Cats: Ferals and Domestics

Philosophical Meanderings, Too Posted on December 8, 2012 by JeanFebruary 11, 2016

This week’s kitty progress: None of the kittens seek us out, but they are all easier to catch (in an enclosed space–all bets are off if they get outside). They all purr when I hold them. Rossie was the last hold out, and she started yesterday. Ruby. She’s generally the … Continue reading →

Cats: Socializing Ferals

Philosophical Meanderings, Too Posted on November 30, 2012 by JeanDecember 12, 2016

Last weekend, we had Pretty Boy Floyd here at the house and his sister in quarantine at the vet’s for biting the staff during her initial visit.  We now have the entire litter captured. Thanks to Tammy for providing the real Pretty Boy Floyd’s sisters’ names.  I decided to use … Continue reading →

Cats: Pretty Boy Floyd

Philosophical Meanderings, Too Posted on November 24, 2012 by JeanDecember 12, 2016

Pretty Boy Floyd is the latest kitty in the feral kitty saga.  I captured him the evening of Tuesday, Nov. 20th.   I got him transferred to a carrier the next morning, and I took him in to get examined and initial shots.  I already know he’s too young to … Continue reading →

Cats: Feral Update

Philosophical Meanderings, Too Posted on November 17, 2012 by JeanDecember 12, 2016

I bought a trap this week and borrowed a trap from the vet.  We’ve captured three kitties and I estimate I have at least four to go.  First, we have Little Orange (eating) and Peaches.  Little Orange is a little girl, and Peaches is a boy.  I managed to trap … Continue reading →

Little Orange 2 (Peaches)

Philosophical Meanderings, Too Posted on November 7, 2012 by JeanDecember 12, 2016

Little Orange 2 (I think I’ll call him Peaches) has been sitting in the side yard all afternoon.  He’s been fascinated with something in the roll of fencing (which is horribly overgrown with weeds).   He started on that brown spot on the other side of the blocks, facing the … Continue reading →

Cats: Back from Vacation

Philosophical Meanderings, Too Posted on October 19, 2012 by JeanDecember 12, 2016

We got back from vacation on Wednesday afternoon.  In time to pick up the cats from jail.  Our vet says, “They know you.  They don’t get up for anyone else.”  I expected them to know me, but I didn’t realize they didn’t move for anyone else.  I do know they … Continue reading →

Cats: Orange Marmalade

Philosophical Meanderings, Too Posted on October 6, 2012 by JeanOctober 6, 2012

I heard a cat crying outside a few days ago.  The cat was yelling, actually.  I went outside to see what was up, and as I rounded the corner to the heat pump side of the house, this orange ball of fur was in full cry — mouth wide open.  … Continue reading →

Cats: Local Outdoor Cats

Philosophical Meanderings, Too Posted on September 29, 2012 by JeanSeptember 29, 2012

After a boom of outdoor cats overrunning the neighborhood a couple of years ago (it reached it’s peak about the time we took Roxy in and fostered her through the birth and weaning of the kittens), we’re starting to see more outdoor cats in the neighborhood again. Unfortunately, this small … Continue reading →

Cats: Ajax

You tend to hear a lot about Lady and Natasha. Tarzan gets lumped in there pretty regularly, but you don’t hear much about Ajax. Here’s the first picture I have of Ajax:

Ajax and Pericles

I received a text in March 2006 with that picture attached. Ajax is the kitten in the photo.

He’s grown and looks like this today as he studies the front yard through the storm door:

Ajax

He is a sweet lovable cat who only warmed up to me out of desperation after hubby “abandoned” him with me enough times and he grew desperate for attention. He’s still hubby’s cat, but he’ll come to me for attention sometimes now.

He gets a periodic nickname. His current nickname is Dali Cat for his recent tendency to drape himself over the edges of things. This poor kitty gets carsick every time we have to take him further than the vet’s, so he’s the main reason the cats get to spend long weekends by themselves, even when we’re coming to San Antonio, where they can enjoy the great outdoors (while supervised).
