We have 2 cats, both of them are lovely but Toast the ginger tomcat has been getting a little aggressive lately. For the past 3 years he has been living a hedonistic life, fathering many illegitimate kittens in the neighborhood, and being king of the local Cat fightclub.
His howling in the middle of the night was also getting quite annoying.
When we originally got him we thought it was a girl, .. but it soon became apparent by his John Wayne walk that he was supporting something more substantial down there.
The day has arrived therefore that Toast has to go to the vet to have his toonies snipped.
Below is a picture of innocent Toast at about 6 months old, .. he's still a kitten and has not been corrupted in the ways of the nightlife and partying world.
Two years later, ... staying out late with floozies getting up to no good. Coming home in a stupor, and then sleeping all day. This was him last week.
It was a bit embarrassing when we had guests around.
You can see the stark difference from innocence to his Snoop Dogg on tour type existence.
Things had gone far enough really when the female cats started hanging around our garden waiting for him to reappear from our home.
Below is Toast this morning, ... I managed to grab him and shove him in the carry box before he sliced into me.
next stop, .. the vet.
no picture of that but this is Toast, now without his beans, . .back from the vet.
he had a neck collar on but he ripped it off.
I get the feeling he's not happy with me.
best wishes from big beans Goblin. :-)
Ha! There you are! I came to stalk your post, but there was not, except you clipping your kitty. Talk about an owie.
You upvote me and then don't post? How does one show love?
Just flying by to say hello!
thanks! @dswigle, ... I really should start posting again, .. but I'm waiting for Hive to reach $5, .. just kidding, .. I'm a lazy %$£!* and I didn't stick with it... thanks for your encouragement... you should read my post about the goat.
Ha! I will now! You should start posting again! You will help it reach $5 with your participation! I keep reading all about you, thanks to your friend... then I come over to a two-year-old dead end! LOL
We are all lazy. One a week to keep your hand in it won't kill you. I promise! It might be fun to see how different/same the two of you see things.
@goblinknackers
Besides, the payout is so much bigger now. ;)
About time you showed your face again man! I noticed the vote you gave me, and since @slobberchops told me you were away and using automatic votes, that means that one you gave me was manual so, glad to have you around again.
I'm a dog person, but cats are something special and I love them as well. Also toast is a hilarious name, did you came up with it or who did?
I will have to kick him or he won't see this, his levels of apathy are now in the stratosphere (@goblinknackers).
Damn and here I was thinking he was coming out of his lethargic state after so much party in Poland :P
Bangkok mate! That was the year before.
He keeps going on about the next 'fest', and was looking forward to Cancun (that was the rumour at the time). I don't know if there will ever be another. The world has changed since November 2019.
I actually wanted to edit my comment but after thinking if it was Poland or Thailand I couldn't remember. I remember I met you on both, but yeah you're right, first time we met your wife tagged along, second trip it was Goblin who tagged along.
I've been thinkiing about that also, there's gotta be another one, the community craves for one. Hopefully this year is the year. Big hugs amigo, I hope you are doing amazing!
hey @anomadsoul, .. sorry man @slobberchops is right my apathy level is way down or up (basically shit at comments and replying), ... I need to change this, ... someday ill do a post of SF4 we went on in Bangkok !! , ... had a great time man, and some late-night drinking with you and company... must do it again on Hivefest 2024 in Rio or somewhere when this 'Hijo-de-puta' Covid leaves us 😄... I'm actually a dog person myself but my Mrs won't have one as she is OCD about keeping the place clean and fears that a dog will just shit all over the place... Slobby also warns me about getting a dog as his Golden retriever dog does the same after eating spicy food!... thanks for prodding me man, ... someday another fest might happen - I look forward to it!
Absolute top marks for the title!
Why is it always Ginger cats that end up bossing the local area.
My little row of houses is cat-tastic - there is a huge fat ginger beast that now one messes with. The rest are cute enough!
You need to rename him Varis.
iv noticed this too, ..I think Ginger cats get abuse from their peers as humans do which makes them more resilient and ready for a fight, ... 😐
Maybe!
Although I think that's changing with humans now, ginger's been pretty in for years now!
Ah yes, my big ginger tomcat Beniamino has put on weight and become the super-alpha of the street this winter :-D
Toast - what a cracking name! I'd make sure your bedroom door is shut at night as he may seek his revenge.
yeah, .. the other one is called 'Gangster' because he used to be before Toast arrived. Toast just terrorizes him now, ... so it doesn't sound right anymore, ..
Toast looks quite angry now hehe. Sleep with one eye open.
its been a few days now and its working already, .. he's not trying to rip the carpet up anymore! ... still the bedroom door is locked 😃
Haha yeah. All for the best I suppose ;) Now he'll relax and start gaining some weight haha
Although he shown aggressiveness, yet he is very cute.
cute until he shows his back teeth ..lol 😮
My doggy thought I said tutored and was seriously looking forward to learning new things... SNIP
I just can't imagine sharing space with an active Tomcat. One per household should be the limit, I'd think.
ours was going to be one, ... but my daughter when round to her friend's whos cat had had a litter, .. and that was it, .. "we had to have it", ... 3 years later all the promises of looking after him and cleaning his litter and feeding seem to have gone out of the window and now we got 2 cats. 😕
Sliced into where.., your jugular?
he's a tomcat not a mountain bear @Slobberchops, .. although he may sometimes thinks he is. quiet as a mouse this morning so seems to have worked.
Hahaha! It's funny how you narrated the story of Toast's life 😂
Its sad what he had to undergo in the end but he'll understand eventually that it was for his own good...🤣
We had to get our dog fixed when we got her. Actually, we didn't but they gave us money back if we did within a certain number of days. So like she was $40 and then once we proved she was fixed the gave us $25 back or something like that. We had planned on doing it anyway. I think she would have made a good doggie mom though.
Hi @bozz, ... id like a dog but Mrs won't have one,.. we've been meaning to get Toast de-nutted for a few months now but with COVID everything was shut.
Nah that wasn't funny at all, I didn't laugh ONCE! You just on a break, plan on posting again one of these days?

Toast must be depressed now I guess and much tamer.
All his lady friends would be so disappointed now.
I am sure he isn't happy with you LOL
he's calmed down a lot and no more ripping up the armchairs or carpet! :-)
Not posting anymore?
I hope everything is fine!
Hugging Toast!

Love to see cats in the house ,being witty is one of the characteristic that I love in cats.
iv found that cats love you .......... especially when they are hungry or need food :-)
😂
he's a lot calmer now, .. thanks for sharing. :-)
Hey @slobberchops whatever happened to Goblin?
He's a lazy arse and can't be bothered to blog anymore. He curates using an auto-voter and has recently gotten into Splinterlands (courtesy of me).
Well tell him I say he sucks and that's not the guy I met 2 years ago! :P
Getting into SPL is always a good move, no matter when you're reading this haha. Give him my best.
I sent this to him.
Bless him: the look on his face... Yikes, yes, cats can change character a lot when they get snipped or sterilised. Hoping he has settled into his new less-bean look. Blessings
I had a ginger tabby named Wrecks. Even after the snip he was able to find a way to wreck anything (furniture, jewellery, dinner wear etc etc). He was the boss of the neighbourhood too. He scrapped enough, we could tell when he was winning by the sound of his war cry (howl).
We'll have to see what sort of revenge he has planned for you fro removing his knackers...
Gracias por tu voto 😊. Lindos gatitos 😻
Ooft - poor loon, I feel his pain !
