The Kitty Daddy

The little black cat is getting spayed this Friday, which can't come too quickly for me. Her "boyfriend", a large fluffy orange and white cat, has been hanging around enough that I'm starting to feel like the proverbial roommate whose housemate has an annoying boyfriend who is always staying over being a nuisance. He yodels and chirps endlessly at her, even when she's curled up, trying to sleep. He eats her food. He pees on the furniture. He keeps looking at me with wide eyes, amazed again and again that I'm not fond of him and keep running him off the porch. She mostly ignores him, but sometimes she sets up wailing, calling him to come get some food. Today she nabbed a wren right off the railing right before my eyes, and yowled repeatedly around her mouthful of prey until he showed up; they then disappeared into the bushes to eat it.

If the spaying doesn't do the trick, moving surely will!

Heh. Watch out, she might just get pregnant before - that happened to a friend's cat, to the surprise of the vet.

Oh, I wouldn't be surprised if he's already impregnated her. She's still getting the surgery - it's not good for her to have two litters so close together, and our new place only allows a single pet.

If she had been my cat from the start, rather than a stray I've adopted, she'd have been spayed as soon as she was old enough, and before she went into heat. But it's too late for that. :/

I'm sorry to hear you're having to deal with the boyfriend, but congrats on getting a kitty, finally.
