Our friends

[zaichikarky]

So there is no way to embed a photo through mobile flickr. I have to upload it on my phone, then do it through a computer. With instagram, it works only if you do it through a mobile browser and not through the app. So annoying...

Anyway, i wanted to share with everyone our little friends we take care of. Not all of them are named, but they all know us. Most of them are very feral and think of us as those big animals who feed them, but some are friendlier than others. Over the next few days or so I'll be sharing their photos and personalities. Most of them are fixed.Those that aren't are either not around a lot, or I worry the neighbors will complain. Not the idiot nasty one who says all the ferals are hers, but other nicer neighbors who take care of a bunch of tabbies. So far, I've fixed 16 of them.


First we have

Tubby was my first friend I made here when we moved in next door a year and a half ago. He is a very sweet and docile cat.He doesn't get into fights with other cats, and has a very mellow personality. He isn't fat, but very motivated by food. He'll always be there at a feeding, and only allows me to pet him when I'm giving him treats.

Tuber is probably Tubby's daughter. If not him, then another older Tabby who is probably Tubby's father. Tuber is Hissy's only surviving kitten. Hissy wants nothing to do with her, but Tubby takes good care of her. Her other best friend is a big fuzzy grey cat, and I'll show him later. Tuber isn't much like her mother. She is way more feral. While Hissy likes people and hates cats, Tuber is friendly with other cats and doesn't like people much. Justin has tried to work with her a lot, she will take treats and pets, but she gets very grabby.She is playful and very cute, but not really tame. She is about 10 months old.

They are both very striking looking cats. I feel so bad they are feral.

Don't feel bad for them. They have great lives. They live up on the hill and there is very little traffic out here. They get fed multiple times a day if they know where to go and the females don't have to be stuck having kittens their entire lives thanks to what I do. They still sometimes disappear or get mauled to death by the neighbor's German Shepherd, but that's just a part of their lives. I think they have it very good compared to other ferals.

I guess their lives are better. I just hope they find s warm place to shelter in bad or cold weather.

We had a huge snowstorm a month ago and I think all of them survived. One kitten is missing, but she may be just elusive. Some did better than others, but they recovered. They can take shelter under our deck or in many other places.

Those two are pretty good-looking cats - that's good that they're looked after.

Aw, cute!

She is Hissy's daughter, so she has cool markings. Tuber's markings are a lot... more cut out than Hissy's which blend together because she's long-haired. Justin really likes Tuber and wants to adopt her, but he'll also need to take in her friend, and 3 cats are way too many for a person who has allergies.
