Whatever works! LOL! If you know there are strays in the neighborhood and they aren’t in your yard, Ghost could be the reason.

You might need to get another carrier since Peaches and Ginger use the one you have. Ghost won’t want to get inside.
OR, he could take it over and then THEY won’t be able to use it.

Tigermaus is thriving, and he is HUGE!
He weighs about 8 lbs and is just over 6 months old,
probably closer to 7 months.
He’s gonna be a BIG boy!

He’s really got a nice personality, and does not
use his claws when we play with him.
But he will tackle you, and leap up to catch your
hands and stuff like that, He was starting to really bite during his play, and that’s what I want most for him to stop.

I also don’t want him to “spray” like tomcats do, ugh!
Yikes!
Look at the time!
I had better get to bed!
Love to all, and hugs alla round!

I think he’s already taken it over. I have opened the front door a couple of times and he zipped out of it.

It might be why mine stay in when it’s cold. Ginger has a hidey-hole in the storage shed at the back of the yard that I’ve put a soft towel in for her, but Peaches just has me. sigh. LOL! Even before Ghost, he wouldn’t go in the carrier. I think he didn’t feel safe...felt trapped.

Nighty-night, Sis! ((((hugs))))

See you next time you pop in for a bit! Maybe tomorrow night for another quiz. Even though the codes are messed up. LOL!

He IS going to be a big boy when he finally stops growing! Pixie’s lil girlies MIGHT weigh 5 pounds but just barely. They look like they’re around 4 1/2 mos. old maybe. They’re going to be munchkin kittehs. LOL

Thump him on his nose and say “NO!” when he tries to bite. That’s how I break the habit when we have a cat who likes to bite and it works. They’re trying to establish that THEY are the “alpha cat” and you just need to let them know YOU are.

The spraying is something the surgery should take care of. Ours who go outside will still spray out there but don’t do it in the house. Whew!

Good night and sleep well. *Hugz*

Aaaaaaaah, it’s his carrier already, is it? LOL! I didn’t think he’d be comfy in it - - that he’d feel about it the way Peaches does.

When our cats stayed out at night, they didn’t like being in enclosed places. I had boxes with blankets in different sheltered spots for them to curl up in and they used those.

Now they only go out during the day and if they get chilly, they come back inside.

I’m just thankful he had a place to stay out of the bitter cold that we had last winter. Mine could come in...he could not.

We don’t have any real sheltered spots except the front porch and that small storage shed, and they are taken. Peaches curls up behind the rain barrels or he refuses to go out and keeps me company. And I don’t get much sleep. :)

I think tonight is going to be one of THOSE nights! And it’s not even cold. Oh, well. At least he doesn’t attack my toes under the covers like Ginger used to do. ugh! THAT is a rude awakening! LO!

I’m glad he has a place too. No fun being stuck outside with nowhere to get warm. He’s lucky to have someone who cares about him at last. It sounds like he doesn’t have another home since he’s at your house so much.

Oh boy, aren’t you the lucky one tonight? LOL
But maybe he’ll want to go out at the last minute and you’ll get to sleep peacefully after all. :-)

Man, I hope so. It’s too warm to cuddle with a warm kitty. LOL! I still have a fan going, it’s so warm. But tomorrow night, it’s supposed to be in the mid-30s, so there is that.

I guess I should go. Need to be bright eyed tomorrow and tomorrow night for the quiz! See ya then!

Heck, just give him the boot out the door. LOL! It worked the other night.

The temp still hasn’t dropped here either. Still 66. I don’t think we’re supposed to get into the 30s at night until Wed. but tomorrow night will be quite a bit cooler than tonight. No open windows and the heaters will be put back to work. *sigh*

Sleep well. Catch ya tomorrow evening.

Goood mornin', Early Birds.
Of course, it's now afternoon for some of you! LOL!
What can I say...
....I got sidetracked. :)
I enjoyed my tea this morning, though.
And it is a bit cooler.
Will supposedly be actually cold tomorrow.
'Bout time, I say!
Anyhoooooo...🦉.....have a Terrific Tuesday!
And for heaven's sake VOTE
...if you're in a state that has elections.
((((hugs))))

Charts and darts and Freddie. I switched MOS to 13B for E-7. Chief of Smoke was the best job! Loved the Hip Shoot and coordinated HE under Illum.

I learned a valuable lesson from one of my wire guys when I was an E2. When he brings you that battalion line, wait until HE calls YOU before you start cranking the phone.

Crank phone (repeatedly) while wire guy is making a splice = get chased around the FDC by irate wire guy with an E-tool.

LOL, you made me remember some FA terms I had forgot, Chief of Smoke, chart and Darts and of course Freddie FADAC.

Good times at Hardstands 1,2 and 3 at Grafenwohr, W. Germany back in the day.
