Siamese castaway

Right after I laid down heard a big bang. Garfield was sleeping on the swing. Apparently a Siamese cat came along and he jumped down and made it swing into the house. Garfield is pretty hefty.
Went outside and thought at first I saw a light colored fox. Big ears and tail. It was a blue point Siamese about half the size of Garfield and maybe a year old. We had one once registered ,expensive cat. Darn thing chewed the ends of a rocker to a mess and other mischief. Too much wild in him to play long. About like a juvenile Raccoon.
It is a pretty chocolate and grey and blue eyes. I need another cat like another lump on the head. Someone abandoned it somewhere near us and it is around the house. Won't let me get too close before running into the woods but it will sit at a distance and watch and listen.
I've been sorta hoping someone would abandon a good pup for a companion to Dakota but not another cat.
The hawks have been around for a week or so now. The big ones and the Falcons won't be far behind, or maybe already here but, I haven't seen them. Want to see that pretty Falcon again. They may get them a cat or the big ole hooty owl I've been hearing or the coyotes. So I guess it will be two small fiberglass dog houses on the rear porch and bells on two cats this winter, If I can figure how to keep them from pulling them off.

  • I tried catching a cat in a live trap and no matter what I put in there up to and including the most stinky can food He wouldn't go in. He'd circle but never go in for it.

    Here's a tip for you that DNR told me about that 'never' fails.

    Fish Heads!!!

    Go to your local store and get a couple of fresh fish heads. Something about them that NO animal can resist. Been using them ever since and what ever I want to catch gets caught.
  • Haven't hear any commotion tonight. Later last night I went to the door and there was a feline screech. Not sure if it was Garfield or the other cat. Must be a Tom. Thinking about setting the live trap. Nearest neighbor is about half mile away maybe but it is not uncommon for cats to go a lot longer ways than that. It's not his.
  • Well one good thing about you catching him and saving him from being Coyote meat is he probably will be micro chipped.

    Not to many cat owners leave Siamese cats out to roam at night. He probably is a lost cat someone is looking for! :W
