So... there's this cat

Posted : 1/21/2009 8:39:22 PM

It was crying at my front door, and it's below freezing (supposed to be 16° tonight), so.... I let it in. It's obviously a pet. It said, "Hi dogs!" and marched right in. I put it in the mud room with a bed and some water, then I took it some of the dog's crock pot food. It was HUNGRY!!! It's chunky, so I know it's getting fed. I can't let it back out tonight (not that it would go). It's cute! It's gold with white feet and black spots. I guess, tomorrow, I'll take it to be scanned for a microchip? What do you do when a cat walks in your front door? I'll make up some found cat flyers, I guess. It doesn't have a collar, and I do *not* need another pet!

First things first - get a litter box!(of some kind.....first 2 days I had my kitties I just used a cardboard box lined with a trash bag)

If you don't find it owners, I guess you can find her a home? Sounds like a girl(calico cats are almost always girls)

It's not calico, it's spotted!!!

I put a box with some dirt in it, for the kitty. I guess I will find a home for it if I can't find the owners, *sigh*. DO NOT need a cat!

Right? Cat breeds totally confuse me.

Your terrier doesn't try to destroy cats? Lucky Wink

Definitely don't need it, LOL! And nope, my terrier brat child LIKES cats! Ena Bean likes them, too. If they're outside, and run, Emma will chase them, but inside, she's fine.

It seems fine. I can't tell if it's a boy or girl (not a cat person, LOL). It stinks!!! It's making me itchy, too. It's getting a bath, tomorrow, if it wants to stay here. It is skinny with a big belly, so I *hope* it's not a girl with babies. It's super, super sweet. Love bug kitty. Even likes the dogs.

it could also just be wormy. One of the techs at work was feeding a stray cat that she thought was pregnant. Brought it in after feeding her for like a month and had her xrayed so they'd know how many, and instead found a belly full of poo Surprise (and the cat was spayed)

That will be good, especially if it ends up sticking around. Worms are much easier to find homes for than kittens!
