My Cat is Growing Up...

Four and a half months ago, The first time in my life I adopted a small cat ( about 4 month ?) with unexpected, when he first came he was dirty, thin and weak.I wanted to give him a bath, but he was too small to do that.sigh

Well,at that time, he kept safe distance from me, he slept outside at the balcony himself for the first 3 nights. and the next following days, as the weather getting cold, he liked to snuggle beside the freezer. So I put a small box there and he began to sleep inside it every night.At the daytime I checked his body, I didn't want shared his insects.I wanted him clean and healthy,grin so I using the garlic water to kill them if I found, it worked well. I cleaned his ears with eye ointment. He let me did it only I needed is a quick job.yay

Then one day I found out some hairs began falling down from his small tail and he refused me to touch it as well, I didn't know what happened and searched online, considered that he is too small to use medicine, I thought of vinegar this time. luckily he is very close to me, it's easy to rub vinegar onto his sick tail... I have two type of vinegars,strong one and soft one,to my surprised that he liked the smell of vinegar, wow the strong one stopped his sick spreading quickly. Then everyday I only using the soft one which is more safer to him, he liked to lick it,I helped him to took off the bad hairs and then waiting for the new hairs growing back in a long month .

Now I still dropped a few vinegar in water to wash his body hairs often, he seems used to it, his hairs are soft and gentle when touch them after drying, And no doubt, his status of health is well also. He likes chasing his tail in circling on my bed. now I would rather call him a vinegar cat ? rolling on the floor laughing

Here's few pics of him

While traveling in the PRC years ago, I got to enjoy many dishes woked quite simply with garlic and a few other spices and olive type oil. Broccoli was a favorite. But I always wondered how good kitty might be in the hands of these talented cooks. Just thinking out loud. Aa.

He has grown quite well since then and he looks great.
He must be a wonderful companion.
I am happy for you!

BTW, how is your dad?
I have a cat "visitor", actually 2, that traipse around my apartment in the evening. One is an orange Tabby and the other one is quite unusual. It is black with swatches of orange highlights running through the fur. And it's real "friendly" but it is not social in that it will move away from you.

Your cat looks great!!
@Phoenix Yor kitty is cute. I'm glad you took him in but why did you help this one and not the other one you found last year? You said he was better off outside. What made you change your mind?

My dad and I spent a quiet New years at home, his desease seems still under control... thanks for your asking!wine
Thank you Ed;

Good question! Music;

I asked myself also, answering your Q might be have another blog,laugh Now I try in simple here.

I interested in cat many years ago...

Last year that cat when I found him who was already living there (That basket)for a few days, the 2 of my neighbous fed him everyday before I knew him, he seemed used to his situation: eat,play,sleep... free as he liked I meant. I let him into my home twice and found he was too activity which worried me a little.Cos I focus on my dad who was at home.He looked healthy enough not like the one I adopt. he can survived himself in the nature...

This one when I found him, at first I was not sure I would adopt him,I only have one apartment. That was our national day which was wet seemed rain again, I carried it into that basket under my building,wanted him in safe from rain... instead,he was not run away, busy to clean his hairs even not looked at who took him there, hmm, a love clean cat,I thought,wow at that moment I changed my mind,I took him upstares ,and put it in a small box at the balcony to see if he wanted to run.but he continued busy to clean his hairs and ignored where he was been. then slept there the all day and night without eating any food. More important, my dad was staying in the hospital those days,which was given me a chance to familar with him. Otherwise I dared not to carry him back...grin

Now we are familar with each other, I like his character. Different from the prior one, he never shows his belly, he likes to play with me,if I am busy he plays alone or sleeps,he rarely bothered me if I am in busy... He is still close to me liked I was his mom...laugh he can stay with me all his life as long as he likes, but if oneday he wants outside world, I can let him go...


Now I hope I answered your Q clearly.hug
How is your cat doing today is there a follow up?wave wave wave
Hi,British;

Thanks for asking, Now this cat is becoming my life partner in some sense... hug

Merry Christmas to you !bouquet
