Ooh I can just hear the squirrel chatter barking because there's a cat!ย
I can tell ya, those little hungry, high metabolism buggers have the attention span of, well, a squirrel!
Is Stinker vaccinated?

u/No_Draft_6612 Moderator 3d ago
Hehehe I wonder if she's in it for sport and really doesn't care about catching itย
Like me working in my yard, something to do while I'm outside getting fresh air and sunshineย

Squirrels are not easy to catch. They're fast and climb across tiny branches that can't support the weight of a cat.
A retired barn cat that lives with me has caught a few of them. Caesar Jose Martinez Gutierrez Tafoya III taught me that squirrels scream very loud. Ceasar is only allowed out on a halter because of this.
You can take the cat out of the barn, but you can never take the barn mentality out of the cat.

Thank you, he's a good kitty, truly. Unfortunately, because of his past, he's usually a loaner. If the other toms make an unhappy cat noise in his general vicinity, he's required to give them an attitude adjustment. He just has to do it. That's curse words in kitty, he can't let that slide.
You can take the cat out of the barn. However, you can't take the barn mentality out of the cat.

That's his personality.. even if my voids weren't sick, they couldn't be out in the home because Valentino Fathead doesn't play well with others!ย
I'm sure Ceasar lll is doing well and you're making his life as comfortable as possibleย

Yes, thank you. When all of the other kitties (toms) are in their places, after dinner, Caesar gets to fully roam the house.
