You can just lure them inside with wet food!
We saw this absolutely SCRUNGLY little thing with a paw on our back door, but she bolted when she saw us. I lured her out of hiding with some wet food and a bowl, giving her small amounts at a time and gradually moving it closer to our back porch. She was entirely too young and hungry to be outside (she ate 2 whole cans of wet food at once. Even our fattest of cats are satisfied with one), so we made a plan to trap her. The trap turned out to not be necessary as she got bold after a week and let me sit with her and even pet her a bit! She did get startled and slash me up a little bit (rabies shots are ASS) but she is a sweetheart. Since she kept coming to the door we decided to quarantine our other cats and open it and lure her in with food. It eventually worked and we have her quarantined in the bathroom for now. Sadly we already have 5 cats and their politics are already complicated enough, but we found her a forever home with someone who will spoil her rotten.
Bonus Pic after a few days in the bathroom. It’s crazy how much more comfortable she looks, and she’s absolutely gorgeous.
My two cats just appeared out of nowhere one day.
The Cat Distribution System works in mysterious ways.
The Cat Distribution System
That’s just assholes intentionally neglecting to spay or neuter their pets. It’s something we should feel terrible about
I feel like this is something between a woosh and an overreaction. 😅
Eh, it’s a bit of an overreaction, but I hate people being cutesy over something that’s really pretty terrible for the animals
That I can totally see, it’s a shame that it happens at all. great they adopted the cat though, warms my heart ☀️
Absolutely. Great individual action in a pretty shit situation.
I know about that dude. Someone abandoned them at the front of my house.
Sadly we already have 5 cats and their politics are already complicated enough,
Show us the council at once!
My girls. One is an absolute slut for attention and will immediately love anyone who pets her. The other is a territorial bitch who takes weeks to warm up to new people (but is an absolute baby to us). Both rehomes.
Brain damage cat. Found half dead outside and nursed back to health. Very stupid and very happy.
Meatball cat. Found on highway. Likes food and biting feet. Does not mind being sat on.
Majestic floof. Found outside with her sister after their mom got hit by a car. Sadly her sister passed earlier this year at 14.
Politics short version: floof does not like meatball, calicos and meatball take turns starting shit with each other (currently a tentative truce), stupid cat loves everyone. Mean calico used to start shit with regal floof but she is and has always been top cat.
Nice write up, thoroughly enjoyed it 😄 Looking forward to season 2 🌞
Oh this is a season 3 synopsis, but I can give a bit more history. The 2 calicos lived here, then the 4 foundlings moved in about 2 years ago. We kept them segregated by floors for a few months, then chose ambassador cats. Originally, meatball and nice calico were getting along, then something happened and they HATED each other. Stupid cat became the next ambassador. She doesn’t pick up social cues and got hissed at a lot, but they quickly realized she was dumb and harmless so she was accepted pretty quickly. The 2 floofs stayed in the basement. Bitch calico took exception to this and regularly went down to terrorize them and got promptly BTFOd by regal floof, who is a very patient cat but can lay down the fucking law. Meatball occasionally bullies nice calico but bitch calico immediately runs to protect her adopted sister. At some point a piss war erupted between bitch calico and meatball. Thankfully the floor was mostly safe but any couch or clothes on or near the floor were ground zero. We rearranged boxes and got an automatic one and tossed a couch and have since been relatively piss free. At some point the floofs moved their home base to the living room and took a mounted box and the back of the couch as their hangouts, but since her sister passed, regal floof migrates between the couch and basement.
Also, I call her bitch cat (daily, to her little bitch face), but she really is a sweetheart when she’s comfortable. We almost swear she can understand English. She also plays nurse. If you’re sick she will cuddle you all day, and she often recognizes when my girlfriend is about to have a panic attack and relentlessly headbutts her.
I feel so invested now 😅 Hope they are all happy and you are able to enjoy your time with them more than they annoy you from time to time. I like them all ☀️
Someone make this
showchannel immediately!
They’re all cute🥰
Just want to leave you with appreciation from a stranger in regards of your effort in making sure she’s OK and taken care of in the future. ❤️
Such a pretty little gremlin 😍
Family had a former feral dumpster gremlin that was real aggressive at first - turned out a really badly broken tooth was the cause. Once the pain from that was gone, quite the sweet cat
Did you know the hoomans have wet food and warms?
Looks like my cat. Is she as much a drama queen as mine?
As she has gotten more comfortable, she will SCREM for attention. Also your cat kind of looks like my bitch kitty! Same judgemental face.
Yeah, she wanted food (way too early). I didn’t respond to her screaming, so she thought: maybe I will get his attention when I lay down right in front of his mouse and keyboard, as that dumb hooman only has his attention there.
“So you see me now, hooman? I REQUIRE FOOD! OBEY ME SLAVE!”…
“Pleeeeeaaase? Look at how sweat I am” (puss in boots eyes and purring)
“NOOOOOOW”
“I’m not angry, I’m just deeply disappointed.”
And this in loops, while constantly pushing her ass in my face and pressing completely newly discovered key combination shortcuts even computer scientists never heard of. (unable to undo)
Ive read the comments, and I love you as a human so much for helping the kitties (and the way you talk about them is hilarious)!
i got like 6 from this 100% recomend to use before its patched
quarantined in the bathroom
What does this mean?
Just let her go outside again and eventually she’ll always be with you. No need to force her to be inside.
Outdoor cats (house pets as well as feral cats) are by far the largest cause of human-related mortality in North American birds. LinkNot to mention the average lifespan of an indoor cat is 3x longer than that of an outdoor cat.
Free roaming outdoor cats are more likely to be hit by cars, have health complications, be attacked by wildlife, or be harmed by humans.
Don’t let your cats free roam outside. Domestic cats are pets and they deserve love and warmth and safe playtime.
Most people on this cats community are extremely selfish.
Cats are outdoor animals. That’s just a fact.
And I’m sure you give no fucks about the birds or other animals, or are you vegan like me?
