Tache (and Poof) tales

<< < (10/27) > >>

Sheriff Roland:
On the next day, Bryan & I worked in the back yard. Tache doesn't like the leash, but likes being with his daddies.

Kelda:
awwwww .. get well tache!

Brown Eyes:

Aww, poor Tache!  He's lucky he has you to take him to the vet and take care of him now, instead of being on his own to deal with an injury like that.

Sheriff Roland:
Call it the "scardy cat" gang but there have been developments in the neighbourhood.

First, nobody's seen the "bully" in months - you know - the cat that terrorized the other cats in the neighbourhood, including biting Tache's tale tail (at least) three time in the first 18 months of his life.

There's also been a new, short legged, very wild-furred young cat that's apparently found a home in my back yard. He'd been fed by the 'cat lady" who lives in an appartment building accross the street - says she's been feeding it since it was the size of a rat last summer. She lives in an appartment building which does not make it easy for her to 'take care' of wild cats - she'd been feeding it (and other wild cats) from other people's yards or from the laneway.

Anyways, this fluff-ball of a new cat, I've named it "Poof" - cause it looks like the kind of ball you use instead if a washcloth (Bryan doesn't like it much - calls it - the Troll cat) - is now getting fed from my stoop and sleeping in my garage. He's yet to let me touch him, but I can sometimes get as close as 6 inches from him.

Tache and Poof are constantly playing (mostly Poof appears to follow Tache around, seek Tache's attention) when Tache goes outside. And of course there's "Anthony" - that's the black male cat adopted by the people accross the street. He too is one scardy cat that gets along quite well with Tache.

But I do believe that Tache is the Alpha cat in the Scardy Cat Gang.

Sheriff Roland:
Poof had himself (we think it's a male cat) quite an adventure last week. It's been cold (it's winter isn't it?) outside but I've yet to entice him indoors. I put out dry food and water when I find him waiting on the stoop. If I let the water bowl out too long it freezes over - of course.

Anyways, I've been checking Poof out for 20 minutes at a time through the glassed/screen door. I'd even opened up the door some 20 cm (8 inches) but I've never been able to entice him to come inside. He'll look back at me through the screen door - just waiting. And when the door is ajar, he'll check out what Tache is doing indoors.

Sometimes he'll venture in the space between the outside and inside doors, but he'll retreat just as quickly.

Last week he got caught indoors as he came in a little further to check out Tache and I closed the screen door behind him while I fetched his food and water bowl.

He really didn't like it at all.

This nearly legless furball of a cat was jumping two feet off the ground in an impossible attempt at getting out through the window. It only took me about 5 seconds to get his food off the table and return to the door, but I'm sure he'd had himself an adventure to remember in those 5 seconds.
