I've lost the name of this Cat
Comments (1)Do not think you have much chance of an ID. Just too many "Cattleya" hybrids. But if it has been mericloned a lot, someone may be able to have a guess, especially if you can post a front on view....See MoreLost cat turned up and my dogs hate it. What do I do?
Comments (9)"The cat isn't fixed and he sprays everywhere." Is this what you saw (the spraying) or what you were told. I have four male cats (3 outdoor) all of whom spray whilst outside, but do NOT spray indoors. If they go in the house, they use the box like gentlemen. Sadly, IMHO, if the owner were looking for him, you would see some activity on his/her part. All of the people know of the cat, etc., but the correct number isn't on the collar? Something is rotten in Denmark. Poor cat. The distant neighbor is feeding him and in touch with the owner, yet the owner hasn't come to get his/her pet? WTH? People who own an animal then let them loose (for whatever reason) in the hopes someone else will take them in should be strung up. I would call the no-kill shelter if you're not planning to take him in. Is there really such a thing as a no-kill shelter anymore, and are there even any open spots left? We always end up taking in the ones when they show up. Pretty much how we've gotten all but 1 of our fleet over the years. This last one, "Miles" was a big project. Besides the behavioral issue toward the dogs, which we were able to overcome, he was a mess. We had to invest some $$$ to get him "house ready", neutered, shots, shaved (matted beyond belief), but he has turned into the most loyal well loved member of our gang. It has now been over a year and we are so happy we took him in. Funny thing, he is such a people cat (or I should say DH cat) as he follows DH everywhere. Shower, out to the pool, back and forth from his office to other rooms of our home. He sleeps between us on the bed every night. Love him to pieces. I hope someone with a heart takes this poor cat home and gives him the proper care. Too bad you live so far, or I'd come and get him from you. Sad that none of these people you've talked to has bothered to give this guy half a chance of a proper life....See MoreHELP, lost my cat & need advice
Comments (7)Buy, borrow, or rent a live trap or two and take them to the area where he has been spotted. Find a couple of homeowners in that area who would be willing to allow you to set the live traps in their yards. Cover the live traps with your own dirty, smelly clothing. Your cat will be attracted to the familiar scent. Also if you still have any on-hand, scatter the cleanings from his litterbox around the traps. After dark, set the traps with warmed up, smelly, fish-flavored canned cat food inside and make sure the homeowners know NOT to disturb or check on the traps until morning. You don't want them inadvertantly scaring your cat away from the traps. Until you get the traps (check with local animal control, humane shelters, animal rescues, and wildlife services for traps to rent or borrow), try searching for your cat late at night, after dark and after most people are off the streets. It's usually easier to locate a cat at night because you can use your flashlight to illuminate his eyes in the dark. Of course you should notify the homeowners in the neighborhood that you'll be skulking around their yards with a flashlight after dark looking for your cat so that you don't get arrested. I hope you find/capture your boy and bring him home very soon. Good luck, Laurie...See MoreI've lost my enthusiasm, so here's a cat.
Comments (127)Ahhhhhh! More animals! So incredibly cute! Love that funny, Oly! That's exactly how it is with our youngest, who got the squirt bottle after him three times this evening. Such a stinker, but when he does this, all is forgiven....See Morepalimpsest
