There was actually another stray black cat here before DH moved here (I was here first), but I found a home for it.<br /><br />Tiny Gardener, or shall I call you "She who summons the kitties"?<br /><br />Nancy, when I saw the cat eating chicken scratch I almost cried! Can't wait to see you're new kitty, you'll let us know when you get him/her, right?<br /><br />EcoCatLady, I don't think I'll have a problem trapping this one, although I wanted to get it a bit more friendly before taking it to the vet. I hate seeing a cat outdoors, but I know I can't keep them all inside and honestly, some of them just like to be outdoor cats....even if they have a soft fluffy pillow inside.<br /><br />Candy, I'm so sorry to hear about Carlos. The predator thing is the main reason I get anxious about having outdoor cats. My two black cats that are indoor / outdoor have to be inside before dark, and I don't like them out there too long during the daytime either. But they are pretty good at coming inside when I call them.<br /><br />Chai Chai, I haven't really figured out how I'm going to "train" the barn cat to the new chicks, although the smaller birds are penned up good so they wouldn't be in contact with the cat (or any other chick-eating animal), and honestly, once the chickens get older I don't think a sane feline would take any of them on...they can be mean buggers!<br /><br />Leigh, Glad you found a cat with personality. That's a "good" kind of personality, not an insane stalking crazed wacko kind of personality, right??Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-49713838287777718312012-06-07T05:17:40.223-05:002012-06-07T05:17:40.223-05:00One of our all time favorite cats was a black cat ...One of our all time favorite cats was a black cat we named Rascal. My husband hadn't cared for cats, but knew we needed one as long as it was male and had personality. Well, Rascal had personality for 6 cats! I hope you get your barn cat. They are so necessary.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-40445268234070362612012-06-06T20:00:52.687-05:002012-06-06T20:00:52.687-05:00Love the Vent Kitty story, thanks for the link!

That being said, when these two are gone, no more animals in the house! As much as I love them, I'm tired of cat hair all over the furniture all the time. (sigh)<br />I hope your new barn kitty sticks around and does his/her job! :)Candy C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07863818451136277378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-60767641484720147652012-06-06T14:26:16.810-05:002012-06-06T14:26:16.810-05:00Well, I am incapable of watching a cat go hungry, ...Well, I am incapable of watching a cat go hungry, which is why I have so many of them. Alas, I'm also incapable of letting them be cold, or worrying about them getting eaten by foxes or coyotes or hit by cars... which is why all of my cats are indoor creatures (and they don't smell one bit thank you very much!)<br /><br />Trapping a hungry cat is generally pretty easy, as long as the cat isn't too trap wary - you can get live traps that you just bait with a bit of canned cat food and viola! We have an organization that lends the traps for free, and most veterinarians will know where to get your hands on one. It's MUCH easier than trying to lure them into a carrying case of something like that, especially if it's a feral cat that isn't used to human contact. I highly recommend getting the cat fixed and tested for FIV/FELV before letting it interact with your other fe-lions, since both FIV and FELV are fatal and spread by bites and scratches.EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-76901776535967532952012-06-06T12:08:01.548-05:002012-06-06T12:08:01.548-05:00I loved my indoor only cats (no barn here)- quiet,...I loved my indoor only cats (no barn here)- quiet, really clean (never an accident) and great for snuggling at night.

I am in the same boat with the "I will divorce you if you bring another cat into this house" comment... Oy vay... Why can't those men understand that these things just find us??? <br /><br />My new barn cat... I told my FIL about it, he goes, for 25 years I have been going down there and NEVER has a cat showed up. Never! So I had to then explain... Well, for the past 25 years I wasn't going down there, but now that I am, animals (namely cats) will surely follow. I can't help it!Ashleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00324826072996146383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-49126232700583628362012-06-06T06:57:15.506-05:002012-06-06T06:57:15.506-05:00I hope you can manage to keep your new barn cat ou...I hope you can manage to keep your new barn cat outside of the house (unlike me)!<br /><br />I had always wanted a gray or black cat, so of course, all of the cats that we have ever called our own were orange/cream/white.

No indoor cats....or dogs.<br /><br />I know someone who now has maybe 15 barn cats.....she will share if you can come catch them.<br /><br />Mine are so wild I gave up trying to take them to the vet....not a good thing. I now see three kittens running here and there.<br /><br />The good thing is, we haven't seen a mouse inside or out in a few years.gldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645803822598151817noreply@blogger.com
