disgusting behaviour

Dennis taught Toots how to do this. It's all fun and games untill somebody falls in.

I have been trying to adopt a stray that looks just like that but it wont let me, yet. I live on the first floor while in the city and every morning there is a stray cat on my balcony, laying atop the breakfast table and taking in the sun. Why does she come back, well, I feed her ofc. :P Anyway, I can pet her but she will not come in the house. In all reality I would like to take her to our country house as she likes to roam the streets and the last thing I want to see is a kitty pancake. However, I guess trust will take time. In the meantime there will be food for her each day.

I assume that the cat was born on the street as it is not very trusting of people particularly the children around and it took nearly a month before she let me pet her. I thought we got a lot of strays in the country back home but I had never seen so many strays until moving to Alicante. There must be dozens on my street alone.

Like I said, I would like to (when the time is right) transplant the cat from here to our country home where it will have an easy life of food, play, and sleep. As well as having company everyday as in her elder years Pili's grandma lives there daily. Pili and I are at work during the late afternoon until midnight or so. Meaning the poor thing would be all alone here.

So, if ever the cat so chooses, it has a home.

I have always liked animals and have been known to take in many strays in my life but living in the city makes this harder.

BTW, what kind of cat is Toots? She/He is identical to not only the cat living on my balcony but most of the strays here. Mix of some sort....or?

It takes time. A year ago Dennis was a feral that nobody could get near, now we can handle him like a house cat.
Toots is a Tortoiseshell or tortie. And SHE is a lady. As far as breed, I think Toots and Dennis are what they call domestic short hair cats. Which mean they are mutts.
There was a time when Toots would attack Dennis when ever she saw him, But now they are good buddies.

Beautiful Kitties. The British call mutt cats Moggies.

Funny to see a Cat doing Doggie Things. After she moved to my apartment in Brooklyn, my cat started circling like my dogs would before lying down. Never did it before that, so we figure something from them rubbed off. ;)

Toots the cat is a calico, I just don't know what this Toots is. Keep your eye on the toilet, sooner or later that one will do what mine did. They refused water in a bowl I put out and insisted on drinking from the toilet. One in a while one would take a header straight in and comically slipping and sliding with paws flailing in every direction they came out, did the kitty shimmy all over the floor, looked at me sheepishly and crawled off. Hold camera at the ready for that priceless shot. One was curious about me in the shower too, after a painful rather Psychoesque experience, from then on I shooed them out of the bathroom and closed the door. BTW, that one was a stray I rescued from a 3 day sleet storm but had to chase her all over the yard in that mess to do it.

We now keep the lid down, when not in use.

After having German shepherds around the house for 30 years, these cats have neen quite a change for us.

Nice job with the cats, George. They look happy.

They had a device at the San Diego CAT SHOW last week where U can train your cat to use the POOT POOT seat instead of a litter box. IT starts out with some litter on the seat holder, and then after awhile, U take that piece out and the cat just squats and does what a cat has to do. HOWEVER, U wouldn't want the cat to use it as a drinking fountain if they learn to do this. Also, it is probably tough to teach the cat to FLUSH!
