The barn cat was crestfallen to learn that just because you live with the chickens, and just because you sleep with the chickens, and just because you build a nest like a chicken does not mean you lay eggs like a chicken.

That face!
Awww. What a tweet puddy tat. 💕
That is the saddest face I’ve seen in a while. Come home with me, Kitty, and I’ll make you all the French toast you want.
Kitty is a ball of fluff with a sad face painted on the front.
Such a teeny foof ball and I really want to turn the frown upside down. I’m with everyone else that just want to cuddle kitty and make him all the french toast he wants. After we get through with him, he’ll be more the size of a baseball, lol.
Lil’ floof, you are so cute.
Kitties update:
We have 1 kitten + mom.
The kitten eats very well and climbs on everything or has zoomies all the time, I wish I had half his energy.
Mom cat is beautiful but she doesn’t accept any food 🙁
I’ve tried tuna, wet cat food, she looks hungry but she is afraid.
She doesn’t run away from me, but I cannot go closer than 1 metre because then she starts to back out. Well at least she stays there when I pull up weeds, etc.
She is a smart one, she found such a good hiding place between two sheds, I would have never found her if she hadn’t wanted me to. Anyway, maybe being around me without running away could be enough progress for a day.
Debg and Tara’s stories about Scorpius and Butch keep my hopes alive, they were not “tamed” overnight either, maybe she will accept food sooner or later.
Yeah an update!!! So glad to hear about some progress. Is the kitten in your house or outside with mom? If you haven’t already, maybe try putting the food out and then go back into the house where you can peek out a window, some cats don’t like eating with an audience. Fingers crossed she realizes humans aren’t so bad and becomes a pampered house cat.
Oooohhh kitty rescues! Mom will relax if you give her enough time. It’s tough to turn in your feral card (I’ve heard).
I’ve ordered small binoculars so I can watch the next-door ferals from inside the house.
Progress! A project with hope!
Yay for the kitties! Yay for Emsthemonster! I’m sure your ginger Mama cat will be just fine, especially if her kitten is around. Getting within a meter of her this early in the game is pretty remarkable. I took in one feral kitten whom I had to quarantine for 3 months because he had lice. It took a good 2-3 weeks before he would eat when I was anywhere in the room. I had to start by peering around the corner, then slowly revealing more of myself each meal as he got used to me. A month later he couldn’t get enough cuddles. On the other hand, a big, scrawny black cat showed up at my Mom’s almost 2 years ago (on Black Cat Appreciation Day, no less!) and spent the next 14 months hissing at us from under the car, while chowing down on our handouts the second we walked away. He is now a huge, cuddly, if battle-scarred fellow who requires many ear rubs and neck scritches to get through the day. I hope both your new furfriends prove as affectionate in the end. Good luck!
UNFORTUNATE PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT.
Peeps, I have no way to gently work this into conversation, but mother kitty’s black fluffy egg seems close enough.
This is NOT for younger viewers, BTW.
A young woman not even distantly related to me informed her circle of acquaintances that she was pregnant. She found out by sending a picture of herself peeing and yes, the pic was of that specific area, to a website, where they “analyzed“ the image of the urine and confirmed the pregnancy. Her friends were thrilled with the announcement. It didn’t occur to any of them how wrong this whole thing was. Please, let those around you who might fall for this that it’s not true!
Could this really have happened? Tell me it isn’t so.
Based on what her personal habits are, it actually doesn’t surprise me. I hope she’s not pregnant, because the baby is going to suffer horribly for her choices.
This dog is smarter than the woman who tinkled for the photo. Yikes.
There are no words.
