Cry baby.
Toilet trained!
Soon after my last post I saw something out of the corner of my eye which looked a lot like a cat outside. I then thought it must have been a bird (I often have Indian Miners outside my office). A few minutes later I saw a small cream coloured cat sprint for it’s life across the backyard. It was really windy out (looked like a storm was about to hit) I got some shoes on and went out to see if I could find him/her but I couldn’t see it anywhere. I sat inside looking out for a while then spotted him climbing over the next door neighbours fence back into my backyard. I went out and tried calling the cat over but it refused to move. I ran back inside to grab a jacket at the weather was getting worse out and after some time I managed to get pretty close to him. He sniffed my hand and cried a little then he bolted again. I went back in and came out with a bowl of kitten food (pretty smelly stuff I thought). This time I managed to get him to play with a twig and soon after he spotted the food and started chowing down. He let me pat his head and I grabbed him by the neck and got him inside.
Christina got home just as I got him inside and we set up the laundry with a bed, some food, water and a litter tray which he went straight for. Perfectly toilet trained little guy! He ate the rest of his food too. He looks like a pure-bred burmese and he was super affectionate (but a bit smelly).
The next morning I took him to the local vet and sure enough he was micro-chipped and de-sexed. His name is Ringo. I’m sure his owners are going to be really happy when they get the call from the vet :)
