Similar experience the first year ('06) we lived here. It took a couple of weeks to figure out why Ernie was SO obsessed with the balcony at night. When we did, we got pictures (look under the yellow arrow above). Rats were running on the edge of our balcony carrying loquats to the roof. Stopped after the trees were cut down. I miss seeing the birds that fed on the fruit in daylight, but not those rats! |

said by KenTheCook  :have you ever watched them stare at a point in space where nothing is there? Yes. In my case it was due to mice in the pantry. The cat knew about them days before I found out.

Very Funny, I have in my house spayed kitties & basically feral cats. And they do all that stuff, -PLUS! have you ever watched them stare at a point in space where nothing is there? Watching ancestors or aliens? I keep feeding them so they don't take me away! The cats are fun. |

This thread is taking a turn...
I posted this as a PM but I figure I will share it here too..
Man what hell did I have today.. so my aunt decides she wants a puppy.. So I said lets go check out a shelter.. So we go.. but she wants a male and she wanted to take it home right then and was disappointed when she was not able..
So this friend of hers had a litter of puppies about 8 weeks old.. it was hell trying to catch them since they are not used to people.. when I caught one the mother came around so I put the puppy down..
You could tell the mother did not mean it.. she came up to me with her head down and tail wagging low.. Because before all that she would come over and give me her paw.
IMHO I think my aunt is doing this on a impulse and I don't think it's good with the two cats around the house now.

I love cats since they tend to be cleaner but I love both I know they say we cant have animals but I don't think anyone has said anything about a neighbor owning a bird or something with a fishtank.. |

said by onDvine :said by Subaru :... Can a female cat be a tuxedo cat? ... Yes. The term "tuxedo cat" refers to a specific bi-color black and white pattern, unrelated to gender. More info here: » en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicolor_cat. haha thanks for the link I too found that link when searching so yeah.

said by Subaru :lol this time I was making a tuna fish sandwich.. she wanted some  no nipping this time Ah tuna, that one almost always works. Fluffball one hates tuna, fluffball 2 loves it. But the first one will go nuts for the smell of bacon of all things.
I love cats personally, they fit better in your lap than a dog. But they both have a place in your family.  |

I see the other cat is back.. but I can't bond with it.. last year I was here she is not as friendly to strangers like boots.
I'm sure if I open the door (she is sleep now) she will jump up and run away if I see if she wants to eat.. first time I've seen here since I pulled up on Tuesday. |

said by onDvine :I predict that someday you'll have at least one cat of your own. I wish.. I had to give my dog of 6 years up when I moved to CT since my now late uncle was scared of dogs he was one of the sicker puppies in the litter too bad my mom did not get a photo of me rocking him to sleep in the house lol.
boy me and him and some crazy times.. I remember when I fell off the steps.. I fell under the rail and on my back which was about a 5 Ft drop.. knocked the air out of me and all my mom said was he was running around like crazy after I fell.
