Take in a stray cat in autumn

One morning last fall, I went out to take out the garbage, it was late autumn and the morning was very cold.

This is a picture I took of a stray cat The situation was similar at that time

When I came back, a small civet cat was blocking the front, and when I saw me coming, I immediately hid inside the green belt. Seeing that I did not have any malicious intent, came out again, but kept a distance of seven or eight meters. As a cat slave, I know that this is the most basic caution of cats.

Out of courtesy, beckoned to it, said a cat, come here. I didn't expect it to really take two steps forward, seemingly not afraid, but also a bit of a needy look.

It is really a very small civet cat, with white gloves, big and round eyes, with a little fear and a little thirst, is a very good species of civet. Since it is not afraid, and greeted a few times, it surprisingly ran to the feet to turn around, while Mimi purring.

I feel that it may be really hungry, look at the age of two or three months, at this time can not find food is normal. Reach out and touch it, surprisingly, there is no resistance, and very comfortable look. Then it was right, this is an abandoned domestic cat.

It was even thinner than this

Later I heard that a girl upstairs kept it, then moved away and left him behind, so poor.

Before this, there was a night out, saw once a big cat chasing kittens to the green belt inside, and then came the sound of fierce fighting and biting, I think it was him. Abandoned kittens, occupying the territory of feral cats, being chased and beaten in the world of cats is a normal thing.

This is probably what it looks like

Thinking of this, the heart felt compassion, the ground was cold, the kitten was cold and icy, without a trace of heat. You are lucky to meet me, take it back. Grasped in the hand did not resist, very obedient to go home with me.

This unexpected visitor, the aborigines at home is very unhappy. Two aborigines a hide far away, the other directly bowed and fried lion roar, the kitten was scared to shrink in the corner dare not come out.

Cai is very angry, how do you get another one to, really enough!

Bring over a little cat food, a little milk, kittens do not care to be afraid, a meal and drink as fierce as a tiger. Really hungry for too long, especially the milk, add three times all drank clean.

Outside, what cats lack most in autumn and winter is not food, but water.

Finally eat and drink enough to begin to familiarize themselves with the surroundings and try to come out for a walk. The two aborigines are pet cats, Maine cats are very Buddhist, but for the new members obviously do not like, but also do not intervene, sleep on their own, when not seen.

The other is a gold gradient layer, the name is called mango, relatively violent, but the actual battle is very goose, see fried hair people do not react, know that the explosion is useless, but also recognized.

Thus, the three cats together began the day.

Looked at a little girl, the child gave the name Coco. This Coco is very smart, not the usual smart.

For example, when he did damage, found that someone saw, immediately stop and then pretend to be innocent. And the aborigines to grab the cat climbing frame, it is clear that he provoked, once someone saw, immediately play the weak, so that the aborigines are very indignant.

Originally two sunbathing position, now there is always one by them to drive away. I have to say, the civet cat's intelligence and fighting ability are really too strong.

Many pet cats can not do things, it does so naturally and cunning. For example, picking the trash can, such as grabbing the sofa, such as stealing cat food and stealing human food from the table.

Having a cat more, you know that these are normal. Tolerated.

One day, I don't know what happened, there was no sign of it in the house, did it change its bad roots? It is difficult.

This is probably what it looks like. It's uncomfortable.

Finally found hiding in the corner, feel a little wrong, give the cat food also do not eat, have vomiting action. I searched carefully and found vomit in the corner of the toilet. Strange, the cat food is new, no other things were found to be eaten.

The whole family started looking and finally found a sample bag of canned cat food under the cupboard, a gift from someone who bought cat food. I don't know where she found it and ate it all.

This plastic bag can be easily chewed open by cats.

If he can read, he can see that the shelf life has passed for two years, so he will probably not eat it. I wanted to take it to the vet, but the unit came to work urgently and had to hurry to travel, but it was very close and came back the next day.

When I came back, I thought the door would be quiet, but I didn't expect to see two cats jumping up and down on the cat climbing frame, Coco and Mango playing that is not happy, not at all yesterday that depressed look.

Something like this

Chinese civet cat, the tenacity of life is evident.

When the snow fell several times, Coco always sat in front of the window as if thinking.

I talked to my cat friend about this cat and he said, "Haha, you've been tricked. What do you mean? The cat friend said, this is a stray cat feel winter is coming, find yourself a place to spend the winter which.

Dang, I was the one who was set up.

You've been trapped.

Winter is quickly coming to an end and the weather is getting warmer. The three cats have become a family, asking for cat food together, eating cat food together, playing games together, and fighting together. Great Maine always felt full of auntie smiles when she watched them fight.

I thought such days were going to last, very harmonious and very much alive.

One morning, I opened the window and Coco proceeded to jump up and sit in front of it. Outside the window came the feeling of spring, the smell of earth, the smell of freshly grown grass, the sparrows and magpies flying around, and a scene full of the vibrancy of early spring.

Coco suddenly woke up like a dream and started to grasp the screen and meow, like a prisoner grasping the bars of his cage and shouting I want to get out, I want to get out.

Both of them were terrified by it and wondered why it was doing that. I think it was thinking of its time outside, a cat that had wandered and always had its heart in the wilderness.

I bought a cat leash to take him out for a walk. As a result, the cat rope did not arrive, an event that made us a big surprise.

It, surprisingly, came into heat. I do not know if it is because the breath of spring came in and awakened his stirring heart. But how to count, the date is also too early, after all, is still a kitten it.

Later asked the neighbors when his former owner moved out and calculated that he had been outside for about two months. From the time a kitten was in the warm embrace of its owner to the time it was abandoned, it was just over a month in total.

It's not easy for a kitten to survive when it's been wandering outside for more than two months. The body basically did not grow much in these two months, so I mistakenly thought he was only two or three months old.

Coco was in heat, and that was a problem. You can't have a spay or neuter operation during heat.

Maine is a female cat and Mango is a little eunuch, so no one could help with his problem. Coco desperately leaned his body towards them and they were bewildered as to what he was up to.

Maine would gently lick his fur, supposedly knowing he was uncomfortable and doing his best to comfort him.

Mango either walked away in disgust or gave it a punch, leave me alone, I'm pure.

Asked a cat friend to borrow a male cat to go along with it, but the result was that the cat friend suggested that it was better to try not to have a baby, you can't have kittens and then keep them, and many of their cats are also neutered.

Well, let's hope his heat period passes soon, I can stand the endless barking.

The sound of a cat in heat is better than a power drill

The sound of a female cat in heat is really penetrating, the neighbors in the community group talked about whether we heard the sound of a cat, many people agreed.

This does not matter, chatting and chatting began to locate the sound, gradually pointing to me here. I dive silence, dare not say anything, and pray that you hurry up and finish the love to return to normal, I can not hold on to much time.

As a citizen of a law-abiding and harmonious society, disturbing things are abhorrent.

I don't know if Coco saw my helplessness, maybe it understood that in this home, its problems can not be solved. It, surprisingly, ran away from home.

It may not be right to say so, it may not really consider this place as home. Besides the front door, where else could a cat get out of my house? At this point, it occurred to me that every time we opened the front door to get in and out, Coco was peering not far away.

Did it have a plan? The doorway is an overhanging shoe cabinet, if he hides underneath we can not see, the moment the door is opened he can go out unnoticed, even a little sound I can not hear. This is probably the only possibility.

Go out and look for several days in a row, a flash in the grass to see once, shouting his name, seem to look back, and then go away, never found. Perhaps, outside, is the world he likes.

Coco's departure made us feel doubly lost. Maine is very Buddhist, come on it, go on it, everything is as it is, still alone to meditate alone to sleep.

Mango at this time is very catlike, each room to find a few days, really can not find, before giving up.

My heart is mixed, according to the cat friend said, he is to find a place to spend the winter, so the winter is over, it is really time to go.

But I also know that the average life span of a stray cat is two or three years, and the hard work outside is not experienced by domestic cats. It leaves, releasing its wild nature, but also puts itself into a natural dark jungle with all kinds of unpredictable dangers.

So entangled for a few days, slowly put this matter down, the result of an unintentional opening of the window, the ripples rise again.

A large tiger-spotted cat was chasing Coco in the green belt. We were on the first floor, so we could see it clearly. I rushed out to look for it, and I couldn't find it again.

But soon heard a very miserable cat scream, followed the sound to find the past, it turned out to be downstairs in an air duct, Coco finally solved his problem.

The process of solving this problem, the mother cat is actually very painful, which is one of the reasons why try to spay the female cat. Soon, he will be upgraded to become a mother.

It seemed that all the problems were solved, and it seemed that all the problems were not solved.

In a few months, a few poor little stray cats will be back on the path their mother walked. I hope some good people will adopt them, I hope they will live happily, I hope Coco can escape from all kinds of dangers, and I hope it will come back to visit sometime, preferably with its children, after all, this was once its home too.
