Ok, I'll admit it... My Name Is Kate and I'm a Cat-Aholic

A few weeks ago we had a visitor of the furry-cat variety on our back deck.  He'd been spotted around the neighborhood before, and had run to and fro in the back yard on occasion, but never gotten close.

Until now.  Apparently we've been adopted.  He's been out on the deck for three weeks.  He flirts with Felix (and, what's more, she doesn't beat him up for it but tolerates him - the first time that's EVER happened with any other animal besides the snakes).  He lets us pet him, he meows and walks through Neil's legs, and he's the cutest gray little guy.

We named him Spooky.

And yes, once he gets relaxed around us enough, there will be a trip to the vet so he can get checked out.  For now we're washing hands after every pet and being very careful with him and Felix (although she did just get her shots, so it should be ok for her to fraternize)

Shoot, I wish we could edit comments. I totally meant to write "spayed". I was just posting yesterday about how everyone probably thinks I'm very dumb about spelling because I rush when typing.

Anyway...of course you can comment. The black cats are so beautiful and I think they're probably very sweet, but we just can't get close enough to touch them. I'd love to pick them up and cuddle them. We spay and neuter all our pets. We'd love to catch the boy cat too, but so far we can't. We're still trying, though. (Kinda makes me feel bad to call him Spike when I plan to neuter him ;-)

I like it when people allow a feral cat colony to exist and are responsible about it. Cats really just need a few medical procedures and food. Other than that the feral ones can live wild and be happy about it. I'd love to have a bunch of cats living in a barn. I'd be happy to just feed them and enjoy their company.
