The Village Cat

Any update on my weekly dose of my "Thai babies"?!!!

[JetsetBkk]

No videos, I'm afraid - they haven't been around much, but

OK, strike that! I fed them earlier - mum, dad and the kids - but didn't take any videos. So I just popped outside and mum and a couple of the kids were snoozing near the gate. So I took a couple of videos. It's a bit dark outside but my 'floodlight' torch was just about good enough.

This morning I saw mum run past my gate - which is unusual as she usually strolls - followed by the lady from across the street! I said "Hello" and we got chatting. She had a small dish of food for the cat to which she had added some sleeping pills! She said she wanted to take mum to a vet and get her spayed but couldn't catch her! Unfortunately I was on my way out so have no idea whether she got mum to eat some of the food. But maybe it explains why mum was a little sleepy tonight!

[Patsycat]

But you said she seemed preggers again...

Love their hate eyes "why did you wake us up"!!!

[JetsetBkk]

I'm sure she was - just have a look at the two videos in post 59. She was big on 7th June and then she disappeared until 15th June when she had become thin again.

And judging by the state of her boobies and nipples, I'm sure she's feeding her latest brood somewhere. Maybe one day she'll bring them all over to my place to feed with her!

[Patsycat]

Any update??

[JetsetBkk]

Haven't seen them in my garden for a while - they've been up the soi being fed by someone else. But mum and dad came back the last few days and today were just lazing around with two of the kittens in the garden.

I noticed that two of the kittens were still being suckled by mum. Is that normal? They must be about 8 months old.

[Patsycat]

I don't know, but i'm sure if she didn't want them to she would let them know.

I thought she was preggers again a couple of months ago?

[JetsetBkk]

Me too. The first video in post #59 shows her pregnant, I'm sure. So maybe they didn't survive or the other cats/kittens did them in.

I don't know if that's common in semi-domesticated cats, but it happens in the wild with lions:

Toms will kill kittens not their own, yes for sure

Dad has found a new place for a nap...

And mum is definitely pregnant again:

I really love these two cats, thanks for posting.

But please do join in the efforts to get them neutered...BOTH of them because spaying only the female will put a strain on their beautiful relationship. Neuter them both and they'll stay happily together till death doth them part.,..

[Patsycat]

Lovely to see them again!!

[JetsetBkk]

I haven't seen mum or the kids since the beginning of the month when I took this video:

Dad still comes round occasionally, but he's not very hungry and eats only a little. I think he likes the garden because it's peaceful and quiet and I think mum must be over the road taking care of the new kids. I hope so anyway.

[Patsycat]

I hope mum is ok. Thanks for the update.

[JetsetBkk]

I can't stop laughing at this silly video I found:

[JetsetBkk]

Another good one:

And another...

Any sign of the cats?

"Dad", the old cat, comes around fairly often, especially when it's cold and sleeps on the door mat overnight. Sometimes one of the female kittens - of the January brood - is with him. But she doesn't like him much and often hisses at him if he gets too "friendly".

As for mum and the other kittens, I haven't seen them for ages. And mum was pregnant for sure, so I haven't seen the new brood either. I should go and ask the people up the soi if they know what has happened to them all, but I'm afraid the news won't be good.

Got my new Christmas tree:

Nice video, nice story, started off well, then I realised it was a load of BS. Sorry!

(And the "Buy my DVD" advert at the end clinched it! )

If you want to 'deactivate' a cat, try this method:

[Patsycat]

Ha ha ha. I should have shown that to the vet years ago!!

[jimmybcool]

Love it. Fat cat became multicat

Got a few cats around my house in the states. Posted what I thought was a funny video of one of them being brushed. They hate it but with all that hair it has to happen.

How did you surmise it BS? Or is it just your opinion? The reaction of the cat guy convinced me, along with the no knowledge of the two cubs. or are you saying the whole thing was a set up just to sell a video

There's an hour long documentary on culture.com, if anyone's interested.

Of course it's just my opinion. I simply don't believe that this woman, Anna Breytenbach, kneeled down in front of an angry caged leopard and magically transformed it into a calm and peaceful creature by sending it messages via her thoughts. The leopard certainly didn't send her the message "Please don't call me Diablo!" That's just too silly.

The title of the video is "The incredible story of how leopard Diabolo became Spirit - Anna Breytenbach, animal communicator". So I agree - it is incredible. i.e. unbelievable. I don't believe for a second that she can "receive messages from animals" or vice versa.

Whether it was completely done to make money from the DVD (or books, or whatever) I don't know. But the mere fact that the advert was there at the end of the video made me think that this is some kind of business enterprise.

I know there are ways of calming down wild animals and making them more domesticated. The street cats that I feed will run a mile if I make a sudden move or shout or look at them with big, staring eyes. So I talk quietly and move slowly and don't try to stare them out. They stay and let me stroke them (sometimes) - but I don't send them any messages or receive any from them .

[sbk]

Animals read body language far more than humans do so perhaps the messages you send are not as clear to you as they are to them?

I dont believe there is a psychic connection with animals that results in communication but i think that we communicate far more to animals than we know we do. i do believe they have a consciousness and intelligence, it just happens to be different than our own.

Toms will kill kittens not their own, yes for sure

Our experience was if the tom is part of the household with the female. The kittens are left alone. She wouldn't let him mate with her. Got quite short tempered with him at times. I did once chase a strange tom away from a litter of 5. When I went back to check 2 were dead from a bite to the neck. One of the survivor's is the cat that needs to go to a hospital.

Any sign of the cats?

Today, for the first time in weeks, one of the "January 2013" brood came visiting while I was feeding "Dad". Great to see at least one of the kittens is still around.
