No Vacancies

[Barmaid]

We appear to have been adopted! This afternoon a little white and torty kitten turned up in my kitchen (she just walked in through the cat flap). I know all the local cats and haven't seen her before. She has fleas and obviously an allergy and was VERY hungry. She's also a feisty wee madam who took a lump out of my hand when I tried to put her in the box to take her to be scanned at the vets.

No chip, so she has been released outside, but she looks SO lost.

Mr BM is already in love with her so I think if she can't find her way home or decides to stay we have number 5.

However, I shall be putting a sign above the cat flap saying "No Vacancies at the Cat Hotel". I shall keep you posted.......

lol DT. I can't believe I've spent the last 15 minutes working out the sleeping arrangements for 6 cats - 2 of whom don't even live here.

Receptionist and Barmaid at the Hotel Catifornia....goodness me, the resumé is growing by the day.....

Barmaid, it sounds a bit like Chez LL!! Mr LL took one cat to the vet, and came back with two cats - "well she was so sweet and so ugly no one would want her". That one cost us thousands in vets bills. I think you and Mr Barmaid are lovely people x

Is she in yet? 5 months is awfully little and it's cold :-/ We had a black cat (named 'Noisey' by me) who sometimes comes in and steals Eric's food and has been found under the bed a couple of times. A neightbour up the road adopted him. In my head I'd like another cat but in practice it doesn't work out... oh, and snags would kill me! :c)

[LoftyLottie]

No he wouldn't China. He is just too lovely!! ;o)

[China Doll]

He thinks that is almost as funny as I do LL ;o)

[Barmaid]

lol China. He would LOVE another cat (although potentially in a seedy bap).

She's not in yet - I think with next door's lurking she is a bit frightened. I just went for a walk and found her in her hiding place and brought her back here and fed her. As I walked back (accompanied by next door's cat and the little stray) another sodding cat shot out my cat flap. That one is a local tom and he's a pain in the ****. I do draw the line at that.

Anyway, once next door's cat decides he's ready for bed, there is a bed and food and water all ready for the little stray.

She is a very talkative little madam! And very appreciative of a bit of fuss and some food.

[Barmaid]

I'll keep you posted. But as you can probably tell, if she decides she wants to stay, she can.

[China Doll]

Cool! Pictures? ;c)

[Barmaid]

We will be taking some pics today China because we want to see if we can trace her proper family in case she is just lost rather than abandoned. She is here this morning, safe and sound, and had her breakfast and a fuss.

[China Doll]

Awwww, you're a good woman BM :c)

[friedgreentomato]

If your that desperate for another cat I will quite happily give up piper into your living embrace!!

[EvianBaby]

Could someone plant a 'stray' kitten outside my house please. I'd love another cat but everyone would tell me off if I went and got one, but you can't turn away a stray can you :)

[Barmaid]

lol Helen. I am not THAT desperate. I just can't leave the poor thing to her own devices.

Anyway she's cleared off now, so perhaps now she's had a good feed and a warm night's rest she'll find her own way home.

[Barmaid]

Update:

Done some door knocking - she doesn't belong to anyone round here.
Took some pics, the problem being I am not entirely sure how to upload from my mobile onto anywhere. That I am working on.
Registered her with CPL and Lost/Found register.
Fed and cuddled her (of course!).

[tonyav]

She's yours BM, and you know it,lol.

[ladybirder]

Have you got rid of the unwelcome little visitors that came with her bm?

[Barmaid]

No, that's the next job. I was hoping she might come in if I fed her but next door's cat saw her off. She'll come back later when it gets cold (or if I go out and fetch her lol). She follows me to the shop now.

Barmaid -

If you just give me your address and the name of the nearest railway station I will send Frankie and Princess Stupid off on their travels tomorrow.

I hope that your latest little girl manages to win the rest of them over. Being a kitten she has a good chance that they will accept her.

Please keep updating us BM, I can picture the two of you walking to the shop x
