Side note.
Earlier this week I was BBQing or rather trying to. Lacey my Yellow lab was laying next to me. Colby Jack came up to Lacey and sniffed her from head to tail. Lacey gave her a slight sniff back. Next thing I know Colby Jack is snuggled up against Laceys belly. I will take that as a Absolute sign |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I've still yet to be a recipient of the CDS  Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: The cat distribution system works in mysterious ways.. Almost without fail, when I was in need or about to need a new buddy, one showed up. I've still yet to be a recipient of the CDS The Dog/Cat Distribution System ( DCDS) doesn't seem to run on a regular schedule. Throughout my life, they seemed to show up when I least expected it but needed it the most. It's one of the great mysteries of the universe... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Neighbor was chosen by a tuxedo female feral kitten that I have grown fond of. She's confusing though in that she loves to be near you but keeps her distance. I mean she runs over to you and then more or less ignores you but stays within 5 feet or so. You can scratch and rub her where she is black or anywhere from the neck up. Scratch her belly and she will bite or scratch the hell out of you. Odd cat but she's OK.

We adopted a very small Tuxedo female and didn't know she was ridden with fleas. Gave her a dawn bath with a few different flea treatments. Now on a Seresto collar which seems to be working well as they came back despite Frontline Plus treatments prior to the collar. She just now is old enough to go into her first heat and was driving everyone crazy. We had her scheduled to get fixed but no options until late July going into August  Not sure how true it is but one of my wife's coworkers said its better spay female cats after their first heat anyways than when they are kittens. We have an older cat (silver tabby) that hates the young one with a passion  Tuxedo's as we have learned as pretty spastic. Fun cats but you have to keep them entertained. Luckily we have 3 kids in the house that give her a lot of attention. |

Consider yourself lucky OP. We had 3 cats show up in January a couple years ago of which 2 turned out to be pregnant.
Now we have a herd of indoor (my shop in the winter) and outdoor (300 sq ft catio) cats besides our indoor cat and dog. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have ZERO actual idea. They way "Colby Jack" acts makes me think female and wants to steal my Chef Boyardee ravioli ;) Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Is the cat actually a "her" ? ? ? Most orange cats are male, with an estimated 80% of orange cats being male and only 20% being female. YMMV. I have ZERO actual idea. They way "Colby Jack" acts makes me think female and wants to steal my Chef Boyardee ravioli ;) Face looks male. Male v. female cat faces are usually quite distinct. Males have that longer muzzle. |

The best cat we ever had just showed up at the house one winter and would not leave me alone, just refused to leave, wanted to be pet. He was skin and bones. I set him up with a makeshift enclosed box and blankets outside, put food in it, and lo and behold he actually slept in it several nights in a row.
Then he wanted to come inside. Would just show up and be at the door. So eventually we just brought him in. He lived with us 7 years, kindly raised two abandoned feral kittens like he was their own mom, was the friendliest cat towards people and kids, and the best mouser we ever had. He would even go on walks with you like a dog and would stay by your side the whole way. The best pets choose you. |

He was my previous CDS cat, named so because he was a defect without a tail. Didn’t stop him from being excellent rodent control. Bob has been MIA for three months now, such is the life of an outdoor cat. Three weeks ago a big, long haired all white Tom started hanging around. I’ve taken to calling him Yeti. He’s since taken over Bobs old spot on the porch and is also hell on mice. The system seems to work as designed. |
