Birthday: June 1st 2000 Coloration: Black Likes: Me feeding them! Pet-Peeves: Any loud noises or sudden movements. Favorite Toy: They chase butterflies and grasshoppers. Favorite Nap Spot: On the walls separating our garden from next door on both sides, and any sun spots they can find. Favorite Food: Well, they all come running when they hear me open the backdoor, so I guess they like the cat crunchies I put down for them. Skills: The ability to magically appear within 3 seconds of me opening the back door. The ability to vanish just as quickly if anyone but me approaches them. Dwells:
outdoors Arrival Story: These guys found me - when my partner and I bought our first house together we didn't realise it would come with inhabitants. At the bottom of the garden there's a family of seven feral cats, ranging in age from about 5 - 8 years old ish, I think, to two kittens that were born around the same time we moved into the house - 14th May 2007. Bio: I've named the cats - DaddyCat, MummyCat, Emilio (used to be Emily until I realised my mistake), Ralph (who I think is actually a girl), Ophelia, Pogrim and Thalia. Lives Remaining: 9 of 9 Forums Motto: Self-Sufficient Family The Groups I'm In: Fabulous Ferals, Feral Cat Caregivers, Welsh Cats Health: I've never touched the External Kitties, partly because they're very skittish and it's taken two months for them to accept my presence anywhere near them, and partly because they look mangy.
MummyCat and the two kittens, Pogrim and Ophelia have really bad eye-crusties and they sniffle and wheeze. It breaks my heart to see the little things sat on the steps outside with their eyes so bad sometimes I'm surprised they can see to move. :o(
