shocked this morning
to see Handsome at my door
it has been over a year since I have seen him
He ate two bowls of chicken
a bowl of dry
and a can of wet food
Where has he been?
,.....my beloved feral cat?
He's not telling
Good thing I kept his igloo
and his heat pad
Maybe....I will get him in this year
let him live out his life in luxury
and safety
and surrounded by loving humans
praise be!

A year?
ReplyDeleteHe must be in the neighborhood, and visiting around hoping for good people to give him more than he gets wherever he resides. He doesn't look feral.
Beautiful cat who knows where to go to get loved(even at a distance) and spoiled........And they do know!
ReplyDeleteMy oh my! He looks like a rough and tumble kind of guy! I wonder if he's been to London to visit the Queen? A year...makes you wonder how he survives...thank goodness for friends like you in his life!
ReplyDeleteBy the way...thanks so much for your praises on my felting...I did finish the piece for the art show and sold it on the first night! Here's the post on it... http://farmlass.blogspot.ca/2012/07/my-inner-sami-and-then-some.html
I must get busy making some things for etsy. The weather is changing and now it feels more like 'wool season'.
Have a great weekend, Suz.
Oh, yay! This is happy news. I find myself smiling so big, just for you.
ReplyDeleteha...that is cool....crazy, but cool...our cat has been gone for months before but....wow...
ReplyDeleteWelcome home, Handsome.
ReplyDeleteStay awhile at Suz's, she'll spoil you rotten.
Lucky cat.
xo
I'm so glad he's safe and back where he belongs! It's times like this that you wish they could talk!
ReplyDeleteOh, Suz, Handsome came back ... after a year !
ReplyDeleteWhat a surprise !
Nice weekend,
Sylvia
Sylvia...can you imagine my shock
DeleteI thought of you right a way...how happy you would be
you are such a dear woman who cares about felines
thanks
Oh, wow! What a sweetie! I instantly 'bonded' with your blog when I saw this- I LOVE cats! (we have 2)
ReplyDeleteI'm your newest follower :)
Susan
Oh my...love your name...:)....
DeleteI have spent my whole life around felines...
understand them completely...but I love all animals
....and I love junk too
much to husband's woe
thanks...for reading along...I'll go peak at your blog..see if we can connect.....always looking for a kindred spirit
Go figure? I have adopted a stray also, we call him O'Malley :)
ReplyDeleteI bought my first ever cat food and feed him daily on the front porch in lovely glass bowls. I do not however appreciate him relieving himself in my flower beds!
oh you are such a softie...I knew it
Deletebut...Red...where do you expect a feral to 'go"
knock on your door and ask to use the restroom?
luv ya
Your damn right I do! And he isn't farel, too friendly for that. He's just a player ;)
DeleteMade me smile to the the Wanderer returned! Enjoy spoiling him while you "have him". BTW, our lil' Beans, a cat of the same coloring and "breed" is also very stand-offish. I wonder if it's a trait?
ReplyDeletecould be.....hmmm Beans..cute
Deletewhy would he ever leave your house??? Do you have any larger bowls, and a bigger heating pad? I'll be there in a day or two.......!
ReplyDeleteOh Sue - I hope he stays this time too...
ReplyDeleteYou and JC will surely get along well. He loves cats. Too unfortunate that pet's hair bothers me, that is his first sacrifice for loving me... Good that Mr Handsome knew where to go when he needed love...

I meant Rudyard Kipling, The Cat Walks Alone.
ReplyDeleteI don't know where my first post went? Your post made me think of The Cat Walks Alone.
ReplyDeleteHe IS Handsome. An unaltered Tom? -- he's got ramblin' to do. But I'm glad he found his way back to you.
ReplyDeleteI love cats too! And what a nice big bowl of cat food you gave him! I bet after some "adjustment catterwalling fights" Mr. Handsome would be so grateful and happy in your home. He doesn't seem feral if he gets this close to your window! Bet he could be a lovely new friend.
ReplyDeleteoh he's feral....but we've been in each other's territory for quite a while.....and we have a mutual agreement....I feed...he eats
