Meet Clyde

[Frecs]

I have learned that there is a very good reason why barns have resident cats. I don't have a "barn" but I do have animal feed which apparently is an calling card for mice.

So, down to the county "Animal Protected Services" shelter to interview potential barn cats. Here is the winning application for the job:


And, yes, that is a nestbox in the background! I need to keep Clyde penned for a few days to acclimate him and I could not get the pet carrier to fit nicely with room for the litterbox so...I am using a nestbox as his bed.

He is a very sweet and very big boy! (neutered!)

AAAAWWWWWWWWW how sweet,he looks like my girl

 

[CochinBrahmaLover]

Is he friendly, or was he born as a barn cat / caught as one? He's very pretty!
Soon you'll have be picking them up daily... :cats-bed: :cat-hug: :cat-rub: :catlady:

 

[AmysMacdog]

Awwww He looks like a sweety! He's a pretty kitty! :congratulations: :cat-rub:

 

[Marinea]

Well, hello Clyde!

*shakes paw*

Now...get to work!

 

[MamaSheepdog]

He's very handsome!

My cats love sleeping in nestboxes, so I am sure he will be quite content.

I hope he enjoys his new job!

I'm honestly not sure if he was a relinquish or a feral pick-up. They said he had been at the shelter for awhile. She (the volunteer who was doing a major sales pitch for Clyde) said that "he would be a very good mouser and is very in control of himself." He does seem to be a very gentlemanly cat. Let's hope she is right about his mousing skills!

He seems to be enjoying the nestbox very much. <br /><br />__________ Mon Nov 11, 2013 8:04 am __________<br /><br />

I sure hope so!!

He is a handsome fellow, isn't he?

I hope he works out well for you... He'll be a lot happier being your extermination agent than he was at the shelter. Marilla sends him a friendly purr. :roll:

My boys would be smitten. They have a thing for tabby cats. I hope he does the job for you nicely.

He has my vote - I think Brown Tabby cats are the best

 

[Kyle@theWintertime]

He's a handsome fellow!!!
