She Came In Through The Bathroom Window.

[Motu]

We have a visitor for Xmas,her name is Whitney,but my granddaughter calls her Dusty for obvious reasons.Whitney is known to us,she used to live 2 doors up the road...or she did until they moved out 2 months ago.Looks like she has come home and found the wrong people in her house...she's been living rough,looking a bit thin and weary of humans.After 24hrs she was back to normal and settled in here.I'm keeping her in the kitchen,dining room lounge area and putting her out at night....but last night she came in through the bathroom window at 4.00am.

Her owners are still in town,but I don't know their name,just by sight and the car they drive.Finding them over the holidays might be hard.My wife won't be very happy when she comes back next week and finds a cat settled in.She's a friendly well natured cat and I enjoy having her around....I wonder if she will ever make it back and stay in her new home,or do I have another cat?

You have been chosen. Go with it.

Gorgeous cat.

[slowpoke]

Yep, they say cats pick their owners more so than the other way 'round. Congratulations!

[Naki Rat]

Nice cat. She'll have you trained before you know it ;)

[Creeping Death]

Nice one!
I have a cat that climbed in through the Kitchen window,she used to belong to the neighbours but they had moved out a month before and left her.I knew it was theirs as I'd seen them feeding her etc.
I woke up one morning and she was asleep on the couch,I knew she was hungry,as soon as I turned the light on she started meowing,all I had was raw mince in the fridge but that satisfied her.
She's been a part of our household for 3 years now,been through 2 preggies and next to my partner is my best mate.

Omgomgomgomg.
Don't try toooo hard to find the owners, it looks like a keeper! Wish my flatmates had let me keep our walk in cat...

[Motu]

I hope she's been spayed - I don't want to be landed with kittens for showing a little compassion.Her owners were responsible pet owners,which shows in her nature.They had bulldogs,British and Boston,never barked and never off the fenced section without their owners...pretty rare for this area.Dunno what they fed her on,apparently not Home Brand Tuna dry food...she turns her nose up at it.I have to mix it with milk and stroke her while she eats,she'll have to get a bit more hungry between meals if that's her way.

We now now a cosmopolitan and multi ethnic society. So, if your wife objects, the cat will make a good stew. Marinade it overnight to remove the rankness found in the meat of a carnivore, and casserole it with plenty of garlic. So, your neighbours will at least have provided you with a good dinner.

[Motu]

Why waste a good forager - she could keep me supplied with rats,mice and birds for years.I had a cat who would leave at least 2 bush rats on the deck every morning.

Good score, had a kitten do that very thing here, walked in through an open ranch slider, did the how do nod at me, then the same nod to the dog and walked in the kitchen demanding food haha, i thought how cool and fed him !

Discerning tastes, and she knows what's good for her. She's not interested in this cat biscuit bollux, she wants meat!

[McJim]

You have been adopted. They are manipulative creatures.

Cute though.

I've buried two rats and a bird this week. Plus a mouse that disappeared completely, presumably that was too tasty a tidbit to waste on the humans.

never have understoof why the pet food manufacturers don't bring out rat mouse lizard insect and wildbird flavours.

Ours' will happily scoff a mouse, guts, fur and all but often turns up his nose at mince that looks and smells fine to me. What's that about?!

You should let the new people in the house two doors down know that you are looking after the cat, if you don't have the old owners details.

The old owners are most likely to go back to their old house to look for their cat.

The new owners are likely to have the old owner details anyway.

[Motu]

It's hard to find someone's address these days with confidentiality laws....but a member of the family can break the rules and find out their new address on a data bass....when he goes back to work.It's a small town,but I don't know anyone who knows them.I'll go up to the old house today,looks like all their visitors over Xmas have left.

I'm puzzled with the food thing,we know her and she used to follow my daughter home just a few doors up,stay the night and eat porridge.Home Brand must be real crap.

Drown it.

My moon must be in Leo,it's all about cats at the moment.Sad news from a daughter,her cat was run over last night.It was a tiny kitten I found in my back yard a couple of years ago...at least she had a good short life.

This afternoon some fat grey cat turns up on the back porch,I said g'day to him and he rolls on his back like he's an old mate of mine.So I put Whitney out the door to sort him out.Half an hour later she jumps in the lounge window onto my computer desk....I look up and he's on the windowsill ready to come in too! I think the word has gone out in the cat world.

I checked the people in her old house,they know nothing of the previous tenants.I put the food she won't eat outside...a stray came past,took a couple of bites,then walked off leaving it there.Looks like you have to pay for quality.

[XRVrider]

Good she found someone willing to sort her a meal, some attention etc.... our little SPCA cat, who is a great little cat, has up and gone walkabout. Wife is getting stressed. Its not like this cat to go far from home and us, and without food for over a day.. Oh well, cats huh, she'll probly be back soon, fingers crossed.

All I can hope us that your visitor cat hasnt got owners like my wife, chewing her fingers off with worry. Sounds like probly not though.

Many years ago our cat went missing for over a week. Turned up outside the bedroom ranch sliders at 4:00am one morning in the middle of a rainstorm with the loudest YOWWL I've ever heard. Walked in, slept for 16 hours solid and got up good as gold. 10+ years later still going strong.

[Motu]

We had a cat that could get lost 200 metres from home...we could hear him yowling from the house.We'd go down and guide him back,silly bugger.He went missing a week before we shifted...they know these things.

One move I went back to the old house to bring the cat home 13 times,finally leaving him there - sometimes they just need to be at what they call home.
