Cat update

Well, she isn't tagged, nor is she pregnant. I also assume that she doesn't have anything obviously wrong with her, otherwise the vet nurse would probably have mentioned it (even though we didn't have a full MOT).

So, step two is to stick posters around the local area and wait. If that doesn't work, we might have to look at a) adopting her, b) naming her, and c) working out where we can put a cat flap (it's not looking good at the moment).

Mine manages perfectly well without a cat flap. It may depend on how much of an outdoor cat she is.

I couldn't agree more. Our last cat (back when we lived on the Bath Uni campus) was an outdoor cat, and wasn't averse to peeing on anything and everything if she couldn't get out when she wanted (see previous posts), so we're a little wary of not having a cat flap.

Ouch,

but then our siamese peed because he saw a cat outside. Dominance. Nothing to do with access.

Charlotte was a very nervy, and very needy cat who'd previously had a retired professor at her beck and call. I probably shouldn't have described her as an outdoor cat, because what she wanted most was to be on the other side of any given door (she insisted on trying to sleep on our pillows at night, and would wail and chew the carpet if we had the temerity to close the bedroom door, for example).

The previous campus cats that we looked after were a different story. The only time either of them had a slip was when it had been snowing for two days; Minnie didn't want to leave the house, so he peed in a convenient plastic bag. Unfortunately, the bag contained all our Christmas cards that we were going to post later that day...
