that little pink nose and those big green eyes. I wanna pick it up and kiss it right in the furry face
-
She's absolutely gorgeous! :heart: Does she have proper owners who take care of her?
-
yeh I think so. I've seen her quite a few times. she always looks well fed and happy anyway. just a very friendly cat. there are a couple others who are really friendly with people round there too. a lot of cats would run off if a stranger approached them
although once when I saw her I was walking Lily back home and she got a bit scared :laugh:
here's one of the other really friendly cats. haven't seen her for months tho... :(

Now I need a cat fix! I think I'll visit a friend from my old neighborhood and see her two cats! :laugh:

I can't, I'm in a no-pets building. I also have some allergies and am away from home (working) too much of the time.
I also am more of an auntie type...I dogsit a pack of shelties a few times a year when their owners are on vacation,
and I love them all dearly, but I am happy living alone with no dependents. :thumbup:

You could become a postie.
I've got quite a few cats greeting me every day.
(And when it rains they all try to entice me to let them into their house)

:laugh:
poor furballs out in the rain. my Flois never out these days. she just sleeps on our bed all day and all night lol
well except when she needs to go weewee or poopoos
-
i really hope you dont pick the cat up, and take it home...
someone on WP said they did that. even over long distances, wtf :S
thats basically detaching cat after cat w its feeding family. my cat doesnt move more than an hour away from home, if some douche aspie picked her up, and just carried her away, i'd go into self-defense mode, and kick his fucking ass :(
nobody steals my kitty... no matter how cute she is...
/vent
nice kitty btw.

That would be the hard part. :-\

Poor pretty furball. Why do people get pets and then let them live outdoors? :(

when i moved now, they recommend you keep the cat indoors for approx a week, to let them re-adapt.
it was HELL.
Some pets are simply made for the outdoors. when i finally let her out she managed to get into a beef with both crows and a local fox, but shes happy as a lark.
its torture for her to be kept inside, simply unbearable. for both, when she suffers, so do i.
my mother tried often to talk me into getting an apartment, but my kittys the main reason i have to avoid apartment. cus letting her in and out easily would be impossible in an apartment. i live in a basement flat, w a window right to ground level. perfect for kitte.
also, here in the new flat, whenever i wake up, shes rolled up by my feet :D she hasnt done that since she was a kitten :D nothing's like a good "AWWE!" to start your day :D

I do know of some pet cats who are happier being "indoor/outdoor," now that you mention it. My friend had a cat, years ago, who arrived on her doorstep as a stray, already accustomed to roaming free, so she was allowed to continue, and she was OK. I just hate to see pets being neglected, but Soph's neighbor's cat looks pretty well cared for, just sad that she was out in the rain. :-\

Because the cats want it too.
My former cat, he wanted to be outdoors most of the time. He'd drop by for a cuddle and some food.
Was a cat with chronic breathing problems, and outdoors was best for him. Inside too long made him get a nasty infection quickly.
My neighbours cat, she's welcome for shelter here, or for some attention, and she may do that for a while, but then she wants to go again, rain or no rain, snow or no snow. Minus 15 may keep her in longer. But otherwise, she'll be gone after an hour at the most.
She just loves sitting on something a bit from the ground under a table and watch the rain or the snow. Or sit on a bin and sunbathe.

i find odd that you "know of some" such cats, when thats the only type of cat ive known of most my life :D
maybe your a big-city dweller? in a big city, cats dont really "fit in", and its not practical w block apartments. so city cats are often most likely abandoned cats.
like in spain there was lots of cats roaming outside, and they were all famished strays, cus nobody will willingly allow their pet to run freely among traffic.. suburbia is awesome for cats tho.
in norway stray cats pretty much dont exist. seeing a cat outside here means only one thing; outdoors cat, who will run home for dinner when its had enough fresh air. theyre all pampered, spoiled furry little things. nothing to feel sorry for at all :D
in fact, ive never met any cat owner who keep their cats indoors, simply cus its considered inapropriate. people dont have cats, if they dont live in a place they can easily let it outside.
my dad also took in a lost stray kitten, and it developed its own charmy way to knock on the windows when it wanted to come inside. cats develop all kinds of signals for wanting doors to let them in or out :D theyre also remarkably quick to adapt or change these signals, if they no longer work.

as for the fox, kitty was actually calling for me. i barely heard her :D
i finally turned down all volume, and got confirmed a desperate call of hers, from some distance :D so i went outside, just to listen, and saw a HUGE fox.
now, thats not like the size of a horse. foxes are small. but this was big for a fox. like a small dog. for a brief moment i thought "what if this fox just so happens to know that it can bite humans in the balls? then im fucked!" but it didnt, and ran off on some freakishly long legs for a fox. big goddamn fox :S
but yes. thanx to kitty, i can now make a list of animals i love, that i have to scare away...
cats, dogs, birds, foxes... it will probably grow...

It's cats who have people. :laugh:

That's nice that strays are pretty much unheard of in Norway. I do live in a city, and even on the residential streets, it can be dangerous to let cats stay outdoors much. My friend's cat that I just mentioned was hit by a truck and ran off into the woods! We thought she was dead, but she limped home a few days later with a broken pelvis, healed perfectly, and lived several more years. Others are not so lucky.
There is an abandoned building near the restaurant where I work, and feral cats are always hanging around there. :(

There's a joke about that: "Dogs have owners, cats have staff!" :2thumbsup:

that is true. in all reality, i think its _almost_ like that. cats arent THAT selfish. she even brings me a live bird some times :D
i think cats simply see themselves as either the equal of the owner (sibling, friend) or the "offspring" of the owner.
my cat "looks up to me" a lot, however odd that sounds. its usually not noticeable, and she needs me only for cuddles and food. but whenever a situation gets a bit scary, she will instantly look to me for a solution or protection (most recently, a snooping fox. previously aggressive neighbor cats.). which i find totally cute and charming of course :D
but yes, people tend to know dogs and then see dog behaviour as "universal animal behaviour" cus they lack references.
cats arent pack animals in the same way, so their relation to another individual, human or animal, is a lot more varied individually, than that of dogs.
couldbecousin; i worry about traffic, i lived right near a big rush-vein before i moved here - right next to an even bigger one... but the cat seems to know to avoid those areas, and halt her curiousity to whats on the other side. she probably has more than enough land to explore on this side, especially having moved next to the woods and all :D
hell, she has to find out where that damn fox is coming from! :D
