A pretty little tabby is presently sat on our coal bunker making moo moo eyes at Albert .
Like any lazy and pragmatic fellow , Albert is sat on the kitchen windowsill , next to his feed bowl.
He is warm and comfortable and surprisingly is looking at the sad stranger in a rather benign way
The tabby looks cold.
I took her out some food as she is meowing in a needy way.
William is watching proceedings through the cat flap with his one good eye.
The Prof has already gone to bed with George.
Winnie is warming her nipples by the fire
Mary, as usual is with me in the arm chair, she too is asleep.
So the little Mexican standoff remains largely unwitnessed.
I'm watching The Bourne Ultimatum on tv.
Jason Bourne is walking quickly through the city
In the ad break I put more food out for the tabby.....she is very hungry
Albert is still on the window ledge pretending he's asleep.
Who says nothing happens here on a Saturday night

Is Albert a suitable suitor or just a friendly face?
ReplyDeleteA potential friend me thinks
DeleteNice quiet night at home. lovely.
ReplyDeleteNice quiet night at home. lovely.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...
ReplyDeleteYou know what happens when you feed them.
Well, at least that's how I get all my cats.
And husbands, too, come to think of it.
The prof never fed me!
DeleteYou forgot breakfast in bed after your first night?
DeleteRuth in Oxnard. Ca. USA
He was too busy pulling cherubs off the bedroom wall! :D
DeleteOne lucky little tabby!!
ReplyDeleteNice quiet night at home. lovely.
ReplyDeletePut out a little nest for her to snuggle in out of the cold and wait and see.
ReplyDeleteAbandon kitties do not last long where I live. Too many predators.
I posted on Friday a new cat at the shelter where son works, I would love to adopt.
Merida would not stand for it though. thehamish would like him very much though.
cheers, parsnip
Cats are safer here gayle xx
ReplyDeleteThey are very lucky to find you.
DeleteWe have a cat who is not one of ours and he comes in through the cat flap and feeds and then leaves. My cats just look up and listen until he's gone and then go back to sleep.
ReplyDeleteThats more common than most people think
DeleteIndeed it is. My brother had the same. He introduced a more sophisticated cat flap that only operates when his cats come in with a chip. His cats dont all like using it so he feeds them outside now. So.it is still a win for the stray. He feeds from the outdoor trough now.
DeleteFeeling sorry for the hungry kitty. I have no idea how many cats we feed from time to time. We claim Tacky, but several come for her food as she is fed outdoors.
ReplyDeletetake of the precious kitty.
ReplyDeleteThat's how our sweet Bella came to live with us. There must be a sign on your house saying there was a vacancy for another kitty. Lucky tabby.
ReplyDeleteI dont think so...four dogs and all...... But we shall see
DeleteI always fed the hungry. Sometimes they stick around and other times they move on. Rescued a tiny kitten last April from the ditch by our road. brought her in much to the dismay of our 16 year old Sissy Cat. She is now howling in heat and will have to make her THE appointment.
ReplyDeleteJohn, please do post a follow up after tomorrow dawns. Maybe the hungry little tabby used to live in some village home?
ReplyDeleteI suspect she does..she looks a gentle soul
DeleteAre you going to keep feeding her? I hope so! She needs a kind human like you! <3
DeleteMaybe Albert doesn't know what to do. You will need to demonstrate - perhaps with a frozen chicken.
ReplyDeleteHe's not a full tom, so i guess you are right....he's also not used to cats being a bulldog orientated boy
DeleteSaturday night - date night!
ReplyDeletePerhaps Albert doesn't recognize her as a cat since he lives with so many dogs :)
ReplyDeleteHmmmm ....I see a tabby moving in :0)
ReplyDeleteI'll sleep better tonight knowing you fed her. Thanks John. X
ReplyDeleteAnd soon there was another cat in the hat. Feed them and they will love you forever - kind of like some men.
ReplyDeleteUh oh, I'm afraid she's yours. But good on you!
ReplyDeleteWe have found out that if you feed one stray cat, many more will come.
ReplyDeleteMove over Albert he's gone and fed her, we all know what means.
ReplyDeleteCareful, that's how I got 4 of my 5 cats....
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've got yourself another menagerie member!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree that you seem to have acquired another mouth to feed!
ReplyDeleteA skunk came through My mom's cat flap once...That was an adventure! It's sealed shut now...
ReplyDeleteJuggling the pussy-cats - in my case three residents v misc visitors - is an awesome task, most of all when one of the former adopts clawed hostility towards the drop-ins, as my latest visitor, a shaggy near-tortie (so presumably a she), has now started sleeping in the kitchen on one of the cupboards, out of reach from its chief adversary. Nairy a dull moment!
ReplyDeleteLOL. Living large, you were! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, that little tabby knew exactly where to come for some food and love. Is she still out there this morning, or has she moved in?
ReplyDeleteRemindes me of the cats who come here often to ask for food.
ReplyDeleteI was gonna ask if he was intact down below but you answered my question. Is she with kitten do you think. We need an update please.
ReplyDeleteI think she's adopting you x

ReplyDeleteWe have a local facebook page for all pets lost and found and perhaps worth having a word with your local vet? She might be microchipped.
ReplyDeleteArilx
Looks like you have a new addition to the family. Good on you for feeding her.
ReplyDeleteYep, new family member...
ReplyDeleteI had 2 cats that I brought with me when I moved here from NY and that was sufficient. One old boy and one little sprightly girl. Then as luck would have it, upon my arrival here, my mother died. And I inherited her cat .. still in late kittenhood, hugely overweight, tiny girlish meow, as sweet as she can be and wondering where was her mama ..
ReplyDeleteIt is me now, with 3 cats, and everyone gets along perfectly well and she is as dear to me as the ones I picked out myself.
Sometimes they come to us for a reason, we have to take them in.<3
Awww, she knew here to come that's for sure. Maybe you could just keep her as an outside cat? Fix up a warm place to sleep, and keep some food outside for her.
ReplyDeleteYou're a good man John!
Oh, tabbies are wonderful. Everyone should have one! Keep us posted on whether she joins the menagerie or not. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteyou didn't let the poor thing in?
ReplyDeleteThe word has gone round the feline world that you're a soft touch.
ReplyDeleteI think you're on your way to another cat and roommate for Albert. --I would have fed her too.
ReplyDeleteHmmm....Hungry female cat yowling at the door...apparent bottomless pit.....do you think you may soon be the proud papa of kittens?
ReplyDeleteShe obviously knows this is a pet friendly house and thinks maybe I can move in what's one more.
ReplyDeleteOne of my x neighbours used to put her cat outdoors for the night I would wait until her light went out and invite the cat in for a sleepover she never knew.
People don't choose cats, cats choose people (and a houseful of dogs in your case) :-)
ReplyDeleteWell? Is she now part of the household?
