So I think someone dumped a cat at my door last night. UGH. :foreheadsmack:
I was on the phone with my dad and I walk outside to stand in on the front step to talk to him and I see Bronco the barn cat and then another black and white cat that I had never seen. So it ran under the car. I squated down to see if I could see it and out of reflex snapped my fingers and it freaking came to me!
Hes this big black and white cat, long haired and really pretty! I ran in the front room of the house and told my husband that there was a strange cat outside, and I was grabbing Bronco's food bowl. The cat tried to come in! I was like oh god its trying to come in! My husband was like, let it?! I didn't. I called me mom, because I'm a child. LOL
So I decided that he could stay in the kennel in the front room. I put some food and water and a litter box in there and let him relax for a little while. Then I had to give him a once over, since I felt some mats on the back of his neck while I was petting him. They're just fur mats, no wounds. And I think its a boy. I sat with him for like 20 minutes last night, I sat in the floor and he laid in the dog bed next to me! My hub was like, "maybe you should leave it alone?" I was like, "come and look at him, hes the calmest cat I've ever seen!" He came into the room and my hub was "holy crap, he looks comfortable!"
So he slept in the big kennel and didn't make a peep for the whole night. I put the dog bed in there for him. He did knock over the water, but thats not the end of the world. And he pooped in the box! I think he knocked the water over while scratching to cover the poop. But the poop smells TERRIBLE! And it wasn't a formed poop, it was a big blob. Like he hasn't eaten a decent meal in a while. Poor boy!
I let him out of the kennel and put the litter box outside, I'm going to change it when I'm done with this. And I opened a window because the smell is that bad. He's now laying in the window!
So I'm going to check around the neighborhood thats behind us, this weekend and see if hes any of their cats. But I don't think that he is. Hes dirty, and his feet are dirty, fur is matted. And where he should be white, its not white, its brownish.
And if I can't find his home, I'm going to take him to the vet for a once over, take him to have him neutered and then he can be my second barn cat because neutering will take away the urge to wonder. Hopefully it all works out!
Either way, I don't mind having him here. My husband might have something else to say, but if I can't find his home, then hes got to stay.
And my husband called me the Pied Piper of Cats last night. At first he thought my mom was the Pied Piper of Cats, then he realized, it was me. When I walked through the front door with three cats running passed me. Pied Piper of Cats. LOL
Happy Friday! HAve a great weekend everyone!
