Are bob and momma trying to get me away from roxy!!

Ok i honeslty dont know what else it could be..So bob has now become just as talkative as momma and they also have been leaving dead birds by the bowls where i feed em(i was told that is there way of saying hey we love you and you feed us we want to feed you)but now after i feed them ,pet them,and hang out for a little bit with them,i will be in the house and i will here momma especially just meowing and meowing so i will go to the door and look and there they both are just staring at me,so i will go outside and they will keep meowing as they are walking towards the grass area where i feed em,i just dont know what else they want,they just ate,so i am trying to figure out what they are trying to tell me,any ideas??And sometimes they will reach up in window and i will hold roxy so they can look at each other.

Hey Heidiho! I dont think that they want to take Roxy away....I think they want to join Roxy! Hmmm...??

:laughing:

Cindy

LOL, they might be saying, "Hey let's see if we can get into those cool digs like Roxy."

Oh believe me i feel guilt everyday when i see them sitting side by side just looking up in the window at me,then they see roxy in there and it really makes me feel like crap that they cant come in,that is why i was thinking they are crying to get me outside,cause when i open the door AFTER they have already been fed,they dont try to come in it is like they are trying to get me out,if i had the funds i would take em both and get them cleaned up get their shots and flea stuff so they could come hang out with us inside,but i just dont,and dont know if roxy would be cool with that,but she sure does like looking at them to..Ahhhhhhh!! How did this happen....I love em so much,but my personality makes me feel alot of guilt that they have to live out there

Well, I can understand not having the funds, as I myself am finding keeping mine above water difficult these days. Hopefully at some point you can get them all vaccinated and flea treated and you can bring them indoors.

I can also understand feeling guilty, I would too, but don't beat yourself up about it. When you can get things done you will.

Aww Heidi,don't feel guilty,at least these two sweeties have full bellies thank's to you and you are in Hawaii,no cold winters,I am sure they'll be fine.
Ideally it would be great if you could afford to take care of them properly,especially having the female spayed,that would be my goal,also to have the male neutered.
But first the girl,so she will not have any more unwanted kittens.
They have probably lived outside all their lives and chances are they would not want to live inside,they just want to check out the house where Roxy lives.:cat:

You know,i know it ,you know it,i just wish there was a way to let them know it.I tried to clean out her ears the other day(she is such a sweet good cat)and she sat still for a little bit to let me do it,but not to long.And when i was done bob came up to her and started cleaning her,man they really love each other.I wouldnt even attempt to do his,he would never stand for it.I have a thread here will try to find of them to..I think you are to new to have seen it.Will try to find and revive.

Here they are,and the one with them looking in window,is starting to make me feel bad that they cant come in.

They're so beautiful! And they are quite healthy looking. At least you have a safe place for them to live.

That is one thing i dont get is how do they learn NOT to get hit by a car,like they have been there since we moved in almost a year ago,and i see her cross the road or she will lay in the road by our door,and thank god it never has happend,but how do some avoid it and some dont??Yeah they dont go hungry,get picky though,people that live upstairs were throwing them some chicken the other day,so yesterday i look out window and they are both sitting in driveway looking up,i actaully found myself a little jealous,so today i am gonna get them a can of tuna fish for a treat.Momma will eat anything but bob is getting a little picky.We did discuss if we ever moved into a house they will be coming with us,but as the cheapest houses here are about 600000 that wont be soon.

Oh, I have seen that property over there is quite expensive. I hope you get your house and take your kitties with you.

aw, the kitties are gorgeous. you're doing all you can for them and i'm sure they appreciate anything they get. =)

does hawaii's summer's get hot? i've never been there, but i know it gets in the 115's here in phoenix.

How funny,that is where i moved here from,hell yeah,like right now,and we have no ac in our place except in bedroom,and i am used to central ac,that is the ONLY thing i miss,it gets very very humid and if the tradewinds are not blowing man you cook.I still have not adjusted to it,so if anyone ever needs a bday gift idea for me ,i will take an AIR CONDITIONER.:laughing:

I know i am really just nuts,but man just lookin out my window and seeing them lay there,having to look around when they eat every second,and just the hard life they live breaks my heart that i cant do more for them,like i would love for them to come in and take a snooze without worrying about anything you know.I am completley attached to them.I even try to go straight home from work cause i know they are laying in the bushes waiting for my car to pull up,now that is a sick woman,anyone else here do nutty crap like revolve your schedule around feral cats you take care of,then if i go hang out with thme i hear roxy crying,so then i feel bad roxy cant come outside.ahhhhhh it is nutty,

aw, at least now there's a beach? i would def trade phoenix for hawaii anyday or alaska. =)



my family has often gone out of our way for strays. all of our cats have been strays. even our cats picked up the habit of bringing home strays. =) Tiger found himself a girlfriend last summer and she'd follow him in through the doggie door and sleep next to him, eat his food, and ended up having kittens in our house (tiger's neutered).

Can you write out their story and distribute it around to some of the vet offices? Maybe someone would be able to take them or at least be interested in trying to help them get fixed.

Heidi,I can understand how you feel:sad: and although I would be all for capturing stray cats,I don't think it would be the best solution for these 2 cats.
Spay/neuter yes,but returned to their regular life after,a life they are used to and share with good people like you.
At a shelter they would undoubtedly suffer and be split up:sad:
As for cars,feral cats become streetsmart,but of course thousands end up under the wheels of cars every day.
We think these 2 are suffering,but I honestly don't think they are,they have each other and people who care,they are much better off than cats here who live on the mean streets of the cities.
So,don't worry so much,the only thing needing done is spay/neuter...

I agree with Chico2.
They're beautiful cats and they're very lucky to have you around to feed them. If at some point you can afford to have them vetted and let them in and out of your house, so be it. In the meantime, enjoy them, they seem to be enjoying you. :)

I thought i have mentioned that before,they both ARE spayed and neutered they are brother and sister,and man they do really love each other,i think you are right to chico i dont believe they would ever want to stay inside for any long periods of time,and maybe someday i can get them to vet and get shots so they can come insdie and meet roxy,that will be scary,but fun if they got along.The one thing i dont know how to do is turn off the guilt,people always say i should do volunteer work at shelter and stuff but i did try it years ago,and i just dont know how people do it,it is to heartbreakin for me and it just makes me upset that i cant save em all,which i know is ridicoulous nobody can.I guess i need to quit that way of thinking..And now another said event which i will post on roxys brothers thread.

Heidi,sorry,I must have forgotten they are s/n,that's great!!!
I think everyone involved with animals,will at one time or the other feel guilt,not knowing if you could help more,or do things differently,but we do what we can..
Just caring about these 2 beautiful cats and feeding them,you probably have saved their lives,so instead of feeling guilt,you should be proud of yourself.

I have this thing about not looking at good,i dwell on what i CANT do,and it i think is some kind of sickness thing,because i will sit here and just picture him totally confused as to where he is,what is going on and if i should of left him to live outside,still waiting for them to call me back.I dont know how you guys that rescue do it,i consider myself a nut when it comes to how much i care about and love animals,but i know i could never be a vet or anything where there is a sad side to it,i dont know how NOT to care as much,or whatever you would call it.But you guys make me realize that you do what you can and you are NOT a bad person cause you cant save em all.

I have a big stray who adopted me quite a few years back now. I do get him his shots and I do let him in the house, but he hates all but 1 of my 3 indoor cats so he comes in and has his own apartment in the basement. Can't get him to come in until it starts getting cold outside....you won't have to worry about that :laughing: I know he would never be happy as an indoor cat and I accept it. But I worry about him when he isn't there to greet me when I pull in the driveway after work, and if he's not there when I go to feed him at 4:30 in the morning before I leave for work. It's always a worry when they're outdoors. I have a couple of houses outside for him for bad weather, about 3 feet off the ground and with down blankets in them :rolleyes: . So feeding them and keeping them as comfortable as possible keeps them close to home and away from a lot of trouble. You can have some peace with that.

Cindy

I know that feeling,when i pull up as soon as i get in my parking spot i look in rearview if i dont see them coming out of the bushes i get really worried,because like clock work they are there as soon as i pull up.
