Well, says it all really :cry:
My son opened the kitchen window wide up and before I got the chance to get there, honey saw her opportunity and woooshhhhh :shock: She was straight in the back garden! As I haven't got the girls chipped yet, I was worried something like this might happen, so this morning when the kids were still asleep, I put collars with name/address tags on. I took the metal clips off and replaced with easy snap bands (the dental brace types), just in case.
So I calmly walked outside, not rushed as I knew it would spook her and called her over. She trotted in for a greeting and snuggled against my leg but as I went to pick her up, the big tom that frequents the garden appeared and that was it, honey refused to be picked up and she ran off :cry: I ran upstairs and scanned the neighbor's gardens and saw she was next door, so popped round. As I knocked on the door, alarm bells went off as I could hear a loud cat fight. Running into the garden, I was surprised to see honey beating 10 shades of cr@p out of this tom twice her size. Fur flying every where, spare of the moment, I shouted really loud and it broke them off, the tom ran away. Honey's heckles were still up and she was still in fight mode. I sat down and popped her fav treats out and talked to her calmly. She came round and wanted a cuddle but as I stood up, she flips out again. I hate holding a cat like this but I had to grab the scruff of her neck firmly and carry her home like she was a flea ridden feral.
Once home and Rori had greeted her, she calmed down. She's now washing her self and looking some what proud. Whilst I'm looking like i've been attacked by a miffed off lion lol :-:
Kids huh :evil: :evil:
-
Wow that's some start to the day!
-
think i'm ready for bed :rofl:
-
Oh Beth, I think she still feels the urge to mate. I bet that old Tom got a fright, too! Hope your wounds heal cleanly, and that Honey is none the worse for her adventure. :hug:
-
Very worrying and education about windows needed, is she neutered?
Hope that you can keep her in or in a walking jacket with a lead..................Lupin still tries to jump on top of fences in his and climbs posts and trees and I have to try and be alert at all times.
-
Yeah she's neutered, was done about 7 weeks ago.
The issue I have though is when honey's away, Rori cries the damn roof down :shocked:
-
Ah, Bengals :luck: :heeee heeee:
-
I'm slowly digging my grave as I type :rofl:
-
Oh my gawd, Beth - I'd have been a basket case. :tired: Well done to you for some cool thinking. Sounds like she's Lupin-esque in her ability to move like lightning at the first whiff of an open door or window. :doh:
-
Thats a good word, Lupin-esque :wow:
He has tried jumping over the fence again and then climbed a post where trellace is attached and he was too bloomin heavy and broke another section of trellace grrrrrrrrr, at least he had the good grace to look shocked!
-
:rofl:
Honey climbs fencing, I have that wire criss cross type fenching and she climbs it like a ladder
-
Yes Lupin can do that too.......sigh
Maybe he is a bengal in a birman suit!

damn those cats get about lol
