Meadow cat increase

On December 2, 2024 By CarynIn Cats

We’ve had an additional cat join the meadow colony. He is a large fluffy black tom, who has seen some scraps. I hope his notched ear was from getting fixed and not the same fight that caught his lip giving him a permanent fang exposure. He is getting along with the other cats, and gets close to me, but doesn’t trust me enough to brush him yet. On the brushing front, I currently brush two long hair outdoor cats. I’ve been able to get close enough to brush Momma cat (a long hair calico) a couple times, but she has a long memory and doesn’t trust me.

It’s time

Sophie would like me to know that it is time for dinner.

She would really like to go out in the front yard, where she will await her vittles and sit in her sunny spot. I don’t actually feed her at the table. But climbing up there does get my attention when the head bumps of my leg fail to send the message.

Today you get a picture of Thor the gray tabby, because he is very photogenic.

Suspicious cat

I put American Bison wool insoles from the Buffalo Wool Company in my shoes to help give them some cushion, and I knew I would need to keep them up and away from the cat. Thor the cat loves natural wool, and he loves my shoes, so I was taking a large gamble combining the two. For a couple weeks I was very good about keeping the shoes up on the shoe rack, then I was reminded why when I set my shoes on my chair before my morning walk and came back to a suspiciously happy cat cuddled in next to the shoes.
