This Collar Needs More Work!

Gossip

A Princess Relaxing On Her Couch.

Stan Says:

Cats are everywhere. She isn't feeding me as much. I tried to get rid of the pesky collar and the collar is still with me. Lately, we don't see so much of some cats. It was cold and then it was warm. Things can be strange. I don't mind while I get my food.

PS, She has been talking to people in the street.

Suddenly there is not so much food.

She says:

The little ones will come inside when the weather is cold.

Recently, warm weather has returned and Bally and Tabs haven't come inside so often.

I worry about our local birds, but we can't protect everyone. The sad heap of pidgeon feathers on the lawn across the road are the result of a magpie who I saw bringing the pidgeon down. My cats may get the blame.

Oh dear, things get too complicated sometimes.

Princess finds that her mixture of herbs and medications are doing her well. She's spent time with Jos again.

On the other hand, Scrap is a bit outraged about having another cat in the place.

Yesterday I went over the road to talk to Jos and pick up Princess. 

Jos says that the Scrapling has been over there charming everyone.

I told Anna.

She said,

'Well Scrap thinks that since you've taken Princess from her Person, maybe Scrap thinks that she should adopt Princess's Person!'

Now, how do I explain that to Scrap?

Uncharacteristically, Scrap has been peeing in my room since Princess arrived in distress and in need of care.

In the meantime, Baby has concluded that sweet soft gentle Grace was secretly The Cat In The Mirror who frightened her and whenever she sees Grace she attacks her.

Yes, times can become difficult.

Anna cleaned up the bathroom where Princess dwells.

Princess spent the weekend previous with Jos, but was weak, her back legs failing when I picked her up.

At home with her medicines she's OK but she once got bullied by another cat, a runt I guess, like Baby. Princess doesn't trust Other Cats at all, so it's a relief for her to be taken to her friends over the road.

Princess lived here when I first moved in. I thought she'd relate to tiny kitten Scrap AKA Caprice, but she didn't.

Jos loves both, and Princess is special to her. She's named our Princess Fi Fi. Yesterday as I held Princess in my arms, Scrap slipped into Jos's house. Jos is kind. She laughed. I feel that Scrap may have ran inside to make her mark, but I didn't say that and I hope she didn't.

Every time I see people talking to my cats, I talk to them. Little blighters are communicating homelessness. If someone wants to adopt them, OK, but I am saying to people, these cats are well fed and it doesn't help to feed them because then they don't come inside!
