Good Morning Monday - what's on your menu today RNY'ers?
When I lost my 19 year old Gracie last year I decided I was too old to take on another cat and life was easier not having to worry about and take care of a pet. A few weeks ago someone posted a picture of a cat on Facebook. It looked so much like Gracie that I contacted the person and said I wanted to see the cat in person.
It was living in the woods behind her house and her cat had been hissing at it. I said I was not sure if I could keep the cat if she caught it, but said I would find it a home if I could not keep it myself. I gave her food and a trap to use. She did not need the trap because a day later she was outside and the cat came to her easily. She put it in a carrier and took it to my house.
I had to get some cat food and a litterbox and decided to see if it was tame enough to keep in an apartment. It ended up that the poor cat is a male about two years old who had been declawed. He had a chip but I can not find his owner. He is extremely affectionate and well behaved. He was also very clean and well fed so had not been out there for very long. I am going to keep him and named him Gizmo. I think it was the day we were coming up with pet fantasy names that I got him.
The vet found no diseases but a bunch of minor scratches probably from him being attacked by other cats while out in the woods. He would not have lasted much longer out there and I do not know the cir****tances but it sickens me that someone most likely just threw him away.

Good evening everyone.
not much going on. Just feeling blah.
we're still having issues with the big cats attacking miss Tange. We have had collars and diffusers. It's getting frustrating.
QOTD: 3 dogs, Frankie, Mona and Skippy. 3 cats, Percy, Opal and now Miss Tange. It's a mad mad existence.
I had eggs for breakfast, a piece of cheese for lunch. Finally a hamburger patty with a slice of cheese and garlic sauce.
here is miss Tange just about 39 minutes ago.
