We've created a monster.. porch kitty update.. pic heavy

[madmom]

So previously we couldn't get close enough to even touch him. After working on getting him used to us being around and getting close, we finally were able to just do a quick touch on the head or back, just something to let him know we were harmless. Well now we can pet and pick him up, he comes in and stays for hours before wanting back out. BUT .. he so likes the human touch and being petted he insists on it constantly.. lol.. whether he likes it or not, I think he is domesticated.












and of course we can't forget our meatloaf..

1. Both are beautiful

but the notch in Blondie's ear might indicate that he/she's been microchipped. On the other hand, it might just be a battle scar. It could be worth checking out. Nice work creating a comfort zone.

2. We know for certain it is a battle scar, we thought he had a touch of

frost bite over the winter. We couldn't get him to come in then,and our past winter was a duzy, so we just made him a home on our deck. His ears where fine when he first showed up. Thanks for the interest though.

3. I think that means she was trapped and spayed. nt

7. That's how all our vets handle ferals here too. Notch the ears when spayed

Or neutered....

That first pic really looks like a classic ear notch.

[madmom]

13. Oh he's most definitely a boy, and has not been neutered...yet!

10. It looks exacly like that

That would be very good news.

4. He looks pretty domesticated to me,

at least, as far as cats are ever domesticated.

Those are a couple of nice-looking cats.

5. beautiful pics of both kitties. how wonderful you were able to gain his trust

and love

6. OMG! The expression on Meatloaf's first

picture seems to be saying - But I thought that I was your baby!!!!

[madmom]

11. Oh yes, he is very jealous, but we make sure he gets his lovins too. :)

[lunatica]

8. What did you expect?

He found a forever home.

9. Squee!

Bless you for loving the kittehs.

12. Orangies are always lovebugs.

Resistance to petting is futile, ginger boys!

14. OMG, Meatloaf looks so much like our Mouse--now gone.

Mouse's father was the biggest cat I'd ever seen--until Mouse was full grown
and weighed in at 22 lbs!

[madmom]

17. WOW.. big cat. I just weight ours, he's 16lbs. The first thing

people say when they first see him is... "oh my god that's a big cat!" and he's big all over, not just fat!

20. Our Mouse and Simba

They were raised as brothers, but born to two different litters in the same house
several days apart.

Simba was every bit as big as Mouse, too. (The diameter of that lamp table they were on is 26"!)
They were great buddies.

21. Aww .. gorgeous kitties!

I feel your loss, our pets are more like our kids.

15. this is a wonderful story

It gives me hope that I'll convert the little stray I'm feeding.

It so illustrates that animals need and crave loving.

Hugs to you for being good to kitties.

16. Lucky you

our feral female still won't let us touch her but has been coming in the house for short visits. It's been a year now!

[madmom]

18. You have to give them their space, they'll do it when they are ready. I didn't think

this one would ever let us touch him, he was so skittish at first. Patience is required.

[Enthusiast]

19. Meat loaf........LOL

I love me some kittehs.

22. Porch Kitty

Looks just like Ralph s dearly departed brother, Bob. He was a lovely champagne color.And partly feral his whole llife. Have to say Bob was the baddest cat we ever had.

23. wonderful! at last, you have found one another
