we had a mouse/rat problem at the condo...
poop, damaged soft goods...
picked up 3 poor shape kittens.
fed them, played with them... kept them outdoors.
the female disappeared...
the 2 males continued to get bigger... they played together and fought each other in an aggressive but playful manner...
they would catch mice, rats, squirrels, lizards, frogs, chipmunks...
occasionally they would leave a frog head at the door.
i'd catch them a bream and they'd fight for it... no sharing... they would leap nearly waste high to get the fish before I could get it off the hook.
then they would start disappearing for a week at a time... usually taking turns... one would leave... then return and fight, not friendly any more the other cat...
the larger and more aggressive of the males finally started a fight he couldn't win... the smaller had been the one that got the fish each day!
he wasn't the alpha cat any longer and he's been gone now for a month...
the remaining cat, leaves for a few days but returns.
something got a hold of remaining cat... hole in head behind ear. I think I saw hole in skull. hole in a leg. walked on 3 legs. wouldn't let me tend to him.
I thought he was a goner... but no money for cat doctor..
prayed. serious prayer. cat got up and walked around! still acting drunk. (hole in head!) he acted sluggish another day. then 90% for a week.
I wish I knew what kind of critter got a hold of cat..
we've got fox, coyote, coons, dogs in community, but dogs stay away..
cat appears healed... nickel sized white spot on head with no hair! smaller hairless spot on leg.
cat is measurably more friendly.
he aggravates ducks, but knows they are on the good guy list... makes me wonder if he decided to defend ducks... ducks have short life span around here.
critters love ducks.
cat is back to stalking birds, chipmunks, etc...
i'd recommend you get a cat!
