Cats in drawers

[frightened.livejournal.com]

My parents' TV is on top of a little chest of drawers, with the bottom drawer missing. Day before my sixteenth birthday, we got two kittens, the survivors of a feral litter who all got feline influenza. Next morning, my mum and brother have gone away for the weekend, and me and my dad cannot find the kittens anywhere. I'm accusing him of hiding them, cos it's the sort of thing he'd do, ignoring the fact you can't really hide a feral kitten that doesn't want to be hid. We've looked in all the sensible places, and now we're looking in places like the fridge and a pressure cooker that's had the lid locked on for the past year. Eventually one of us starts going through the chest of drawers, and there they are, curled up asleep in the top one. They must've climbed up the back looking for somewhere safe to hide.

(One grew out of her habit, and now likes to be on the highest point in the room. The other still squeezes himself into the tiniest, most inaccessible place he can, especially if there's strangers in the house. They're ten now, and bar a missing eye and a minor heart murmur, doing just fine. That's the girl cat in my icon, glaring at me from the shed roof.)

That sounds just about right. T (short for Tilak) was my Grams cat. She once got into the drawer of depends and was in there for hours before she meowed when she heard the kitty treat bag.

We have a feral cat who is now 9. She was littered in our basement (when we lived in NH). All 5 other kittens were acclimated to us, and easily adoptable, but Gopal hid in the walls and it was more then 3mo before we caught her. We had no problems with her or how she interacted with other cats. Then she turned five, she started to spray EVERYTHING. Turns out for some reason she suddenly got nervous. She now lives in her own room with a screen-door so she see out and climb it, she has a sailor day-bed, large picture window (with bright colored curtains), a wall A/C, 4 antique trunks, 2 bookshelves, 8 blankets that she rearranges to her liking, a bunch of toys and basically anything she wants. Strangely she is not the most spoiled of our cats, just the most pampered. I think most spoiled goes to Tux *see icon*
