Maybe you going out , not fully dressed, scared him away ?

^lol.. maybe so.. was wearing slippers and a hairnet..so was wondering why all the Chinese neighbors were staring at me.

^^Baby is the name I made for the cat, tc. lol

Just slippers and a hairnet ?
Didnt you feel a bit cold ?
Maybe your neighbours kept the cat, hoping that you would go out (un) dressed like that more often ?

lol.. it was a joke. Just going to go with the crazy cat lady now.

Welcome to the Buffalo Board, Thailandbound...Are you female?...And a Canuck, too?...

I adopted a mother cat and one lucky suckling kitten (probably the only one she managed to save)...They ended up in our back yard after the great flood...

Great little feel-good story there...

Mama and Boy were the names...

Mama was too exhausted and emaciated to flee, though she was scared, and Boy was sucking on a dry nipple...I simply gave them their space and "air-lifted" them water and tuna fish until the trust began...

Wake up dude, you know her quite well.

Enlighten me, AO...

phuketbound... benice2me, and now thailandbound. Might have been others as well.

Can't keep up, anyway...

But, hey...

All this talk about pussy reminds me of the keen wit of Steve Martin...He starts his comedy routine by saying something like:

"I met a lady the other night...She took me home...And she had the greatest pussy...Now wait a minute, barstards...I was talking about her cat!"...

Maybe someone could post it...Funny as fook...

Seems a case of getting the cart before the cat. Without first getting the okay from your landlord any thought of adopting the cat is exercise in futility.

Yes, trust is important in getting a stray.

I agree, I'm asking him right now on wechat. Should know soon.

It's a big, fat, "NO" from my landlord. I guess he is worried about the floors being scratched. No cats or dogs..
Okay.. I will have to try to get over this decision.

Trying asking first next time. Might save some heartache...

Cycling home back from Pattaya on the Darkside in the rain someone had left a tiny kitten on the roadside in the middle of nowhere

It meowed as I cycled past. I stopped and gave it a bit of the dog food I had in my shopping bag. A quiet word in its ear along the lines " you've got one chance at this pal, scratch me and it's the crocodile farm for you", I tucked my shirt into my trousers and popped him i side my shirt. He poked his tiny head out between the buttons and purred, well, like a kitten as I cycl d the last mile home

Having bonded there were some issues. Im allergic to cats. My heart rate goes off the scale, shortness of breath and i break out in welts. the dogs didn't like him either. I used aversion therapy to solve that.

he had all his shots etc at the vets etc. He had a habit of getting stuck on the roof and requiring recue via long laders (the security boys in the mooban got 500b for risking broken. Ecks each time)

he also fucked every female cat in the mooban. The lady cats found him irresistible. Several thai neighbours demand d palimony because their slutty females had got pregnant. Of course I refused to pay, firmly explaining that it was their loose felines who had led my cat astray and in any case he was underage.

Within a couple of years he picked up FIV and died. He had a good life. He like tinned tuna in Spring water for his afternoon tea and always got the gourmet cat food. I wish i could havevstroked him more, but the price of even sitting. Ext to him on the sofa was an hour of allergic reaction :-(

^Hmm, yes many people are seriously allergic to cat fur. Too bad it died, but sounds like it had a good life. .. palimony.. lol...... he was underage..lol..

Thanks for the compassion, but yes, I kind of jumped the gun.

After I found out the heartbreaking news, I went outside to put the garbage out and to see if I would see little baby. Oh my God!!!!!! Little baby was sleeping in the little basket of a bicycle and it was raining out. It was curled up, so sweet. I came up to get some chicken and ran back down. I took a few pics. I played and picked the cat up and petted her for quite awhile. It was precious.

Went outside about 15 minutes after I first saw the cat as I had to come in get properly dressed, eat and get the cat's food together. The kitty was gone! I waited fifteen minutes or so with the food on the ground and no cat (baby) to be seen. I'm not going to search the area as it will come back eventually. This is turning out harder than anticipated. Not sure if it is meant to be or not.

you are a complete nutter, can't even do simple things like catching a cat in a timely manner

have you taken your pills recently ???? I think you need them,

Ive got a fish and I am going to feed some cats

...oddly, the reverse is also likely to be true...
