Darned cat!!!

[Nannysally99]

Our cat, Michael, was born to a feral Mum, under my husbands work bench in his factory. She took 3 kittens away, but left him behind. So he came home with us aged 10 days! No fleas thank goodness, but we had to have a quick feeding and toiletting lesson from our vet. We have great memories of him, our kids 'furry brother' and he sadly died aged 19 1/2
From a liver tumour, sad. We never replaced him .....

I'm not a cat fan but I sure enjoyed reading everyone comments! I'm sure if a tiny homeless kitten found its way into our garden I might just have to keep it.

Awww - this thread makes for a lovely read, despite the alarming headline, thank you DWS!

We're all big 'softies'.

I still have two cat shaped hole in my life, hope they get filled soon.

She is the sweetest, tiniest thing but looks a lot better than she did when we first took her in. I'm glad she's going to be in good shape in another couple of weeks. We are getting very attached to her.

We need photos, DW!!!

What a sweetie! I love tabbies

She's lovely, DW. Glad she's found a good home with you.

Most of the cats I've had over the years have been ones that "arrived", and then stayed to fill a cat shaped hole. I think a lot more cats choose owners than owners choose cats!

Ahh Charlotte is lovely, I love tabbies.

Gorgeous DW, she really was lucky the day she turned up at your door!

Ah, sweet cat!

[Knight of Albion]

That was a fine thing you did.

You've got a good heart, dear DW.
God bless you.

I thought I'd give an update. Charlotte is still doing fine and still seems attached to me more than anyone else.

November/December of 2018 Mr. Peepers showed up. He was just a bit more than a kitten but my has he grown. He's a big orange cat. If he hadn't shown up he might have been dead since the temperatures outside hit -25*F two nights in a row and we hadn't tamed him enough to get him inside. We set up a heated, insulated shelter/igloo for him.

About 5 weeks ago Tinker showed up. She's still just a kitten and is at the vet's going under the knife today. She's almost white with a tinge of yellow.

Do you think word has gotten round that people should dump their unwanted cats in front of our house? That's 5 cats that have adopted us in 13 years. Fortunately our daughter wants this one.
