got me a cat

[TedTheLed]

yeah if she's been an indoor cat for ten years, you should keep her that way.
ten feet sounds like a long way down, maybe you could put her in a kennel or some other enclosure and bring her outside? but that might make her nervous so keep an eye on her if you do.

looking out the window is like watching tv for a cat...(even better if you have a bird feeder in her view!)

My cat is indoors outdoors, happy cat, mean as heck when tired though, He's conner and hes a tuxi cat, pics to follow.

my cat is sweet as can be once she knows ya.she always is close to me as she can get.but sometimes goes inother room for nap

cool empath .she does like looking out there a lot.sometimes i have to watch her when i go out so she dont sneak out.. i wonder if she is ok on back porch upstaires it has to be 10 feet from ground.she seems real smart but maybe she will try to jump down

She could easily jump down the ten feet if she gets excited by something.

Please keep her inside! An indoor cat doesn't know how to deal with the dangers outdoors. She could get hit by a car, attacked by a dog, get in a fight with another cat; etc, etc.. So many dangers outdoors.

Cat's LOVE looking out of windows, but actually being outdoors can scare them so they run away and get lost, or hide so you can't find them. Keep her inside.

ok i feel a little better now i felt bad like she was sad she cant go outside..she is a nice cat.i try to play with her but she dont seem to like to play i throw her fake mouse for her and etc etc.but sometimes she just goes wild running around.but mostly she sleeps a whole whole whole lot

Cats are somewhat nocturnal. When I used to have cats, they'd sleep for a good portion of the day but then I'd hear them chasing each other around the house at night.

My cat is great. He protects my flashlights.

BTW, the cat's loss of vision had NOTHING to do with my flashlights!

 

[PhotonWrangler]

Aww, the poor thing! How did he lose his eyesight and how is he coping? I hope he gets lots of reassurance and TLC.

 

[EngrPaul]

We were fostering the kitten from an abandoned litter. He had glaucoma as a kitten, and his eyes got big like an alien. They had to be removed.

He took a big liking to me, and became my computer buddy. I cannot sit down without him.

And he goes EVERYWHERE in the house... we have a hard time believing he's blind.

 

[raggie33]

them pics almost look fake i never saw anything like that before plese no i dont think there fake i just never saw that before. he looks like he is loved.i think cats have a 3rd eye or something

 

[EngrPaul]

Not fake, he really had big eyes that had to be taken out.

Here he is in recovery... I can hear everybody going "awwwwwwwww poor thing!"

 

[raggie33]

i didnt think they was fake .that a cute pic

 

[65535]

Nice cat, the nice thing is he is probably very social since his life depends on his owner soo much, lucky to have a nice CPFer as a owner.

 

[PhotonWrangler]

Awwwww! Hugging a teddy bear.

That's so kind of you to take such good care of him. I'm sure he returns the gesture every single day.

As Felicia got older, she became deaf and could not be let outside on her own anymore, without getting into a fight with stray dogs sneaking up on her.
(she was deaf, not disabled. :touche: )
I did arm carry her outside for supervised outings a couple times a week from then on, for her protection and that of the poor stray puppy dogs running loose.

 

[TedTheLed]

that's an adorable blind cat.. I was thinknig; have you see nthat book of painted cats? you could paint eyes on him! too wierd..?

raggie, cats often 'go crazy' bouncing off the walls in a burst of energy running around the house..mine used to do it every evening when he was younger..he still does it but now instead of 'bouncing off the walls' he runs along his 'escape route' : chair to desk to book case to sofit where he tears along to the 20 foot 'cat walk' board over head across the living room (he has to be careful on the 'catwalk' because it flexes and bounces a bit) to his 'nap shelf' up near the cieling... with a view out the window of course

 

[DM51]

Raggie, if your cat likes looking out the window, maybe she would also like watching TV? I think they get curious sometimes and just enjoy watching what is going on.

 

[TedTheLed]

In his life, Leon watched TV with me exactly ONCE. It happened several years ago..he noticed the set was on, walked up to it and sat down and watched the screen continuously for about ten minutes..after that while he got up and walked away, never to watch it again..
I know you're going to think this is too cute and that I made it up, but honest to G. the show he watched was "Big Cat Diaries" !

 

[DM51]

So Ted, I take it this isn't your cat Leon here.

 

[3rd_shift]

LOL!!
That is cute!
