Who knew that moving to an acreage would come with so many cats lol... i moved here over 5 years ago and from the first spring onwards, there have always been stray cats ... the first one we saw lives on my lap now ... (my avatar is the first picture i took of him... he wanted more pork chops ) Then it was a mama cat and her 5 kittens, the mama abandoned them when she realized i was feeding them ... i found homes for 4 of them ... one on my lap as well ... but one kitten left and i thought she had died but came back the following spring ... with her litter of 3
Found homes for them too but it was getting expensive so i thought i wouldn’t be able to do anymore for the mama cat and her new set of 4 kittens besides continuing to feed them (she is so feral that i couldn’t figure out how to catch and spay her) but by the end of february I started doing the math and with one male and 4 females i would be overrun with kittens by June so I bit the bullet and found a vet that specializes in barn cat TNR and caught them all ... what an ordeal ... i thought once i let them out of my entrance room after they had healed that i wouldn’t see them again, but they all came back and are still feral but loveable too ... so they are mine
I was going to say, long story short, but that’s a pretty long story but now i have a new intact male coming to visit... my question is, will he stick around if the females aren’t gong into heat? The one outdoor male feral stands up to him, but they don’t seem to be fighting ... but my inside former stray Jæger is a bully boy and i know he will want to fight ...
And of course everyone loves pictures ... Jæger is the orange tabby, and his little sister Cinder from the first litter. Best buds
