Neighbor is looking for homes for cats she's taken in

[debodun]

She must have 6 or 7, but with all their milling around, it was difficult to count. Most are yellow tabbies, one looked like a tortoise shall and one was a yellow & white mix. They seemed friendly enough. She said she took in her daughter's cats when her daughter had to move and couldn't take them. She's looking for a forever home for them (hint, hint).

 

[RadishRose]

You'd be the perfect mom for a pair, Deb!

 

[Pepper]

Only speaking for me: I must have cats in my life.

 

[Pepper]

Pics?

 

[debodun]

No, unfortunately. I didn't have my camera with me and it's unlikely I will be visiting her in the near future.

 

[Pepper]

Oh. Guess you made your decision and I'm sure it's best for you.

 

[debodun]

Yes, that's true. I think I'd like to have another cat again, then I think of
1) the vet bills,
2) trying to procure cat food in these shortage times,
3) having to get up early to feed it,
4) worrying it would get outside (in my old house, I had enough doors and walls so I could get out without letting them get out, but here every door directly leads outside),
5) cleaning a litter box.
Also my new house is relatively pet odor free.

#1 I can understand.
#3 makes absolutely no sense to me. Who gets up early to feed their cat? Mine are on MY schedule, not theirs.

The rest, okay by me. I want you to be happy. If you're better off without a pet, that's for you alone to decide.

IF we keep the under the back porch cat,it will have to live outside.

Have space for it in the barn to put a box & bedding.

My husband had to help empty out a cat hoarder's home.
Said the smell was terrible.

My other cats wouldn't leave me alone in the morning unless I got up and fed them, sometimes as early as 5 am.

 

[Pepper]

I like when cats won't leave me alone!

I understand #3
Our cat would walk around the house meowing as loud as she possibly could until someone fed her. We’d leave dry kibble out for her but she wanted her wet food. She clearly became a spoiled cat and refused to resort to being anything but. Cats are definitely easier to look after than dogs but when they get older, they can be a real handful.

 

[Teacher Terry]

I can’t imagine living without a pet. They are my biggest expense but worth every penny. I’ve never had a cat or dog wake me up to eat. They always adapt to my schedule. But you definitely have to want a pet because they are work.

6 or 7? I hope they are all fixed. She can keep them. And keep them indoors.

We do have help with spay and neuter in this area but not every areas does.

 

[LoveTulips]

Our kitty will wake us early too but we just tell her no, and eventually, she gives up and goes off to sulk somewhere.

 

[debodun]

6 or 7? I hope they are all fixed.

I asked and she said they were. All but one are toms.

 

[oslooskar]

Right now I am feeding six different cats that drop by my place for food. My deal with them is simple, you keep the rats away and I supply you with food and medical attention when needed.

 

[debodun]

I hope they are spayed and neutered. From the amorous looking stance of the of ones on the right, I'd say kittens in 10 weeks.
