Alley cats no longer. Now they have their own real estate and are ready for dinner
February 242010
These outdoor cats are all rescue cats, either from injuries on busy streets or homeless and starving. . They now have their own real estate, and stay in their own fenced in area. The 3 gray cats and the calico I have had for 14 years, and since they were kittens. The close up of the one white cat is the last rescue. I got him this spring, and his eye was blood red from either an injury or animal abuse. He was very wild and you couldn’t get within 20 ft of him at first , and now you can pet him and he is more laid back. His eye has healed, but he is blind in one eye, and doesn’t see too well out of the other. He is scheduled to be neutered this fall. All rescued cats are neutered and spayed. The big black cat is Bogie, and he is a cross eyed cat. The cat house I built about 12 years ago. It has standard wall thickness similar to a house, heavily insulated with a thermopane window, 3 floors inside, and the interior has birch paneling. It is electrically heated with a thermostatically controlled baseboard heater. It is about 5ft wide 7 ft tall and 3 ft deep. It has a pet door entry under the little front porch. It has two balconies on the back, one closed in with plastic for cold rainy days, and the other more open with a concrete floor. I made it to look like a small cottage with wood siding. The large door in the front I wanted concealed, and you cannot tell it it is there when looking at the front of the house. I made this so I could clean and sweep it out inside. The house is very efficiently heated and stays 70 degrees in zero degree weather, and costs very little to heat. The cats stay in their heated house during the winter when the temperature is below 35. The huge Wisteria vine surrounding the house is about 10 ft tall and 25 ft long. It has a cat walk and places for them to sleep up high in the summer. The second part of the video is the puppies I found freezing in the snow in the middle of a busy street two years ago. Someone had just dumped them there. I had them about two weeks and found them good homes. After all they had been through they did adapt well to their temporary little house and also to the cats. They were really cute friendly puppies, and would grow to be large dogs. . That was the same year I found the other white cat, named Tommy pictured with the puppies He looks a little rough in that video, and had a rough life,but looks just fine today. I call all of these cats pile ons, as soon as you sit down outside they find you, and at least 3 of them try to get on your lap at the same time.

Food will keep anything around
There’s 2 cats in the hood here.
I had an indoor cat, a Black Persian named Velvet. She was a sweetie. And like most Persians loyal to me yet did not like too many others.
My family always had cats.

I don’t like to see them catch birds either, even though it is their nature. I have some song birds in the area that I really enjoy. I have more trouble with kids and BB guns than cats. These cats have not caught any birds at all for the last two years, but they are also well fed. I have a 6 to 8 ft fence, and they could go outside the area anytime but they seldom do.
