Funny pet stories!

Not so much a funny story but a nice one all the same:A ferrule cat came nosing around my house. A wild one, wouldn't come anywhere near me. Bit by bit, using prime sliced ham, I could get her to eat out of my hand if she was on the shed roof and I had to stretch up to reach her. But no closer. I hadn't seen here for about a week until on day in my shed, I noticed 2 pairs of eyes peering out from under the jungle of stuff there. Kittens: 3 of em.They were wild too and whilst I could come close when they were eating food and swing something on a string with which they would play with, as soon as they realised I was on the other end of it they'd scatter. Picking one up resulted in scrapes and scratches. Mommy, due to concern arrived at ground level but still wouldn't come any closer than about 15 feet. A phone call to the cat shelter told me that the kittens weren't wanted. Too many domestic cats available and if the kittens weren't domesticated within a few weeks, then wild they would remain. 4 weeks in and they were wild as hell. Put down they would have to be.The dreaded day for visiting the vet arrived. Starvation for a day by locking them all in the shed got the kittens into the wash basket and the mother into a cat-box fairly easily. Tear flowing, I brought them all to the vet. "Put down the kittens, neuter the mother". The vet thought otherwise. "You must have been around them a bit - they're not so wild - I reckon I can get homes for them (which she did)".I collected the mother later, brought her home groggy from the op, set the cat-box at the open back door and retreated to the couch, so as not to terrify her and cause her to bolt and maybe rupture stitches. Out she came, a bit unsteadily. Took a pace or two into the yard, looked back at me on the couch, turned around, walked gingerly over to the couch, jumped on on it and went to sleep in my lap.And so I became a cat-owner

Yup. I wasn't partial to cats before that - we'd always had dogs - and I always thought cats were unfriendly creatures. But a dog was out of the question as it would require a level of attention that wasn't possible. God being God, he came up with one of his typically classy and stylish solutions. "Iano could do with pet, so lets give him a suitable one and lets make it so that he can get to find out about cats without him realising that that is what's going on. Once he becomes attached to it, he'll see that it's as friendly and loyal as a dog. And why not let it chose him rather than the other way around!!"Great site by the way (though prepare for some resistance to your 'asserions' here)
