My Feral And Rescued Cats

[NY cat man]

As I mentioned previously, Grumpy disappeared for eight days recently. When he reappeared, his right foreleg was swollen, and he was putting no weight on it. There is a gap under our back fence so him and the other community cats can come and go, and I had seen two empty beer bottles lying on the ground. I suspect that one of our neighbors might have hit him with a bottle, but of course can't prove it. The people behind us are also cat people, so it wouldn't have been them, but those next door..........?
Anyway, Grumpy seems to be much better, and is walking normally again. He also is spending a lot more time in our back yard. Maybe he considers it a safe haven.
I built a couple of risers to hold my potato containers, and put down mulch to keep the weeds at bay. So, guess where Grumpy likes to nap?

He should be. He's been getting three cans of wet food a day, plus his regular dry food, plus treats, since his return.

Hek continues to gobble down the Greenies! She is now demanding several sessions a day with Da Bird, and actually got the zoomies! REAL zoomies, not "run ten steps and give up!" I seem to have a kitten again.

Can’t stop thinking bout Grumpy.

Can’t stop thinking bout Grumpy.

We do too, which is why he has food, water, and shelter available whenever he chooses. I have noticed that his territory is much more circumscribed than it once was. Exactly how old he is, I couldn't say; 7? 8? 9?, but he stays closer to 'home' these days, so maybe age is catching up with him.
Anyway, aside from when I have to use the lawnmower, or weed the flower beds, there's nothing to disturb him here. It's just too bad that, even with all the exposure to us, he has never shown any inclination towards socialization, preferring to remain aloof instead.

I know she won't see this, but I really, really miss Jcatbird .
Can't believe the internet / cell reception has been so bad for so long. Really ridiculous.

 

[di and bob]

They better give it free for a long time when it comes back on.

 

[tarasgirl06]

Me too, Margot Lane , bigtime.
And me too, rubysmama .
HAH! di and bob ! That'll happen when politicians are honest.

This is, absolutely, me! I like to think I'm all calm and wise, but...I can go from 0 to HISSYFIT in the length of my own body!

I find that hard to believe. You are always calm and wise.

The sun (finally) came out today, and so did Grumpy.

With an expression like that, how could he be anything but a Grumpy?

Ditto on the Snorgles front. Grumpy’s a winner.
