Adorable cats everyone! I've never had a cat as an adult & only 1 dog. My husband pretends he doesn't like cats but he always tries to make nice with friends' & neighbors' kitties. Our only dog was a beautiful but very shy keeshund rescued from a moving friend. After she died my husband was too heart broken to ever have another mammal pet, same with our birds after the last 1 died...Easier to have a fish sitter than an avian or mammal sitter but we haven't travelled much the last year or so...I'm sure our fishsitter could manage...sigh...I miss pettable pets beside the very few fish that allowed that, lol.
Now we have a visiting tuxedo "fashion cat". Every day it has a different color collar with matching bell. It was even naked! once or twice. We toss peanut bits to the birds and fashion cat has developed a taste for them too sometimes. Are peanuts ok (safe) for cats? It never gets more than a couple peanuts worth & not often. It would like to be more friendly if we made overtures but husband likes feeding the birds too much to encourage it. It's more of a squirrel chaser than a birder but still...I used to work in bird rehab & know what cats can do especially to the young & dumb critters.
