gf brought a good point up i didnt think of like how are we going to get her down for a vet trip? :lol: its a given she will hide up out of reach to escape
It might be the perfect place for a nice soft carrier for a cubby!It can also serve as an advantage.....you just need a nice extendable ladder and she'd likely scoot right into her " cubby "..... ❤Beats hiding here,there n everywhere when she's a scaredy-cat

game misconduct game misconduct --She will know it's her litterbox without bringing poo with you! I brought in 6 ferals, and they all used the litterbox right away, they knew what it was for, despite never seeing one before.

Lari Lari --the Grain Free kibble was a bust. They all hated it & it made Demi's poo soft. They seem to do better on the higher fiber hairball kibble.

I was in a store today listening to a woman who escaped being attacked by a cougar b/c she had a pen in her pocket and started poking at its eyes. :oops: Whether or not she was making all this up (she seemed rational) I am getting myself an airhorn & a whistle. Apparently the trick is to look at them but not DIRECTLY at them (no eye contact) act big and back away slowly (hopefully into your car).

Id have a hard time being convinced of her story ,not so much because the chances of getting attacked by a cougar are so low ( partly)but because of her claims of poking the cougar in the eyes with a pen from her pocket--- it just sounds like like she's " lion",lol

All kidding aside I'd like to know how it all came about and why he allegedly attacked her...

Yes, Margot Lane Margot Lane get yourself an air horn and if you see a big puddy cat look" big",raise your arms and don't turn your back or crouch down like you would with a feral little guy.....

That makes since. Wish my cats could understand that. I can tell when my cat Maggie wants to chase peaches. She stares at her. Peaches may have cancer but so may my dad. I have no money to take her to a specialist

Big wheels weren't invented yet when I was a kid but we had little red wagons we'd jump in to go down hill and you landed wherever you landed,usually crashing into something! Soap box cars were before big wheels but you steered them with 2ropes like reins of a bridle- not so precise!

By the time my son was born big wheels were around for quite awhile,couldn't stand the noise of them racing down the sidewalks so I bought my son a nice little electric sports car,he was so used to driving his little car he didn't like the idea of having to " pedal" when he got his first bicycle!!He asked "why doesn't IT GO"?

Where my cats are
It’s tradition for all the grandkids on DHs side to ride a wagon down the hill in my inlaws yard. Sometimes 2-3 kids at a time. And yeah sometimes into the fence. Sometimes into the corn field. :lol: Our oldest nephew (who started it) is now in his late 20s but he and DH still participate sometimes. :lol: Its flat where we live so my kids don’t get that kind of experience here. :disappointed:
