Cat Tales

While Ratty talks about Squirrel Tales and Rain talks about Mushroom Tales (read as Smurfs Tales) I thought I should talk about some Cat Tales since there's too many cats in and around our house as of late! O__O *7 of them to be precise; if I omit the visiting neighborhood cats!*

The long story short, I saved a mom cat and its 4 new born kittens some months back from a vicious mongoose family attack. I gave them a cushioned box, fed them daily and even communicated more often with them. After a couple of weeks the mom cat without a word of thanks transferred the kittens to their original home, my neighbor's house!

Well.. it was then we got to know that the mom cat belonged to them! Unwillingly our neighbor took their pet cat's family in and fed them for a month or two. *the aunt might be allergic to cats so she hates them, but her daughter loves them too much*

And then.. one day all of a sudden the very cat family with only 3 kittens *yep, sadly one was missing* appeared before our house. Since then they live here.. outside though, as my own pet cats *who are grown ups now* have declared war against the invaders. And my parents too hate having too many cats inside the house. -__-

So we're waiting till someone adopts them, but the candidates who appeared before us aren't eligible at all.

You see, two girls *in middle school* were the first candidates. They came to our house, stamped their feet so loud, screamed at the poor kittens, dashed after them scaring the living daylights out of me as well! Mom wasn't around at that moment. The next day they calmly told my mom that they 'simply tried to catch the kittens'. -__-

The next candidate was a small girl *in Preschool or elementary school* came with her mom and demanded my mom to give the cute kittens. My mom asked if the lil girl could take care of them. The lil girl said she's already used to taking care of her pet cat at home. Mom asked if her pet cat will accept these new kittens.

Ok.. hold your breath. You are not going to believe what this tiny girl said.

She yelled at the top of her voice and demanded, "I'm gonna throw out that big old cat and bring in the lil kittens!"

Mom was dumbfounded and I became frozen.. as a block of Arctic ice.

After they left, I told mom don't even think of sending these kittens to that devil brat's house! And mom nodded silently, still confused.

We heard the lil girl still screaming at her mom while leaving, saying that she's going to throw out her pet cat for real. Her mom pleaded not to do so. And asked don't you feel sorry? And the devil brat said a big NO! *Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.. brats these days!*

So.. we are patiently waiting for someone kind enough to adopt them. The kittens are big enough to wander about and they even visit their old home and neighboring houses. So they vanish all of a sudden and appear all of a sudden before us. O__o

They just love playing hide and seek.. 24/7! O__o Their favorite hideout is the 'Pichcha' or Jasmine trees that mom took so much care to grow and keep them surviving during the driest summer we had. And these lil mischievous bratty kittens just climb up and down and hang upside down and swing about and play as much as they want on them. -__- They are just too cute to be described in words. ^__^

Ok.. enough with the Cat Tales.. you so wanted to see the kittens right? Couldn't capture all of them in one shot cause they never sit still and pose for me.. except during these times..

...

You won't believe this but they're so afraid of me but not at all afraid of my cam! They won't even let me pet them! So not fair. =D

This is a Paparazzi shot of their mom cat who was taking a nap


While I was checking some cat pics on the net, I came across a one just like this. And when I checked its breed, guess what it was?


African Wild Cat! O__O

...

This is my most senior pet cat, the grandma cat, and my very first pet after we moved to this house in the countryside about 9 years ago. This cat might be 7+ years old. *ya, I should have asked for its birthday at least* -__-


This one's not related to the above cat family at all. But this grandma cat, who saw 3 generations of cats, is really kind towards the lil kittens but not at all towards their mom. -__-

On the other hand.. the mom cat, of those cute lil kittens, behaves very much similar to a wild cat going fhuuuuuuuu.. fhuuuuuuuuuu trying to scare away my original pet cats.. and sometimes even me and my parents! -__- *Grrrrrrr... cats these days!*
