We're seeking kittens: preferably a little older, but not grown, to live outside and help our 4-year-old ginger manx Weasley to keep the gopher population at bay.
As I mentioned earlier, Weasley and Harry Potter are our surviving outdoor kitties, but Harry is the lone ranger and wanders who knows where during the day, usually coming home in the evening to scarf down cat food and get loved on and petted. Like his namesake, he's independent and just a little unpredictable.
Weasley is an affable polydactyl cat who is very lonely since his other outside friends have died or disappeared. He sticks close to home but loves to hunt around the property and seldom ventures very far. We're set back off the road, which isn't a main one anyway, and there are interesting hollows and trees to explore, as well as a garden (he likes to hang out under big leaves on cool, moist dirt during hot days). He and Harry get along, but Harry is too independent to be a buddy.
So.
We'd like two or three kittens, preferably around 4-6 months old, with short hair only....any color, any sex. We had two long-haired kitties outside -- Hermione and Muggle -- and the burrs and star thistle does terrible things to their fur and skin, and I spent hours combing and brushing and cutting out matted clumps. Never again.
We treat our outside kitties as pets -- they're named, they are neutered or spayed, they get routine vet care and shots, and lots and lots of petting and loving. They have warm, dry houses to sleep in, plenty of good cat food, occasional treats. and fresh water is always available.
Weasley is waiting. Please e-mail me at oldmuse@yahoo.com
