:D Remember the post I made awhile back about the cat having kittens in my car?

And her basically being wild?

Well after 3 days of driving her and her brood around, one day I got into my car to go to work and she and the kittens were gone.

I don't know where she moved them too, but I fear they came to a bad end since I have seen her around but not the kittens. 🙁

HOWEVER, I still saw her and some of her running buddies around the neighbor hood but they would never give me the time of day.

I was just out taking a ride around my neighborhood and when I got back her and 3 of her pals were in my driveway hiding under my truck. I bend down and after a little coxing I was able to get this old Tom Cat to come over to me for some Love'n. After a few minutes of scratching his head and rubbing his tummy the Momma cat came over to me for some too. 🙂

I'm still working on gaining the other two kitties trust, but I'm making progress.

I just gave them the last of the food I got for the dogie before he passed and it looks like I'm on the road to making some new friends. 😀

The last time I caught a feral cat sneaking in my car it was using it as a urinal. :|

Me too....and it was it's last piss on the way to kitty heaven. I can tell you miss your buddy but are you sure you want to start with cats? The Tom is probably the best bet since they make great cats.
 
right on! This sounds like just what you need for a while, give yourself some time before getting a new dog🙂

Actually he got along GREAT with cats.
I wish I had gotten some pics, some old roommates back in the day had this little kitten and it would curl up next to Brutus and sleep. That kitten LOVED him. He tolerated the kitten. 😉

Never once in his life did he chase cats. (Not allowed for ONE thing)

Now SQUIRRELS, that was another story.

He actually caught a baby squirrel one time, but he didn't harm a hair on it's head.

He really was a great dog.

Tearing up again....
 
every cat ive ever owned except for my first one (28 in total) have come from being cats off the street [either being the cat i found; or the cat i found had kittens] around my town and such.

its sad, but perhaps kittens met the demise of a town tomcat?

" A tom cat will normally establish a territory which contains a number of females or female groups, and it is in his own interest to repel other males and to destroy kittens which may have been fathered by another male and which contain the genetic complement of his rival. This is true of many social animals, relatively few of whom will expend their own energies in raising the offspring of another male.

How do males know who has fathered the kittens? Cats rely greatly on scent and scent markings to determine who is present in their territory and who has visited that territory. If a tom smells the scent of a rival tomcat he may decide that the kittens belonging to his 'harem' have been fathered by the visiting tomcat. This is not in his own genetic interests. Consequently he may kill those kittens. This has two purposes. Firstly it ensures that his queens do not raise kittens fathered by a rival male. Secondly, the queens will usually come on oestrus within a few days and he can be sure of mating them so that subsequent kittens are his."
