I think I've been adopted

Oh good! But yet another side benefit that you mat not have thought of, Wilso, is that women friends will find her irresistible!

Not at the moment they won't. She's very scruffy-just like me.

I had a similar experience with a Chupacabra.

Many years ago, when a starving student, a scruffy little black appeared at my house & wouldn't leave. He was dragging one leg & the operation to fix this condition was many $$$$. A price not to be scoffed at!
Well, he got his operation, convalesced & promptly went on his way. Never to be seen again.

Time for an extreme make-over for both of you, Wilso?

mmm calico cats are what we call tortoiseshell then.

is she long haired? if she is she'll need help to look after her coat, with regular brushing, then she'll be gorgeous.

Yes, she will, Wilso. So now you need a brush!
BTW, does she have a name yet?

Name and brush are both coming.

I dunno, maybe the ragged thing could work...you know, the sensitive animal rescuer....chicks dig that, don't they?

Wilso just needs some 'before' pics so that he can dazzle them with this glamourpuss that she now is with his care - that will impress the ladies!

Yes, Vivien! (Did you hear that, Wilso? :wink: )

Well, look how many women have responded to this thread, Cav! So it does work, to a point, BUT the creature cannot REMAIN ragged! Because that would suggest a lack of care, a No No for impressing women!

I just knew that kitty was going to make her way into the house Wilso :-D That is so very sweet of you to open your heart and your home to this kitty in such need.

I get the feeling this is not a well pussy cat. It slept inside last night. When I came out this morning and it woke up, it swayed a little before spinning in a circle like it was chasing it's tail. Collapsed on it's side and convulsed for with it's back arched for about 45 seconds. Then sat swaying like it was drunk for a couple of minutes, before finally seeming to come back to normal. Had a drink of milk and some food like nothing had happened. Looks like a trip to the vet tomorrow.

Do cats suffer from epilepsy?

Yes, they do.
Could also be pregnant.
Needs a vet mate.

Poor pussycat! Yes, the vet, Wilso. Let us know how it goes.

Taking her to the vet tomorrow.


And I'm still trying to work out how this happened.

She looks quite content and happy right now-asleep in front of the heater.

Eating normally? Anything different ?
