A new cat claimed me

Hi any one remember that I posted several times about my tuxedo cat called Zeus, an ex feral who I adored and died suddenly when I had him for a year. I said I would never get another so technically I haven’t but this little lady had been living in my neighbours garden for several weeks eating my hedgehog food. on the anniversary of his death, as though he had sent her, she waltzed into my house and hasn’t left my side since then! She’s called Lily and she is tiny and loud.

She's lovely! Nice little white chest patch too. It's clearly destined!

WhateverMate · 28/10/2023 17:35

Have you taken her to be scanned for a microchip?

She's lovely btw but someone could be very worried about her.

joangray38 · 28/10/2023 17:42

Yes she’s not chipped

Have you checked your local FB groups?

I've managed to reunite 2 cats with their owners over the last 18 months and one of the cats lived about 7 miles away!

I do wish owners would get their cats chipped though.

Lovely little inkblot. Congratulations OP.

CheezePleeze · 28/10/2023 18:27

Beautiful OP but have you/your neighbour taken any steps to help find her owner?

I'd hate it if this was my cat as my heart would be broken if he didn't come home.

Congratulations! She must have known that October 27th is national black cat day in the US.

Yet more evidence that the cat distribution system is in excellent working order.

Yes we put pictures on the local fb groups and checked the local lost cats pages.

You can be her “this’ll do for now” home while you wait to see if anyone claims her but likelihood is she’ll be staying with you.
And yes brilliant Black Cat Day timing.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 28/10/2023 22:07

My cats walk round with a “this’ll do till something better comes along” look.
4 years on I think it’s safe to say they’ve settled for us
(CPL moggies both black )

She's beautiful ❤

I've got one of these eating the piggies food despite me trying my hardest to block him with bricks and boarding in the beginning. After a full summer of trying to make friends we've only just managed to use a scanner. No chip 😥
