His “surgery” went fine. I think the vet forgot to tell him that he might need to take it easy. They instructed me to give him a little bit of food around 7 p.m. so I put his food bowl on top of the fridge. I was knitting and heard a noise, turned around and Boots had gotten on the counter and then on the fridge and had eaten the food that was in the bowl. I had a bag of dry food for Speck on the cutting table and I thought it was zipped close but next thing I heard, he had gotten inside that bag and was eating Speck’s food.
Boots
He’s been playing with his catnip filled banana but I think he was just about ready for a nap by the time I got the camera.
Then he found Speck’s bone.
Boots
If it keeps him quiet and stops him from climbing the walls for a while, he’s more than welcome to play with it. It’s time to get dinner finished so I guess I’ll stick Boots in the crate and leave him in the sewing room where it’s cool and then I’ll hang out in the sewing room with him after dinner. This is almost like having a real baby around!
Janet says
Hi Judy-I’m glad he’s fine. Just like a real baby, he will grow up very fast, and spend most of his years laying around like a lump on a log. Ya gotta admit, he’s a lot cuter than a chicken!

Glad to hear he came through like the champ he is. I am enjoying your kitty from afar – I am more of a dog person myself, but can totally see why you fell for him. I think I would have too. So, how’s mean chicken doing with her babies? Has she gotten nicer since she had some babies? I wondered about that….

Boots seems to be undaunted by his surgery! What a funny cat. I love cats for just the reasons you spoke about here.

These little scamps can get into more trouble. Right now I have a “cat bird” Ok so its a half grown kitten that has decided to live in the tree outside our front door. The little scamp will meow and meow and I have coaxed it out of the tree for some food. Then up the tree it goes again. It rained yesterday and I figured it would run for shelter somewhere. WRONG. after it quit raining I called for it and it came down for some food. Soaking wet. Go figure. It will run if anyone else is around,but will come to me now. If I can get it tame will try to find a home for it. I do not need another mouth to feed. So it goes. I think they must have our house marked as “suckers live here”. “free food and water” — ha.

Boots was likely very proud of himself for winning the find the food game you were playing. He is adorable!
LadyBaltimore says
I agree, I think Boots is adorable!

Glad Boots came through the surgery fine and is just having fun ..
Mel Meister says
I’m sorry! I’m laughing so hard right now just imagining him getting on top of the fridge and then eating Speck’s food. Cats are pigs! ROFL!

Glad Boots came through his surgery fine!
I’m just about heading into trouble. Currently I have 4 kitties – but as of Sunday it will be 5 – and will be adopting (AFAIK) a 10-yr old sweetie named Jenny who should fit in fine here. Her current mom will be having surgery and can no longer care for her so Jenny will be joining my family – with visitation rights by former mom and pop.

Boots is too cute! Have you seen the YouTube video of the cat in the shark costume riding on the vacuum cleaning the kitchen? It is too cute!
Dawn says
Boots is so darned cute! and probably used to fighting for his food so when he sees some, it is first dibs. LOL we have two cats that were feral and the one is so protective of his food. the other one realizes she gets fed and doesn’t have to fight. glad his surgery went well. he is a cute little tyke!

You just can’t keep a feisty kitty down.
