Fed Cat
Cat behavior is the funniest thing. You think you are providing a service by putting down a scrumptious meal for your loving fur ball (not in this case!) and they look at you like you’ve given them a plateful of rusty nails and barbed wire. Meh sums it up. Silly cats.
and then they reward you by offering you partially eaten gophers, lizards, crickets, mice…
He’ll eat when he’s hungry.
With the confusion cats cause other people, you have to wonder if that contrary nature points inward, too. That’s probably not the case or there’d be a LOT of cats committing suicide. 🙂
Twink is one of my cats to a T! Glad to see that orange feline again!
Oh, my. This is the opposite of my cat (who my sister once referred to as a “fuzzy meatloaf”). She wolfs down her food quick enough we A) had to cut her back to three fixed-size portions a day and B) are convinced she’s part dog.
Cats… People… The more someone else wants your food, artwork, things, stuff, the more valuable it becomes.
firedome… You forgot small birds and garden snakes. They’re just returning the favor and sharing some of their own food. Better partially eaten and dead, than still alive and running free inside your place.
Firedome… they are quite the little hunters. Found another earthworm in the dining room this morning. Mouse is honing her skills.
Meem n’ Joe… Our other cat, Sassy, loves the neighbors… they put out cat food and adopt any strays. Sassy gets fed 3 or 4 times a day….
Jack… you’ll like the rest of the week then.
stick… Sassy brought in a live mouse who apparently was playing possum. The dang thing set up shop in the library and Judy and I had to extract it! Good fer nothing little…
brig… Maybe your cat, Sassy, was just trying to get you some exercise and share some thrill of the hunt.
A very nice abandoned cat, belonged to neighbors renting further up the hill who beat a hasty eviction retreat, has been adopted by my mom and her neighbors. Though the cat stays at one neighbor’s place (the garage there has an outside cat door, as does the garage-kitchen door), he still comes over maybe 2 to 5 times a day to get himself some extra food.
I tried putting some cat food outside for that cat early on, in very little time it was covered in ants. Live and learn.
I think my older cat used to do that–eat at our house and someone else’s. (He came with the house we were renting.) After he got hurt he became strictly an indoor cat. I don’t need the vet bills and he didn’t need to be outside. Our other cat thinks he’s a tough outdoor cat until he gets out. Then he’s mister-pitiful-why-am-I out-here? Just don’t believe in outdoor cats anymore since I found out what eats them. Dogs and Coyotes are just part of it. A friend’s cats kept getting eaten by Racoons!
She’s so nice to that deranged little monster.
Hey, is that the cat from Nina Paley’s “Fluff” comic? If so, it’s an awesome cameo!
Uh-oh! Is somebody celebrating the weekend a little early?
Joe… I thought things get a little slow on the uptake when you’re nursing your hangover…after…St. Patrick’s Day. Well, Jack of Gulls did say that he liked seeing Twinkie appear in the comic again, and Brig did reply that he’ll like the rest of the week then. Maybe she ment the same comic appearing for the rest of the week.
Dada…. OMG! GAH! WHAT THE…? I’ve never seen “Fluff” before! But the opening title is Mr. Fluffers and Twinkie!!!! Have a look and seen for yourself (Paley’s cats are so well drawn and simply adorable!)
Ruth… those are some bad-a#@ Racoons you got in your neighborhood!
stick… I HATE ants.
Those are hilarious. Especially the one where Checkers finds out what “fixed” actually means.
With the look on his face, what I hear in my mind is the sound made by Chris Griffin in the second Family Guy Star Wars special when Stewie gave the “I’m your father” line …
“whuuuuuuuuuuuut?!?”
