Thank Lois. He's a friendly chappie who is now on to his fourth bowl of food ;-) Sounds like a stray who has trained himself to eat to full capacity when food is available, because he can't be sure when he'll encounter more. My Patches was like that when he first came to me - he'd empty his own bowl, then polish off whatever Miu had left of his for later snacking. (But it's astonishing how quickly an ex-stray learns to be fussy, once it realizes there'll always be a next meal!) Right you are! Back when I was luring my mostly white, black and white tom inside so I could capture him and take him in to be checked and neutered, he'd eat a full can of Friskies, and then move on to the dry food. Now that he's become my Rocky (or more correctly, I've become his human), he turns up his nose at Friskies, and only eats small portions, expecting me to give him more when he wants it. He's still uncomfortable inside, so eats outside - which creates a problem, as I don't want the strays I feed to decide they also should be eating better ;-) |

"wafflyDIRTYcatLITTERhcsBOX" wrote I have a visitor… F&N applaud your kindness in taking care of the little tyke, but Frank especially hopes you find other lodgings for him soonest. He doesn't want no strangers hanging around his ladycat. And a black and white one, at that! Purrs that he is (re)homed soon. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki |

To cut a long story short, I now have an overnight visitor in the library. One which has now been sprayed with Frontline and one which has also wolfed down two full pouches of catfood. I've rung PACT. Tomorrow I take the cat to the vet to be blood tested and to go to PACT. I've done some notices to go into local shops/vets to say a cat has been found, in an attempt to trace an owner - it may just be a cat that's wandered a bit too far from home and ended up in the middle of the countryside. Purrs and good wishes for unknown cat to find his slaves, or his onetruehome. Thank Bast that s/he found the right people to help it. Pam, Rob, and the NC nine |

Whilst out cycling tonight, the Unfit Family was pootling along the quiet lanes of Norfolk when "Meeeeow!!" That's so sweet that you rescued this cat. I hope he belongs to someone and they're found ASAP! But enquiring minds want to know: how did you get this cat home on your bicycle?? Joyce |

Awwww...such a lucky kitty!!! Lucy is purring up a storm that his jaw
is ok and he finds his way home, wherever that may be! Found!!! This morning I went on "owner hunt". I called into lots of places in the surrounding villages. The cat is called "Tetley" and he belongs to the people who have a small post office in one of the villages. Tetley had been gone 2 months and they were very, very pleased to see him.

"wafflyDIRTYcatLITTERhcsBOX" wrote in message ... I have a visitor. Whilst out cycling tonight, the Unfit Family was pootling along the quiet lanes of Norfolk when "Meeeeow!!" It ran out from the side of the road. A black and white cat. We are in the middle of relative nowhere. This is an adult cat which is very friendly. There are no houses about. "Meeeow!!! PPPPUUURRR!!!" This is one friendly cat, but what is it doing out here? A feral/farm cat would not be quite so affectionate with a total stranger. "Meeeeowww!" This large short-haired black & white, yellow-eyed cat looks up at me, meows and I see it has something wrong with its mouth. Possibly some sort of ulcer or other gum problem. "Meeeeeow!" A car goes by - it runs back into the undergrowth. When the car has gone it comes out again. "MMMEEEOWWW!" To cut a long story short, I now have an overnight visitor in the library. One which has now been sprayed with Frontline and one which has also wolfed down two full pouches of catfood. I've rung PACT. Tomorrow I take the cat to the vet to be blood tested and to go to PACT.

Cheers, helen s Sunday, 10 August 2003 Presumably PACT will be able to scan for a microchip, I hope the cat is home soon. -- Adrian A House Is Not A Home, Without A Cat. |
