Okay---I let the outdoor catts out, this morning. One wanted back in immediately, and when there was some thunder, another one wanted in. I'm still anxiously waiting for #3. She is the most hardcore outdoor cat I have. She can find shelter. But I check to see if she wants in, every few minutes. Yup.
You are a good cat dad, Bobby.
Louie has settled into the household so well and so quickly, and Raymond seems to have completely accepted him. When the shelter took him in last October, they had a vet examine, treat, and neuter him. The report of his condition at that time makes me want to cry. I'm so glad we can give this little guy the good life he deserves.
Oh no, that is so sad! Is that where your screen name came from? I always wondered, since it's an unusual one.Originally Posted by pinkytoe
We once had a very mellow orange cat named Pinky for his pink toes. Back when we used to let cats outside, he got into some antifreeze and died shortly thereafter
Okay----Catts are tragic little creatures. Thatt's I guess why catts tend to have litters; to insure the survival of the species. But yeah---one o' my upcoming projects is a dedicated cat yard; a fenced area well inside the (fenced) boundaries of my lot. Plans are for it to be about 1600 s.f., with a vinyl-coated wire mesh overhang to prevent them from climbing out. My experience with building Huskee containment gives me the know-how to build this. Yup. But yeah---they can be outdoors and safe at the same time. See? So anyway--my torbie Puma seems to be the most negatively affected by this sickness that's making the rounds, and yes she was vaccinated. But, she's eating, and thatt's a good sign. She was an outdoor catt when I picked her up in a sandwich shop parking lot on a very busy street, where she'd been hanging out for weeks. But guess what? She's never shown any inclination to want outside! Hopefully, Puma will recover VERY soon. She's a wonderful catt. Also, I'm inquiring into there are any good restaurant up in Deadhorse, when you kids attend the annual HBCC International Catt Clubb Conference. If there aren't, you may hafta bring your own grub, to chow down on. Yup. Hope thatt helps you some. Thankk Mee.
“Catios” are a thing now for people who have a lot of money to blow on cat enclosures.
I don’t want to give my cats the opportunity to get fleas and ticks, so I’m not interested in a catio, but it is certainly too bad that they will never feel grass on their feet and the wind in their hair. I could open all windows in our sunroom though on a breezy day, they. they might like that.
Okay---this is not a "catio", nor will it make much of a difference in whether they have fleas. I have fleas on the housecatts, if I don't keep them treated with flea repellent, during all but the winter months. My out door kitty run will allow them to safely keep fit & happy and sun themselves in fresh air. The three outdoor-indoor cats really are pretty healthy, considering that they are over 10 years old, and lay out in the road, at times.. Ha. So there. But yeah---building my kitty run, where everyone benefits 24-7-365, is a MUCH better investment(x44444) than a tripp to see Draculas' Castle or whatever. Yup. Hope thatt helpps you some. Thankk Mee.
TYVM, RR. But, I will try harder, anyway. But no---I did not realize Louie had been in a shelter for almost half a year and was in need when he came in. I'll just betcha he's VERY happy to have a good home, now. Yup.
Look at Louie now, living the life he so richly deserves. Yes, that is my pillow and my side of the bed, lol.

it didn’t take him long to take over, did it? Totally self-centered they are and I love them for it.
Handsome cat, handsome bedding. In my experience cats position themselves in the exact center of the bed whenever possible.
