Visitor Cat
The most gorgeous cat has been visiting us morning and night for the past few weeks. In the left ear is a tattoo: 49 and the letters AW. It speaks (or understands) English. No doubt it's chipped but damned if I'm going to pay a vet for a read-out, let alone a trip there and back.
She gets milk morning and night but turns nose up at standard cat food: used to better things no doubt. There's a buxom Spanish wench living in a cellar two doors down, on the other side of the Russian Mafia, and on one of my late night walks, while she was bending over to fondle her little dog, I raised the subject of Pussy, but she said she had no knowledge of such things despite having a Persian. All very confusing.

Re: Visitor Cat
Are you guilty of facilitating an alien animal to seek succour among your community?
Re: Visitor Cat
Around here the vets will usually scan a chip for free, although there's still the time and cost of the journey.
Re: Visitor Cat
A long while ago I found a dog straying in the town centre.
I took it to the nearest vet where it was scanned.
They refused to tell me anything about the registered owner.

Let the cat decide.
They are good at such decisions.
Re: Visitor Cat
Normal procedure is that they either tell you which organisation to contact, or if they're taking custody of the animal then they'll make contact. The organisation that holds the owner's details will contact the owner to inform them that their pet has been found.
Re: Visitor Cat
All I wanted was 'news' that the owner had been found locally.

Re: Visitor Cat
I see that pet scanners that plug into a smartphone are ludicrously cheap but just reading a number won't help.

Re: Visitor Cat
Breakfast. Cat 49 demands some. ,Mrs OFSO puts piece of bread down, cat eats half. Mrs OFSO picks up rest. Cat grabs it from her, eats half, drops rest and walks away. Mrs OFSO picks it up. Cat runs back and eats it. Peverse creature...

Re: Visitor Cat
I don't know if No 49 is annoyed because it didn't get any of the chicken we had at lunch time, or is furious at the strong N wind, or both, but it's not around much today. Cats hate the wind as it disrupts their hearing, vital for staying safe....
Re: Visitor Cat
They also look undignified if it ruffles their fur the wrong way, and we can't have that.

Re: Visitor Cat
There is a French expression about petting a cat the wrong way.
OFSO, I didn't know about the wind and how they dislike it.

Re: Visitor Cat
I need access to someone who speaks really good French which for the time being I am not sure who to ask. Give me a day or two and I think I would find such a person.PHXPhlyer wrote: ↑Mon Aug 16, 2021 6:24 pmWell, what is it?Rwy in Sight wrote: ↑Mon Aug 16, 2021 5:56 pmThere is a French expression about petting a cat the wrong way.

Re: Visitor Cat
I am still looking for the expression - my sister with a French language degree gave me the wrong one.
I spent the morning at the secondary residence to water the plants. A cat come for some food - we do provide food, my sister does it because she like to help the stray cats, I do it because I like stray cats around to take on cockroaches, snakes and other nasty creatures.She did refused to be touched initially but later she did enjoy some caressing.
Here she is:
