Blast From The Past
Blast From The Past
I must have been 5 years old when this picture was taken and I still have strange dreams about them from time to time. It's amazing the impact pets can have on our lives. Both tabby's, Tiger and Pumpkin lol. I'm tellin you guys, these cats were more of a handful than my dog...Sneaky little bastards they were!

I recently had a cat sheltering under my trailer and fighting with my much smaller cat for territorial rights. He learned how to use the pet door and would sneak in to eat my cat's food and sometimes they'd fight at the pet door. I'm not certain but I think this has been going on for many weeks... maybe 3-4 months.
I tried scaring the other cat away but he's a brazen little bastard and would come back. I finally bought a cat trap and after a week or so, he was caught. I didn't want to hurt the little fucker but I did terrorize him a little bit to try and teach him to stay the fuck off my property and out of my home.
Since I didn't know who he belonged to (if anyone) I'd already been contacting all the no-kill shelters within 50 miles of me. No one had any room. I took the cat (still in the trap) to a local veterinarian who, as expected, told me they don't know anyone looking for a cat. I asked everyone in the waiting room too... no one wanted him. So I tried one more time to ask a neighbor with tons of cats and dogs but she wasn't home. Then I ask my next door neighbor... YES, it's there cat!!
So I explained all that was happening and told the lady I was glad the cat was home. She told me they let the cat out in the evenings because he jumps all over everything if they don't. I offered to buy them a large cat cage but the lady declined. I haven't seen that cat since. I don't know if they keep it inside now or if I just scared the hell out of it so he's staying away.
Either way, my cat is much calmer and happier.

My feral/ outdoor cat I think is in the middle of giving birth & taking care of her new kittens -
"Just before the birth the female cat may become restless or meow or purr or pant (or all or none of these things!) She will clean around the birth passage and the teats. It’s thought that she lays a trail of saliva for the kittens to follow to find a teat after they’re born. She will go through several different stages of labour (see our information on normal cat birth). Each kitten is born in a sac of amniotic fluid that the mother licks and nibbles to free the kitten. She bites through the umbilical cord and eats the kitten’s placenta, and using her rough tongue she cleans the kitten and stimulates it to breathe. Most cats (especially non-pedigree ones), will give birth without problem and will need no human intervention.
How do I care for newborn kittens?
The female encourages the kittens to suck and keeps them warm by lying on her side and encircling them. The kittens are guided by scent and warmth to her nipples where they find colostrum, the first type of milk to be produced which is rich in antibodies to help protect the kittens from disease in their early weeks of life.
The mother cat purrs while the kittens are sucking – the kittens are not able to hear when they are first born, but they can follow vibrations to move towards her. They have a built in rooting or nuzzling behaviour which helps them to find the nipple, latch on and stimulate the milk to flow. The sucking reflex then takes over and they feed. Kittens tend to return to the same nipple to feed, perhaps to stop them squabbling and to ensure that milk continues to be produced there because there is a demand.
At birth kittens weigh about 100g but this doubles in a week and triples in three weeks. Cat milk is high in protein and fat – necessary nutrition for this rapid growth. They initially feed for many hours a day and keep the milk flowing by kneading their mum’s stomach with their paws (the same behaviour they may show on our laps or on a fluffy blanket)."
Thought that part was interesting.
Should we dip our finger in milk or some other food and let them lick it off when the kitten goes into "kneading" behavior ?
Sounds like the kneading is pretty related to the kitten looking for food.

What you have to watch out for is those little fishhooks sinking into your leg! 
Mine still does that at 11. When she’s bedding down in the comforter or fleece. Lol, no teat there. I guess some habits are hard to break.
I think it's a flashback.

What's wrong with liking to knead teats? 
My fox-chasing cat relaxing out in the yard in this pic..
Two nights ago, Mrs. G. opened the front door to let him in for a while.
He zipped in so fast that neither of us saw him as he ran under my desk.
We continued watching our movie, but the cat was making much more noise than usual, and running around under the desk like a mad cat..
I finally figured something was unusual, and went over to check it out...
There he was with the rabbit he had carried in the house for us and he was finishing it off before he gave it to us as a present!
