Neighbourhood Cats

annehelena  said about 4 years ago  or at  5:10PM on Friday, May 16 2008 in events

The Inner West has turned me into a fucken cat person. I know the cats living in my street better than their owners. That is, I don't even know their owners. They're probably cunts anyway.

This thread is to document awesome neighbourhood cats.

There was a massive white fluffy cat in my backyard just before, and s/he swiped at me when I tried to pat her/him, and I ran away. S/he looked like the result of a sheep having sex with a lion.

I just looked out my window - kitty's back for more!

Adjusts helmet, dons gloves

*This was an utterly, utterly pointless thread. In true M+N spirit, please keep it alive.

look up at my place and you can often see my little legend sitting on the ledge picking at all the pot plants...

you will not win against TC.

ornery tom cats have no time for pleasantries.


goldfoot  said about 4 years ago:

There's a black cat called Vinnie in my hood who is bold as fuck. He casually walked in to my house uninvited a few months back with the least hesitation. He drops by every few days, checks things out and the pisses off. No idea who the owners are.

i learnt the hard way when i comes to touching other peoples cats, no pun intended. squash

De De, is our next door neighbours cat.
We actually know our neighbour well, she's around the same age and pretty cool, I would definately count her as a good friend. We can't have a cat because of BM's allergies, but De De seems to be half ours anyway. I adore her! She's usually willing to give me cuddles when I'm outside, and lately she's been sitting on our kitchen window sill to watch us cooking dinners, or sitting on the office window sill while BM is working.
We have been a bit naughty lately leaving her some milk here and there, cos she's just so damn cute.


annehelena  said about 4 years ago:

Very naughty indeed, PR - dairy milk isn't good for cats.

De De sounds awesome, though.


Project-Rabbit  said about 4 years ago:

While doing the groceries last night I actually spent quite a bit of time in the pet section isle pondering on a treat for her, but then thought, I shouldn't as its a bit cheeky leaving her the milk we already do. I don't want to steal someone else's pet


annehelena  said about 4 years ago:

Did I see you eating in the window of the Old Man's Hat last Saturday, Charles?

My mum was commenting on the cafe, and I said ''I know a guy who lives above there - well, I don't actually know him... mess and noise,'' and a guy sitting in the window looked up.


Project-Rabbit  said about 4 years ago:

Isn't it? I didn't know that. I don't want to hurt her! I love her!!


annehelena  said about 4 years ago:

A little bit of cat milk isn't stealing her!

And if she happens to decide she wants to stay... well, that's her decision.


annehelena  said about 4 years ago:

x-postage.

Yeah, but you can get cat's milk from the supermarket - Whiskas and brands like that make it.


BADALEX  said about 4 years ago:

I was in the process of adopting a stray cat.

It was fairly rad.

Then I forgot to feed it one night and it never came back.

Poor little bastard, he was fairly rad.

However, due to the good buddha power of our house, we have plenty of cats coming to visit really.


frenk  said about 4 years ago:

''Did I see you eating in the window of the Old Man's Hat last Saturday, Charles?''

no.. i have eaten there but not for a while. i swear I have seen you though. sometimes i'm not so sure.

BADALEX  said about 4 years ago:

And with one NSFW pic, charles entered the realm of dickheads, which is exactly where he belongs.


feralmedia  said about 4 years ago:

That is so Photoshopped.


tinyman  said about 4 years ago:

this thread lacks pictures.

(erm, yeah, i had charles on dickhead ages ago, so whatever he did didn't count.)


charlesincharge  said about 4 years ago:

coooool first confirmed dickhead!


russiancaravan  said about 4 years ago:

I'm sorely tempted to steal my neighbour's ginger, Rumpole. He is most the awesome cat in the world. I love him. He comes to greet me when my car pulls up in my carspace and is always angling for cuddles. As soon as I move, I'm getting a cat.

meanwhile at the back door, Tabby, our cannibalistic oldest, who's hellbent on culling the mice population of our backyard, has done her usual trick of meowing repeatedly until i come and open the door. she then gives me a look of confusion, but doesn't come in.


squeaka  said about 3 years ago:

Haha! Great pic, Peter!
I have never met a cat that actually walks in when you open the door for them... The look - captured nicely.


eep!  said about 3 years ago:

Squeaka, you're scared of the cat that lives at my house - you told me about the nightmares you had about it... and your cat isn't in my neighbourhood. Nothing to take back.


Lucydiamond  said about 3 years ago:

HA!


tinyman  said about 3 years ago:

hehe. they're confused because you didn't use correct royal protocol. you're meant to bow/curtsey for them then roll out the red carpet.


russiancaravan  said about 3 years ago:

Noorrrrrrrrrrrrr, Morris!

Peter, your cats are rad.


squeaka  said about 3 years ago:

Ha! That's what I need to get. A red carpet for my righteous kitty, so she knows she's really welcome.
I always thought it was just the cat playing hard to get... ''YOU lock the door, YOU deal with the consequences later!''
Eep! - Yeh yeh, you're right. I forgot you were living with a cat. Thanks for reminding me.


goldbuttons  said about 3 years ago:

my cat does this. she even rubs past your leg as a thankyou. so cute


eep!  said about 3 years ago:

Squeaka's cat used to yowl until you let it in, then storm past you to it's food cupboard.
Man, were you going to cop an ear full if you didn't keep up...


postergirl  said about 3 years ago:

SOAPY of St Kilda is my latest feline pal!

(And yes, Peter, your cats are dawwwwwwwwwwww)


kuroneko  said about 3 years ago:

Daww, I miss having a cat. There aren't even any neighbourhood cats around here.

My ex used to have a neighbourhood furball that would pop into his house randomly for a few pats and maybe some leftover tuna. Cheeky bugger.


switchbladesisters  said about 3 years ago:

theres a fuzzy grey cat that lives in my roof.

uhhh... thats all.


michaela-sophie  said about 3 years ago:

I am sure someone has been feeding our cat. She is obese, it's ridiculous!


Project-Rabbit  said about 3 years ago:

I don't know whats up with De De lately, but she's been very needy.
Jumping on the kitchen window sill everytime I'm there and scares me half to death. But then she meows and gives me her cute face, and all is forgiven


fethehellcat  said about 3 years ago:

Is anyone else finding Peter's picture of Tabby hilarious?


postergirl  said about 3 years ago:

Yes! Classic shot.


Lucydiamond  said about 3 years ago:

I am working from home today and Morris is all curled up on our bed purring like a little noise machine.

I don't understand why her owners don't allow her inside at night. It's so cold and wet at the moment, the poor little bugger.


tinyman  said about 3 years ago:

you should totally let cats indoors overnight. you're supposed to, to limit them hunting possums or something. plus it's comforting to sleep to the sound of purring. but if the cat's too warm, they may start drooling on your doona.

i wish i could get neighbourhood cats into my house. some were brave enough to circle around and peek in, but they all run away when approached.


GnomeChomsky  said about 3 years ago:

eep! said 15 hours ago: Squeaka, you're scared of the cat that lives at my house - you told me about the nightmares you had about it...

I can completely understand why Squeaka would be scared of Arnie - his psoriasis is getting worse & he is really scabby now!

He's still cute though, in a scabby old senile incontinent & needy kinda way.
