Receiving end of a Cat (update)

[SS MAYFLOAT]

of getting a road trip kitty. Some on this board knowI have a love hate relationship when it comes to cats. I love it when I don't have to see cats on my property. I hate it when they get into my boats, trucks, and kill the wild rabbits.

Last monday night, my wife kept saying she heard a kittens cry. Normaly I would go seek out the would be rabbit killer and ..........

The next morning I go out back and I heard the tiny little meows of a kitten. Sure enough I got a look at a tiny gray kitten. It was real shy and skittish. Yesterday, I finally got it tamed enough to eat out of my hand and now it wants to climb all over me. So I guess I have an outside cat now. Something is wrong with me, I hate cats but don't know why this one is softining my heart. Guess it could be the love for my grandkids because I know they love cats. At least it will show them it is okay for a person to change their mind no matter how strong their convictions are.

Got to name it now. I like DOC as in "Dropped Off Cat"!

Just call it DC - and you must be gettin' old, or maybe it is all those pain killers you are taking that is softening you up???!!!!???

An outside cat is good to have. My neighbor has one and he keeps the rodent population thinned out. Now if i can just keep his paws off my new truck.

I share your anti-cat sentament, but have let several of them glom-om to my heat strings over the years. Cats (IMHO) are mindless predators. Unlike a dog, they only tolerate humans for the food and comfort we can provide. Not sayin i blame them. I am inherantly lazy... If I could get some big two-legged monster to take care o me, I might curl-up on top of their puter monitor too on occassion.

I liike "DOC" a lot. I have a dog that used to bolt whenever I opened the door,and not come when called -- spent many hours hunting her down. her name? "Mia" .That's the name her former owner gave her, and I found out it fit her to a tee -- you know --- M.I.A. ?
Thankfully, she has grown-out of that behavior, and learned to come when called (took a shock collar, but....)

Don't it figure? I finally made amends to my hatred for cats. If you can't fight them join them,,,right? Something told me that this kitten was something special. Guess I was right.

Early this morning a mother and her daughter knocked on my door asking about a lost kitten that matches the desription of the one that came to my house. It turns out that this kitten meant a lot to the mother and daughter because their father/grandfather got it for them. The day after they got it, the father/grandfather died and the kitten became missing. So to them, this kitten is precious to them. I took them out back and they were pleased that I took care of it.

Man ole man, the number of ferril cats that I have taken care of and then this one was an exception for a reason. Why or how come, I will never know. The lord works in mysterious ways is all I can think of right now.

Your last statement is so true SS.
Long story short.
I ran over this little gal.
A turtle shale.
Took her to the vet, said she should have been dead.
Won't have nothing to do with anyone but me.
She will sit on my lap while I am on the computer and not make a move.
I get up to go do something and she is right beside me.
P.S. She don't like JRs either.

Got one myself, Spinner. Follows me around like a hound. She's grown now.

Not at all SS. All that is missing here is your recognition that there is a huge difference between Kittens and CATS.

Yea BB, mine is grown, but thinks she's still a young whipper snapper the way she treats the JRs.

The only good cat is a dead cat. The first animal I ever killed in my life was a cat using a baseball.
