    Here are my furbabies;
    This is Skinny. When I first found him, he was begging for food behind a restaurant. He had bad ear mites and was, well, skinny. So I started calling him skinny cat, and it stuck. You can tell when the temps are getting cooler cause he tucks himself into my bed. He's about 8 years old now.

    Then one day I went to the vet to pick up my dogs arthritis medicine, and came home with these:

    They are now 4 years old.

    They are all indoor cats, we live very close to the road. So we bring the lawn in to them;

    The markings on Vixens back look like a paw print

    What adorable furbabies. I have no cats, just one approximately 10 yr old Field Spaniel.
    We have already decided that after he passes there will be no more pets for us but if we hadn't, I think I would like another cat.

    My cousins had a cat, black and white with white feet named Bootsy, when we were little.
    All of mine are spoiled rotten! Have me wrapped right around their toe!

    Skinny doesn't look so skinny now. Thank you for taking these cats in and giving them their forever home. I have around 18, one comes and goes and belongs to the people up the road, and I have the neighbors cats that now live here. I only have one unnuetered male, he would never get in the trap and after almost 8 years is still feral. The rest are fixed and do not contribute to the overpopulation problem.

    They are all spayed/neutered too.

    We found this three weeks ago, screaming blue murder in our hedge. Friends down the road say it had been around a few days, drinking from their pond and eating bird food. They tried to catch it, but it disappeared. From its behaviour it is definitely not a housecat. There has been another slightly bigger cat wandering about for a week or so. It has become very tame in the time, but it refuses to be house trained up to the present. Trouble is it needs to be kept in until it can be neutered.

    They are all lovely, Wrennie! Nothing like a purring cat.

    Moppet is a mackerel tabby, She has two go faster stripes down either side of her back bone. Sadly though if she continues to behave the way she is at present we will not be able to keep her as an indoor cat. We cannot have an animal using anywhere it chooses as a toilet while we have crawling grandchildren visiting.
    The really frustrating thing is that she is clean at night and during the day when she is confined to the back kitchen. She uses the litter tray then, no trouble.
    However, through the kitchen is the only route into the house, so it is very hard to keep her confined.
    We have tried every suggestion made by lots of people. It seems this is a rather peculiar problem. Kittens either use the litter or don't, but not part time! We certainly have never had this trouble with cats over the last 40 years or so. Pity really, she is a lvoely creature otherwise.

    Awww! [​IMG] Everyone's furry family members are adorable!

    Sadly :'( , we lost our dear old geezer kitty, P.I.T.A. nearly a year ago.

    We haven't looked for a new cat, but who knows what may happen -
    after all ;) , we weren't looking for him when he found us.

    Palustris ~ I don't know if it is workable for you,
    or if you may have already tried this;
    I was advised that confining a recalcitrant kitten to a smaller space,
    even to the extent :eek: *GASP* of employing a cage
    (one large enough to include the litter tray in one corner) -
    would encourage regular litter usage within a few weeks time.
    They want to keep distance between their "comfy" lounging areas
    and their "toilet" area, and if the entire house is at their disposal,
    they simply have too many options.

    Of course, the kitten can still be out when he is supervised,
    but confined when he may deposit unwelcome "gifts". :rolleyes:
