Where is Rory?

Good result soop

That's because you tamed him soop . Or he tamed you!

Yep! Rory the bolshie Tom, is making up for having fasted, whilst in pursuit of lurve. We're convinced that the sweet ginger kit, spotted outside our home, and on three occasions about a mile away, is a result of his shenanigans. The nice man from the cat protection league, warned us that a new brood was likely to "turn up." Trapping his last wifelet and two kits was extremely stressful for us [and them]. Bags was given a blow by blow account of the ordeal. The vet sterilised all three and they were duly returned to the forest just beyond our back door. Mother and one kit [the other has vanished] call on us regularly, usually after sunset, when they enjoy a nourishing meal. So, Rory has been out and about and has found a new mate. No matter how awkward he is to trap, we shall need to bite the bullet over the winter. We shall then rename him - Rory Gonaballs. As much as we love him, he and his tribe cost us a pretty penny or two. If and when the new wee cottage is built, we shall take Rory with us. Funny, isn't it, that a homeless moggy has wheedled his way into our affections, and is now considered to be "one of the family"...

I think it was all the virtual vibes being sent to rory that made him turn up ...and hunger ,has probably been doing what un neutered toms do good news Soopxxx

Purrrrfect

Yes, very happy for you, soop!

soop all's well that ends well xx

Soop, I`m SO pleased that Rory`s turned up safe and sound, I`m sending him a virtual hug!

soop I read your post earlier. I am so glad Rory has returned safe and sound. Purrrrrrr relief.

soop is that Rory the 'bloshie cat' who has been AWOL? I'm glad he's returned safe and sound. Wonder where he went? Cats are mysterious beings, aren't they? I would love to have another cat to live with me, but like the predictability of knowing where my pets are (in the dog's case, it's usually lying in her basket snoring, with her legs in the air!)

shysal our village is three miles away. Otherwise, we're surrounded by woodland on one side, and the sea on the other. jeni those symbols sum up my mood. Time to wish you lot a peaceful Sunday evening. I'm off for and a long read of the paper...after which, Mr soop has a new house plan to share with me. At six sharp, I shall enjoy my Sunday G&T. Bye for now. Crescent moon.

Now everyone can relax

Rory's at home
Alls well with the world

That is great news Soop, I had a feeling that would happen. Two of my cats do that to me all the time, but it doesn't stop me worrying.For one of them it is over a week before she returns for a week then is off again. I think she has a home in the next village. Occasionally she returns after 2 days and I wonder whether the 'other' family is on holiday. There is nothing like the good night's sleep I get when I know I have a full house of cats!
I used to put 'lost' notices around the village, which would guarantee that the offender would immediately stroll in as if nothing has happened! I suspect posting on GN had the same result with Rory.

Have just made sure that he's comfortable. He has polished off a double helping of chicken and licked the dish clean. He's curled up on his bed, in his apartment. Just knowing that he's back at long last, has made me soooooooo happy.

soop so so pleased Rory is back safely in his apartment.

Oh soop! I'm so pleased!!

And, yes, Grannyknot The Lady magazine featured James Bowen and Bob, about two months ago. What a marvellous turn around in fortune for both man and creature.

YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE THIS but I looked through the kitchen window five minutes ago, and Rory was sitting on the bin lid, gazing straight into my eyes! Mr soop has come down from the loft. We've given him a whole lot of fuss and he's now in his apartment, tucking into chicken [lots of it] We are so happy. We keep repeating...isn't it lovely that Rory's come home. Isn't that daft?

I also like The Little Prince. Soop I hope Rory comes back to this apartment, in the meanwhile have a little treat from James Bowen and his friend "A Street Cat Named Bob" www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdAFjB7AeYA

It's a lovely one to read to grandchildren soop, or give to slightly older ones to read themselves.

I do hope Rory is picking up all the positive thoughts coming his way

I shall try to buy it online. Thank you very much.

nightowl...it's going into my personal favourite quotations and verses book.

I'm so glad you like it soop. The book is full of moving quotations. It's the best book about love and what is important in life that I have ever come across. I can't read it without crying.

nightowl I'm going to copy the quotation. It's very moving.

Oh soop that reminded me of a quote from my favourite children's book of all time - The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupery

“To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world"

I do hope Rory comes home
