work (because Uncia's in the body shop) when Isis has ducked around the corner in the direction of the den. Well, I can't find her and I have to get to work. Well, I know one thing that will make her appear.................

................right, that's the trick! Disappear right when I need to leave! That's extortion!

Selkie's right eye has nerve damage so it's permanently dilated which is why it glowed blue in the flash of the camera while her other eye looks normal

Humbug.

Got a call from a neighbor today. "Six," the friendly black tomcat who has run the neighborhood with a velvet paw for as long as we can remember died yesterday. His heart apparently gave out finally.  He lived 3 doors down from us, but would come by and "help" me pack the van for trips to fairs and other events, occasionally snuck in our house with people during parties. Once he narrowly avoided going to Chicago with us.

He was on his third household in the neighborhood. His original owners are said to have named him Six because he was their sixth cat in the house. When they moved he stayed behind and adopted someone else. He often came by in the morning for second breakfast or a late afternoon snack and probably would have moved in with us if his latest housemate had moved.

Raising a glass (and giving my own cats a little catnip) in memory of a neighborhood fixture.

I am so sorry to hear about Six Groomporter. We have a couple neighborhood cats and recently had to have one put down, its alarming how attached you can get to the little wanderers of our lives.

Sorry to hear that

He was a nice neighbor, he introduced our current boy cat to us as in "these people are a soft touch for a free meal"
