Sometimes I wish animals could talk.
Dec. 26th, 2008 11:50 amBecause then I'd be able to ask Mr Crotchspider if he was indeed a stray that needed looking after, or if he was just a cheeky bugger trying to steal our food.
This was yesterday, although i could have taken this first picture now, because he's sitting in exactly the same place, staring balefully into the room wishing he was inside being fed.
Yesterday, Fidget got upset with him. There was a period of Fidget sitting inside the window, Crotchy sitting outside the window with their faces up against each other (low meows coming from Fidget). I opened the kitchen door, and Fidget went outside. There was then a prolonged period of sitting, with backs pointedly at each other and much ignoring. Fidget pottered down the garden, came back and came back inside. He is getting more relaxed with Crotchy, but not so much that they actually get on now! He doesnt seem to mind us feeding him, as long as its in the garden and nowhere near the house.
We weighed Crotchy a few days ago, he was 4kgs exactly. Since then we've fed him a pouch of wet food twice a day, and he is now 4.3kgs. The neighbours next door usually let him in every now and again, so I can only assume they feed him too. But they've been away for the last week or so - I think thats why he's spending more time here. Also, I think he likes the attention, for as well as food we also give him strokes and fuss and cuddles. He purrs like a trooper. The last time we were worried about him we put a collar on him with a note in the identibit to say please call us if you own this cat. it took 3 days for us to get a phonecall. Stupidly, we did not keep the phone number of the woman who called. So we can't just ring her up and say "look, we're a bit worried about your cat". If Fidget didn't hate him we'd just let him come and go as he pleases, but we can't risk upsetting Fidget so much that we lose him..
