Awwwww. Nice story. I hope they live happily ever after.
Of course, somebody in the neighborhood is stapling up posters today, looking for his lost black cat...
LOL! Too true.
Microchips are good but only sissies declaw their cat. (Why don’t they pull out all their teeth, while they’re at it?)
I knew someone that was going to declaw their cat and they kept telling me it wouldn’t hurt them. So I suggested that they also have the surgery and remove the ends of their fingers down to the first knuckle. It won’t hurt them, right? They didn’t declaw their cat.
Cats are like that. Not all, but many cats go from home to home as it pleases them and as they find friendly people and good eating. I've had dozens of cats, and their loyalty is not unwavering. I've had cats disappear, only to come back a few months later like it's no big deal.
Right now I have no cat or dog, because pets are not allowed where I rent. But there is a well-fed solid black male cat who comes around just for a visit. He doesn't need to be fed. He just makes the rounds, staying a night here, a night there. No collar or tags. He is not feral at all, used to being pampered.
Bingo. My first thought. To a cat one can opener (human) is as good as any other.
I had a stray show up at my door one time. It stayed for about two years and then went on its merry way again.
Years ago I had a black cat walk through my open front door, hiss at my dog, jump up on my couch, turn on his back and fell sound asleep. He lived with me about a year, surviving a company transfer then one day disappeared. Six months later on the day I was leaving Ata to move to Nashville, as I was locking the patio door and closing the Uhaul that cat jumped up on my patio, rolled over on his back, let me scratch his tummy and then got our of Dodge.
I was within 5 minutes of leaving there. Cats are unique.
Dogs are wonderful.
I had one of my kitties declawed. He is gone now, may he RIP, but I have 3 more cats and I will never have them declawed. It is barbaric.
The last one passed away in 1996 and was stuffed and included in the Squadron Museum!
I was stationed at Minot in the early 70s and would join the pilots when they would feed the Kats!
It didn't, you're just another free meal.....
Hee hee hee — if only they could!
Good job!
