DD looks besotted. Smile

Ollivander84 · 26/04/2017 21:11

Ollie is asleep as usual! His cat sitter is coming from CPL to see him probably next week so we can sort out when my op happens. She has mentioned she wishes her own cats were more cuddly GrinWink so if Ollie remembers and likes her she may be lucky!
He really doesn't like men Confused

Do you have any idea why he might not like men?

EachandEveryone · 26/04/2017 21:54

Is it their deep voices.

Well after saying mines a flat cat she's buggared off into the night. We had a fight over the catflap and she won. I hate her going out on a night but I have so much unpacking to do I'm going to crack on and hope she comes in for a wee soon.

Ollivander84 · 26/04/2017 21:59

cozie - nope, not a clue. I suspect he was left/abandoned by someone as he's always frantic when I get home and he hates being out if I shut the window

It's very sad.

Ollivander84 · 26/04/2017 22:07

I can't even begin to imagine how he survived for four years. He was on my chest last night (gazing at me as usual!) and I just think "old soul" every time I really look at him
He's incredibly careful with cars too, if he hears one he shoots in a bush or hedge until it's gone

OP posts:
cozietoesie · 26/04/2017 22:11

Well he was only 'just' surviving going by the pictures from his early days. Like a different cat he was.

Sorry for reminding you.

She likes wet places - sinks, showers, baths ...

Very much so. I think he went downhill when the elderly lady who was feeding them died. Lucky that someone nice got CPL to take them in

I am holiday but DP phoned to say he'd found half a dead rabbit in our bedroom which he presumed MrBlackCat had bought in.... 😬😠😮😂😳🙈🤢

Lanaorana2 · 26/04/2017 22:22

Olli yours is the happy ending to end all stories.

Mr C was homeless until I got him too. I'll spare you the grimmer aspects, but I reckon he had been on the street for ages too. I got him age 6 but he still expected to be fed 4x daily like a kitten, which suggests he got the boot as a baby. Most cats only survive a year on the road, your kitty is truly exceptional in every way. :)

Mr C is terrified of rats, foxes and being locked out of the flat. He was also frightened of people and didn't like cuddling, but he couldn't have changed his mind more about that.

The flat more or less runs to his timetable - I am less precise about my domestic requirements than he is. :) That is not difficult. :)

What's interesting about living on Cat Time is how much I glean from his past life.

Ollivander84 · 26/04/2017 22:26

I didn't know what about a year, that's really interesting. The bit we don't know is where he came from, he just turned up with two female cats in this woman's garden. She had them neutered and fed them and they lived in a broken greenhouse. She died, CPL took them in
The minute I brought him home, he strolled out the carrier and sat on me purring Grin

I'm too tired to figure out pictures, but CandleCat1 is curled up in one of the baskets behind me asleep - or pretending to be asleep, because he isn't snoring! Usually, you hear his wheezy snore from the next room, never mind from right beside him. CandleCat2 is somewhere out on the ran-dan as usual. About the only time he is in is when the weather is vile. Clearly its slightly less cold this evening, as he is out. The last 2 nights he has been in the other basket.

They don't get to sleep with me anymore. They stay in the kitchen so they can come and go through the cat flap as they please and since there isn't a litter tray inside (they won't use it unless they are stuck inside), this is the best option. They are always waiting for me when I come down in the morning.

SecretNutellaFix · 26/04/2017 22:39

My girlcat had a productive evening.

She waited for my DH to come through the front door after he finished work and pushed a plate onto the floor in the living room smashing it into 3 pieces.

cozietoesie · 26/04/2017 22:50

How did she get to the plate to push it? Wink

caoraich · 26/04/2017 22:55

Aw I like these tales of cat rescue-age
I am missing mine very much, stuck in a hotel in London!
I don't think I'm being missed much if my mum's knee is anything to go by!

Ps a post deleted by mnhq!? On a nice pet thread!? How intriguing
