How many black cats...

fit on a garden chair? I think there's 4.

I'm having some ground work done and have moved the cat house. My two have refused to move with it, hence the garden chair I've set up for them. Wouldn't you know it, next door's farm cats don't appreciate change either, and have moved onto the chair, also refusing to use the cat house in its temporary locationConfused

I give up!

It's a temporary measure, lads - honest😾

p.s. my cats have free access to the house as well.

Oh what an amazing picture!

I havent befriended them, because I dont want them to become dependent upon me.
You're too late my friend, they've befriended you Grin

Those chairs are going to have to stay, aren't they. I hope you like them there 😂

Want2beme · 09/05/2023 01:10

Thought they'd help me trap some cats tonight🙄

Can't you use a drop net over one of those lovely chairs?

More to the point...why are you catching cats??? Everybody needs more cats in their lives, not less 🙀

2 of those cats are mine. The other black cat belongs to the farm next door, but he hangs out in my garden. They've all been neutered. A stray just happened to be passing through, so I thought I'd try and get him.

We've got a lot of stray cats in the village that are looked after by a couple of ladies here and I help with catching and neutering any new strays, rather that than poor females having endless kittens, expanding the population. It's a miserable existence being a stray.

Did you manage to catch him? (With the help of your handsome assistants).

Pixiedust1234 · 09/05/2023 22:42

Ah fair enough with catching for spaying. Ive caught two strays to give to CP and it looks as though there's a possible third so i understand why. However I thought you were catching as you had run out of chairs 😂

Hopefully you managed to catch the right one.

Want2beme · 10/05/2023 01:00

I caught a lovely ginger boy, who'd managed to dodge the trap for so longGrin

Placemarking so that I can see more pictures of cats on the chair.

Want2beme · 10/05/2023 12:21

Just for you TheShellBeach. Only 4 at the mo. My 2 are gelled together on the red chairGrin

No sign of them, but plenty of evidence against them in my new cementGrin

We had a similar problem when we painted the front steps and forgot to keep the cats in.

Lots of little red footprints all over the new carpet and table.

Not to mention trying to get it off their paws. I mean, catching them was hard enough.

Oh thank you so much!
I am loving these cat pictures.

In our front garden, the neighbourhood cats gather.

So there are our two and the two from down the road. They always turn up in the evening and sit on the wall together - or one of them sits on the dustbin.

I must try to take a picture.

What a lovely thread!!! The black cat bundles are so funny!
