well i couldnt resist posting about him any longer, ive had the pleasure or lucifers company for a week now, still cant believe noone seems to be looking for him :P
over the weekend i spent a small fortune on the little devil, loads of toys (included a snake like thing on a stick from PAH, which he loves, drags it around with him when hes not killing it) some natures menus treats (which again he loves, so much so its unsafe to feed them by hand, so he gets them tossed and hidden :evillaugh:) and hes got a igloo bed (not that he needs it, but i was on a roll! ;D) a scratching wave board (cos he seems to prefer horizonal scratching to vertical) a panic mouse and lazer pointer
o and some cat milk, because he doesnt seem to drink any water, despite my kitchen floor at one point covered in everything capable of holding water to see what height hed prefer :rofl: and hes always trying to nab my cereal milk so i thought hey, cat milk, then i wont worry. but classic cat style he doesnt want it, although im sure if i pretended to eat it hed want it then. >:(
hes deff keeping the name lucifer- he was playing bed mice and i (very stupidly :() meowed at him... im an idiot. split second later hes flying at my face snarling all paws and claws out,by sheer luck i had the duvet over my arm and when i raised them in defence he decided to kill the duvet again instead... might sound silly but i was terrified! slept in a tiny curled up ball in a cocoon duvet. anyway hes now stalking me whenever its dark cos im a silly human and scare easily (not that he goes for me, he just looks like hes going to >:( )
some pictures of him waiting for me to throw stuff for him to chase (he hides in doorways and in the bookcase)

and him stalking his snake ( couldnt cope with the mutlitasking of taking pictures and moving stuff and he moves to much!)
(and yes the carpet is rather erm interesting :sick: its why the flat is cheap tho! ;) )

Aww!!
-
What a gorgeous kitty he is ..love you name by the way Snarf was the name of my first and most previous little kitty xx
-
:thanks: :yesss:
:evillaugh: littlebobo Thundercats rule!! i always loved snarf :Luv: id always thought about it for a name for a cat when i had one but lucifer just sort of had to be lucifer, apparently lucifer means morning star, and lucifer was an angel that rebelled against god and tried to depose him :rofl: so got booted out of heaven and had to work for the devil- cant think why that suits him :rofl:
i couldnt believe noone had taken the name snarf yet when i registered :Crazy: guess im giving away my age a little! ;)
-
He's a babe :Luv: He certainly landed on his paws when he found you ;D
-
Awww he is gorgeous and has a wee cheeky face :Luv: :Luv:
-
Lucifer is absolutly :censored: GORGEOUS - Love the name, but I bet he is a real Angel :)
stunning ginger lad

Great to hear the updates, he is gorgeous and sounds very mischeivous like my cody.
I would try to encourage him to drink water though, its really quite important...many cats like a slightly running or dripping tap to drink / play from and also long term thinking you could try a cat water fountain thingy. Cat milk is a treat not a drink and also if he likes cows milk he shouldnt really have that either as most cats are lactose intolerant so it could give him digestive problems.
He sounds like he needs castrated sooner rather than later (does he not stink yet ?? LOL) Mind you he sounds very ike cody and he was neutered at 4 mnths old LOL.
I'd see if he likes a dripping tap first of all and that might encourage the drinking, mind you cody sits in the sink waiting for the tap to be turned on then an hour later the place is soaking LOL

hi lynn, thanks for the help, ive had taps dripping since he got here (the plumbing in my flats abit suspect, thank god im not on a meter!!) but hes not fussed, at least not that ive seen,ive tried leaving them running a little too. fountains on the wishlist but wanted to see how much the vet bills gonna be ( chop,chip, flea,worm and MOT) dont worry hes not got any of my cereal milk- it just doesnt stop him trying..every morning. im having to eat standing up in the middle of the room! >:(
is it bad for him to have cat milk? hes refusing it anyway i ust thought it would be better than no fluids?
at the moment hes got food in gravey and im mixing some water in (he eats/drinks that, is it enough though?)
id like to castrate him as soon as possible ( covering lucifers ears :evillaugh:) i just wanted to give his owners (if he has any) a chance to claim him. the cpl said that its not rare for people to wait 2/3 weeks before looking for their missing cat but i personally wouldnt want to give him back to someone that cared so little for him or to be honest someone that waited a week, then for all i know his owners could be away and whoever was looking after him hasnt bothered to start looking. how long do you think i should wait?
how do you mean stink??? hes not spraying if thats what u mean? ive not noticed him smelling but then i work in a lab, solvents might have killed off any sense of smell!
-
LOL by stink i mean, if he was you'd know :rofl: -- Tom cat smell can get through to even the most burned out noses hee hee. I see what you mean about the owners though, however as you say you've done all the posters, contacted the right organisations etc ... I cant help thinking he'll be better off where he is so i'd stop looking now and consider him found :evillaugh: :evillaugh:
As long as he's not getting out or spraying etc you could wait another week or two probably but perhaps not much longer incase he does start spraying then you might have him re covering the area coz his smell is there. Also i'd say as soon as he gets his vaccinations the better so he'll be protected from cat diseases some of which are airborne.
doesnt sound to me as though his previous owners could have been very responsible really .
If you are adding extra water in his food that is fine as he'll get quite alot out of that, would still be nice for him to drink abit aswell though. You could also try water in a glass or cup, ive heard some say on here that their cats like to drink out of that !

Snarf
Lucifer is GORGEOUS and sounds like a real little character. :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
You have go to love Thundercats ...Snarf Snarf :)
-
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: new trick!
lucifer has just discovered the bath... and how convieniently it traps his toys. hes carrying toys in then going :Crazy: batting them around :rofl: sounds like someones demolishing a house in there!
guess i wont be getting much sleep then!
-
He's luvverly!
-
Snarf try putting a ping pong ball in the bath .... my lot love it!
-
covering codys ears ..hes got enough antics without taking over the bath aswell
-
He's brilliant Snarf. What a little mischief maker, but what a character! Love the photos.
-
He is lush, love the pics of the cheeky monkey!!!!! x
-
awww he is gorgeous
he looks a bit like my Bailey
-
What a handsome boy I just love red heads! :Luv: I'd keep him!!!!
-
he sounds like one of my fosters, she was kept in the bathroom initially as the vet thought she had cat flu, and you had to check the bath daily cos she would put her toys in there!! My bedroom is next door to the bathroom, so it was a lovely few weeks!! If he is eating wet food, then I wouldn't worry too much about extra water, wet food is 80% moisture, so most cats dont need that much more on top, but adding extra water to it will help.
-
well noones claimed lucifer, so im gonna keep him! :yesss: :yesss: :yesss:
hes booked in for first vaccs tomorrow and an mot and when hes got the all clear he'll be getting the chop and chip, he'll get flead and wormed as well tomorrow i think, unless the vet has any objections?
this has become his bestest sleeping position, probably cos its driving me batty!

awwww bless him
im so pleased for u that ur keeping him
:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :yesss: :yesss: :yesss:
-
Thats wonderful ;D
Another ginger to add to the Purrs collection..................ummmmm he is ginger isnt he ?
-
Great news, he is a very lucky boy to have found such a great cat Mum :)
-
well hes had his first vac, fleaded and wormed and booked for castration on monday! ;D
vet said he was in good nick and said he was lovely- he didnt growl or squirm for his vac either, just sort of squated a bit more and threw me a :scared: look, and he took his worming tablet no trouble at all :Luv: :Luv:
:thanks: for all the nice comments, its me thats the lucky one though! ;D
-
success! :yesss:
he'll drink buxton mineral water ( :what: ) out of a pasta bowl! hurrah! mind you he also bats the water and sticks his paws in it so he might get bored...
id tried different heights of cups and bowls and glasses but i remembered id read somewhere (highly likely here!) about some cats liking to drink from something where their whiskers dont touch the sides?
as im now keeping lucifer, should i go through the internet lost and found ads and put "rehomed" or ask for him to be taken off? is that mean??
-
Aww, I am glad he has a home, and the vet has given him the all clear. Yeah, I would remove all your ads now.
-
too right i'd remove all ads now. sorry finders keepers in this case :rofl:
-
lucifer is now chipped and neutered. he ignored me all night and morning cos i wouldnt feed him :( and it was so hard leaving him at the vets (im sure they thought i was mad, i just couldnt stop myself telling them to look after him etc :-[ )
hes not in the least bit sleepy or groggy or off his food tho, well hes still running about but hes not a ginger blur so he probably is feeling it. so proud of him for behaving so well, the vet nurse said hes and angel (hehe :evillaugh: during the day maybe, at night no >:( )
not sure im forgiven yet, how long will he be sore for?
-
thats great news snarf and i'm sure he wont hold a grudge
-
Well done for giving him the chip n snip Snarf ..glad that you are keeping him think that you are clearly meant to be together..
When mine got their bits done they were not even the slightest bit bothered LOL ..I worried all day and when they got back they just messed about and then slept woke up in the morning and like nothing ever happened ...
I personally worry more about females as they have the stiches !!
-
glad that you are keeping him think that you are clearly meant to be together..
i hope so, i think so, i just know that i loved him within a split second of meeting his gaze :Luv: he seems attached to me, might just be a cunning rouse to get showered with toys and treats though -(if it is, its worked!! :rofl: he has not one but 2 wiggly wagglers and more balls and toys and fishing rods than i can count now)
yes, the lady cats have a harder time of it and a more worrying op, im just a worrier! ill probably camp out in the vets for the day if i ever take a lady in for a spay!! :evillaugh:
i think im forgiven now, i think he was more put out by the pre-op starving than the actual op! for his first 3-4 days with me he pretty much inhaled food, then he slowed down (like he realised he didnt need to store it up, hed always be fed?) then after the pre-op starving he started inhaling it again but now hes calmed down again, and hes been on my lap or next to me all day, completely flat out and letting me rub his belly ( which is so rubbable!)
-
completely flat out and letting me rub his belly ( which is so rubbable!)
Hmmn, a likely story :shify: I won't believe it until I see pics of that belly - please, pretty please :evillaugh:
-
:yayyy: What a gorgeous red head he is! :Luv:
-
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
erm well lucifer has lived up to his name tonight!
i had a friend over (~with the excuse of catching up but blatently to show off my boy! didnt want to until i was sure he was staying, well pictures to everyone but no introductions)
so hes spent 3 hours stalking her and attacking her and pouncing on her :rofl: he never has his claws out though, it just takes some getting used to! luckily shes catmad too and thought it was as funny as i did. were probably getting him into bad habits though, even just allowing it, let alone playing along and encouraging it! o well, i'll just have to stop inviting non-cat people into my home ;) terrible shame that
-
Awwww where are these bely pics ..have to see them have to have :wow:
-
sorry! you know what cats are like, if u want them to do something will they?!!! :P he probably thinks ive flipped, ive been crawling around after him with cameras to try to get a pic but it worked, i finally got some!! :rofl:
