WHAT IS THIS MOISTURE FALLING FROM MY EYES.

This is seriously the sweetest story. Good job, Gus. And you're a good neighbor for giving him lots of attention. It's rare for a cat to like other cats so much.

Aw, thanks! I don't talk about my little cat much, and I won't here just now anymore, as it's too painful.

My neighbours and the local cat home are the real stars, though -- Gus was brought in by the care worker of his original owner. His original owner was developmentally disabled, but still had Gus from kittenhood. He spent the first five years of his life confined to her one-room flat, and only eating human junkfood. She alternated from over-cuddling him to hitting him; she brought him in to the cat shelter to be put down because 'he was too ugly.' (It's his eye -- one of his tear ducts was torn in kittenhood, so his face is a bit stained; it still runs sometimes, but he's not in pain or ill.) The original owner was given a court order against any future pet ownership.

On the plus side, he's now fat and fruity, and I know from having seen it, his supper dish looks like this

Meanwhile, I can't help it; I keep a window open to the Tiny Kittens during the work day, because it's amazing how quickly I can go from :byodame: to chill just by clicking over to it

There's two of them -- a domestic cat who had five (which is the one I've linked to)
http://livestream.com/tinykittens/tip

but she's also helping out at the milk bar with a feral (8 kittens, but one died) being cared for

http://livestream.com/tinykittens/sisko

It's really interesting seeing the difference between these two cat-mums; the feral is completely wild and just utterly terrified and constantly wary, while the domestic one (who was abandoned whilst pregnant) basks in the luxury of the shelter's amenities and attention from the various carers.

The feral wasn't nursing her kittens originally because she was so worried about predators, so they've been placing them in with the domestic; the first time the feral kitten got hold of the domestic's milk, they drank themselves into little kitty comas :3:


edited to add
:byodame: Tip's kittens have open eyes! :byodame:

Also there are some seriously fat potatoes there considering they're only a little over two weeks old.

Here's a picture of him to make up for lack of pictures in the story



He's called Gus, and he likes to bang on the catflap after dark so that I'll come out and run around the garden and up and down the street with him (something we all three used to do when my little cat was around).

This is really the sweetest thing :3: reminds me of when my parents first got their dachshund as a puppy years ago, we kept her in the kitchen gated off until she was house trained. She'd cry at night and usually me or my mom would go down and sit with her, just playing and tiring her out so she'd sleep. She ended up being the sweetest, most social and friendly dog we've ever had (even if she was a total coward around rabbits in the back yard).
