I got a phone call from my friend Pat this morning asking if I knew anyone who had a black and white pud tat. We live in a tower block and a B&W ran into the block this morning soaking wet and wanting to get in the lift. Another resident picked it up, and delivered it to Pat as she knew Pat was a cat person.
I expained that a lad on my floor had a cat that looked like the felix cat and was called felix so went to knock on his door but got no answer. I went down to Pats and met this rather gorgeous young man who is coming up in need for the erm 'op' shall we say. He was lovely and friendly but wanted to be friends with Pats cat Dakota rather more than Dakota wanted to be friends with him. He wandered around and played with her toys, tried each of her favourite places and then went to look at her. She wasnt impressed and did the hissing and growling but no contact.
After a little while though Dakota came up the the settee where I was sitting and hissed at me then went behind and hid.
Daki had a rough life before Pat and spent a long time hiding and even now is so nervous I cant touch her so at that point I went to knock on the lads door again.
I rang the bell no answer so hammered on the door and he finally opened it. Turns our he HAD lost his little felix as he carries him downstairs and plonks him outside the flats and oddly enough felix wanders
Anyway felix and owner are reunited with many purrs and cuddles and Ive given owner a lecture on getting Felix done and keeping him in as its not fair so have a cat thats out all day until you collect him and let him back in.
Turns out the girlfriend has been giving the same lectures so fingers crossed it will happen.
Overall not the best circumstances but Felix is obviously loved and cared for and is a beautiful friendly cat so although I'll be keeping an eye out Im hoping the message has got through
Pat however has decided that Dakota is an only cat and will stay that way
Im glad that felix is loved and cared for and hopefully his life will improve and even better not long after felix left Pats Dakota came out of hiding to have her breakfast..... bet she still hates me though
love
Tab
