A cat question

[ClichéGuevara]

@ClichéGuevara - Do you know how "sir" reacts to fireworks?

We've just had a lot of very loud bangy ones go off close by and he didn't bat an eyelid.

This cat is clearly a witches familiar. Drown it and hang it from the chimney to ward off other witches. It's the only way to be sure........

Cat “ treats” seem to be very addictive and can be used to persuade a cat to move to where you want it. We got a 7 year old neutered female which my son had. He went to hospital for extended periods and eventually died so the cat had a succession of cat minders and was a bit mixed up. My other son got her but has a large boisterous “ labdoodle” dog or some such weird name. Cat and dog were kept separate for as long as possible but cat got bolder as there seemed no threat and dog was a bit puzzled by the cat having never met such a thing before. Eventually the dog stole one of the cat toys. Hissed at severely and belted on both sides of his nose. Cat now has free run of the whole house and dog has learned his inferior place. Next move is allowing outside. In this freezing weather there is probably not much chance of the cat straying too far from known warmth. Not yet tried.

One thing I'd watch out for is other Cats in the neighbourhood when you do let him out, some can be very territorial and don't take kindly to another adult Cat on their 'patch'.

Yep. My two will see off any cat who dares come into the garden. Especially Lexi, who will put entire feral males twice her size in their place.

Same with 3 of ours (Kizzy, Smokey and Cinders) Fifi 'recites' a lot of cat 'poetry' and Merlin just watches (then runs in at 90mph the wimp) but for some reason they all accept 'Fluffy' who is a full male.

By reciting cat poetry, I'm assuming you mean a gamut of obscenities of the sort that Poppy reserves for her least favourite cat show judge...

No Fifi can recite quite long passages, they are interspersed with quick bursts of insults between verses though.

Ah, yes. I know the sort you mean.

Ah, cats and food: I'm away to cut him some chicken, today he's off Felix.
Glad all is well with your new furry pal, op.
If you can, get a cat flap fitted, mine loves the freedom.
I did train mine (by putting an obstacle in front of the flap) that when I go to bed he needs to stay in ... or in the morning I'd find carnage in the living room, or worse, on the bed.

I have one thats linked to the micro chip, great as it stops other cats in .

Unless, of course, another cat follows in right behind - as a friend has had happen to her cat.

Those locking ones are fine until a Cat hits them at speed, ours lasted about 3 weeks before it was smashed (£40 in bits all over the kitchen floor)

Ooopsssssss...

No cat flap here - the girls have a concierge service.

Cats are thick and they don't like you. All you need to know about cats.
