So I said "We are NOT getting a cat! I have spoken! My word is Law!"....

[*sic]

cats. just like women, you can never trust them, just when you think they ok they will flip out and scratch your face up..

[Coyote]

His eyes are too small, almost demonic...

[skidMark]

He looks just like the one that wanders around my back yard.The mother cat had a couple of kittens in the old Valiant in the corner of next doors section,and she brings them over to our place because it's more interesting.I've been watching them since they were little falling over bundles of fluff,now they are about the size of that one,maybe 3 months old.The mother wears a collar and all look healthy and well fed,but I don't know where she belongs.The little black and white one is so cute....and I want another cat,but I'd really hate to capture him and break up the family group.The mother will be abandoning them soon,and then after no human contact I don't think he will make a good pet.

he might just depends i guess.....

you could always take them to spca hmm but then they may put them down for as you say no human contact....what if you leave a little cat foor out for them or maybe go see them?...

no tags on the collar....id say abandoned then ...kittie got knocked up had kittens so the "family" abandoned her...this may not be the case but if it is i hate people that do that and can just throw a pet out like that

then again it might have a home and be a lost cat...but with no tags?...a cat certainly isn't going to run away when it's got somwhere warm to stay ...when it's pregnant

The black and white kitten came inside this morning,had a sniff around and got pretty close before he saw me,then got out quick.I found the mother sitting just outside on the path....''Why don't you go in there and have a look around'' she must of told him.I think she's getting ready to kick them out.My daughter does kitten fostering for the SPCA,I'll see if she can get me a trap and I'll take them from the mother before we have 2 more breeding wild cats out there.I'll see if he's going to be friendly first.

As a general rule cats need to be socialised with human contact from an early age. One of our 3 cats, Snookie is a marmalade female from the SPCA. She is a lovely creature but very shy. Being an abandoned kitten she didn't learn to trust humans so it is a long haul for us to gain her trust.

I suggest you start gently handling the black and white kitten as soon as practical. Cats are clever and quickly learn what is in their best interests.

[Oakie]

Bloody women! They know just the right look to use to get what they want- even 4 year old girls!

I must learn this look... I need a new motorbike...

Ah yes ... 'the look'. Mrs Oakie doesn't have it, daughter number 1 doesn't have it any more but daughter number 2 still has it. Those eyes look up in that particular way and it's like a bloody great icicle ripping right through your heart. You're powerless to say "no".
Enjoy your new cat ... and remember, 'dogs have masters ... cats have staff'

[Uncle B]

Hey TonyB

Sid is very cute.....Enjoy!!!

We have 8 cats here & its not as bad as others are trying to imply....just as long as you know your place in the hierarchy you'll be fine mate!

... and remember, 'dogs have masters ... cats have staff'

So true!

Cute Kitty Tony, reminds me of one we used to have.

[danb]

Haha we are going through the same thing.
We got a male cat, 5 months old from the SPCA - full of mischief and has had a few accidents behind the speakers in the lounge. Out 15 year old cat is slowly getting used to the new arrival and the growling is subsiding.

[TonyB]

He's a cute wee man all right. The 'evil' look is actually him blinking- I hope LOL. He's an unusually placid wee fella, although right now he's wandering around looking for mischief. I've been freaking out about the kids a bit, but so far nothings gone wrong.

Yea gods he's going nuts in the dirt box- bye!

[kels]

What a real cutie! He's got that look...mischievious, I'm in charge and dirt box..what dirt box, your shoe is more appealing.

[skidMark]

the growling is subsiding.

Youve been conned. I think youve bought a small dog?

[Fishy]

Awww its cute alright.... you sure you still want him? Would look good with a 12/0 live bait hook through the back of his neck....bronzies love em!. Here kitty kitty.......

is it the cuter they are the bigger fu**er of a fish that they catch?

[Fishy]

Nah just cats in general mate, they hate the water so they panic like hell and send out heaps of distress vibes which get bronzies into a bit of a feedin frenzy. Its only sharks that like cats/kittens/small children
