CowCat

[fireun]

A few months ago I took in a nursing mother cat and her kittens. She was frighteningly underweight, everyone was riddled with jumping and wriggling parasites, and somehow Lord Phaedrus knew something was afoot out on the porch (which made for a cranky old cat).





Parasites were killed with enthusiasm and vigor. Kittens were weaned and sent off to foster families, vetted, spayed/neutered, and finally adopted. The mother was slow to gain weight, but damn quick to win me over with her ridiculously loud, albeit a bit hoarse, purr. She was vetted and moved from the porch to the house proper. Where she tried desperately to play with Lord Phaedrus, who would have none of that.

She slowly put on weight. She was spayed. Microchipped. She learned that my bed is really damn comfortable. She dances on her hind legs to beg for treats. She gets up into everything and fears nothing. And she is freakishly endearing.

I just really wish she would not follow me into the bathroom and stare like that.

sadly, the kittens weren't that big, CowCat was just that malnourished and small :( She is doing so much better now though!

I am so sorry you had a kitten die. It is very hard to raise the young ones with bottles- they really do need mom to do best. What is the name of your male cat? my other cats are both big boys, and I love them very much :)

Ehhm, my father and I have this habit, calling all cats Puss or Manis (sweety in English)

This is Father's 2nd son He took him in and raised him when I went to the college, I almost thought he was my replacement because for his entire life my father never ever had had pet.

Oh he is a bit rugged now, since he is like the king cat around my neighborhood (love fighting too much) and that becomes a problem now since my grandma picked another male kitten (need not nursing now) and Manis hates him, I get frustrated every time Manis attacks this kitten, what should I do, this kitten is really sweet and cute TT_TT He hates other male cats except this little guy, not mine, but I feed and pet him that he bounces every time he sees me (well, he is Manis' offspring)

He is handsome! I love his tail :D

It took Phaedrus a long time to stop attacking CowCat, and they still don't get along terribly well. CowCat and Mildmay play and cuddle and are best of friends, but not Phaedrus and CowCat. Some cats are just not friendly with each other.
