I was told it was a fledgling Tawny owl.Quote:

I still hear them sometimes. The old classic owl sound.
What happened to him?
I popped him in a box with some water and minced beef for a rest.
In the evening, I took him into the woods in my garden, and placed him as high as I could in a tree.
I then walked away, and as I turned round, I saw him fly off. :)
This is one of our near neighbours cat. Isn't she cute! Spends more time in our house than in does at its place.

These are my three of five!
Pixie, small girl who lived in a bush after being abandoned by her Mother. She's very sweet but very timid

Her borther Roger, the cat formerly known has Ginger Rogers, originally known as Little Ginge! He's reinvented himself more times than Madonna.

And finally, Shadow - their younger Uncle! So called because for 2 months he was just a blur as he scarpered away from the food on site of humans. Shadow is ahem special - he has many extra toes and he's as mad as a hatter, next for the vets.

We moved onto a small holding last summer and the farm cats came with the package, we lost some kittens to foxes and one of the toms moved on, so I'm left working through neutering and taming these remaining three, they've literally torn my hands to shreds but I've had good success, all three settled into the boot room together. Unfortunately their mother's are now in their 20's, they're both pretty feral e.g. can't touch/get within a metre of them and we doubt they would survive trapping, visit to vets and recovery time in captivity. So I've committed to keeping on dealing with their offspring.
So, does this make me the cat lady of AOS?
Shadow is beaut! Is he really polydactyl?
Yes he most definitely is, as is his Mother. He's still very skittish so I have struggled to count them up, he never sits still. He has 5 toes on each paw at the back and 7 or 8 on each at the front, it looks like he's wearing mittens.
He's learning to interact with me, so treats me to playful swipes and biting it's quite alarming when he flexes his claws.
I love their faces. So much expression!Quote:
