Tuesday Thots

It is not easy to live the life of a community cat. Like Popps said to Fern last Sunday after her encounter with him in the house, " Out there was tough so he should be able to find a home like me." I am glad she has a lot of confidence in our ability to help him find a home :). The mediators got us a place to board him so he does not have to be  released to the carpark again. I was rather anxious as I had tried to board him once (read here) and he got sick. Even the vet then told me I should release him back to his own space, the carpark, where he would feel safe. I was reminded of this post that I had done for him by an administrator of a Facebook site for cats called Kittens for Adoption. She had asked me where the clinic that I took Jeffrey boy was. Now Jeffrey is on her site as well. 

So I was very relieved to have gotten some pictures of him in his present boarding facility. He looked relaxed and calm. I can say with certainty that he can actually live with other cats now, when I am asked the question and yes, he uses the litter as well. I am sure this might increase his chances to be adopted although the reality here is cats his age don't get adopted easily. There was someone who offered to foster him before but now she has changed her mind as she does not have the required grills to her flat.

The cats all looked so laid back and relaxed. He is also getting Reiki as well as I was anxious that he feels well. He can't afford to get sick like before as then he might lose his place here.

His other caregiver told me that he and his buddy are not in the carpark often these days and therefore he should be safe. But I am afraid that he might get caught by pest control if the complainant calls them although the TC said they would call the mediators first. So better be in boarding I think. 

FatBoy and Community Cat Visit

This is one of R's long term boarders. He is a community cat and his name is David . He won for himself 3rd place for Best cat at the cat show last Sunday. 30 cats actually competed for the prize. He is very friendly and would sit with you at a drop of a hat,

This kitty is also a community cat. He simply loves people and sat on mine and Cousin R's lap without any invite. he just walked up to us and sat on our laps :) He is all white and heavy and very beautiful.

FatBoy is looking much better. He is given only the renal kibble and R said he always gets excited when he sees wet food. We decided that probably it would be ok to give him a little wet food as a treat so he would be happier. he is cleaner and a little heavier but still thin. He pees a lot and drinks a lot like all kidney cats. R gave him his potassium pills neat. WOW!

PD is also very friendly and has learnt to socialise with others. R carried him about like a baby and he insisted on sitting on Cousin R's feet so we could take his pics :) He is very beautiful and R said if we bring him to the cat show, he could also win some medals as he is very friendly and calm :)

We tried to call the auntie t tell her of our visit but she could not be contacted. The auntie is very worried about FatBoy and one of her friends had frightened her telling her that R may not be feeding FatBoy a lot of food. We tried to tell the auntie that Fatboy would not eat a lot of kibble as it is more filling than wet food but she doesn't believe us. She thinks that R has been ill-treating FatBoy and the place may not be good. But I think if the cats look healthy and they are clean, friendly and happy, FatBoy and PD are in good hands!
