Nuke chases other cats out of my yard, reducing my crazy cat lady tendencies, and brings me presents. He's not a normal cat, so he doesn't bring me normal cat things, like dead mice and hairballs. No, he's awesome, so he spends the days combing the neighborhood, and leaves me these:
Do you recognize those? Ok, does this help?
That's right. I've got a crazy cat that spends all day hunting for popsicle wrappers, and leaving them piled on my porch. If I throw them away, more appear in their place. If I kick them off the porch onto the lawn, a couple hours later, they're all stacked nicely in front of my door again.
The only problem I have with Nuke is that I'm at capacity, and cannot take in another cat. I have my 3 cats, plus the mama from the litter that I could never find a home for. I cannot take in a 5th cat. And I HATE the idea of outdoor cats, but I don't want to take him to the shelter, since I'm afraid they'll just put him down. So I have this stray cat, who I'm pretending isn't my cat, but I'm feeding him, he's vaccinated, and on flea control, and who I absolutely adore. So, uh, anybody who's short some popsicle wrappers want a cat?
You know my mom has adopted a 5th cat, right? An outdoor cat who adopted them as his own? Crazy cat ladies...
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't hear about that.
ReplyDeleteWhat I don't get is it's not even like I'm seeking them out. They keep finding me. And why just cats? I swear there's some sort of kitty pheromone homing beacon all over my yard.
Yes, Crookshanks adopted us a couple of summers ago. Huge yellow and very sweet cat. Wish I could have him inside, but Loki and Pandora would both have a fit. *Sigh* I understand, Karin. I understand. They always find me.
