The Day of the Orange Cyclone

We need to pitch in and get you some chain mail for moments like those.

No need, we gave him his freedom this morning. He was going absolutely over the top nuts in captivity, so I made the choice to release him early. I did one last extensive cleaning of his ears (with Mike's help and Feliway spray) and gave him more antibiotic and put ointment in his eyes. He was released at 2:00 a.m. this morning and he raced back past the pasture and over the creekbed into the woods.

Oh - poor Grumbles. Cyclone took over. I, too, felt such elation at the idea of this guy having a new family. But the one he's got is truly wonderful, and I'm sure he'll be happiest on his own turf.

He has merged with our bunch quite well. He comes in regularly to feed with them, he allows me to pet him and sit by him. He is healthy, and of good weight. His wound is closed and healing nicely and his eyes and ears and nose are clear.

Oh, good!!!

I am so happy to hear that. May you and he have many long years together. He sounds like such a character!

I am so happy Ciclone is doing great and is comming back . I did worried a little that he wont come back . Now you even get to pet him , now I call that success

MA, that must be so satisfying. I was just coming in here to ask if you had seen him after the day he bounded away into the forest.

Oh! What wonderful news! You must be so happy (not to mention relieved)!

Woo Hoo!

Sounds like Cyclone's life has settled down to a place that he's content with. That's great! That he accepts your company and petting says volumes -- he knows you are his friend. Whoever said cats don't say "thank you" didn't know what he was talking about.

Wow I just read this whole thread. The pictures were awesome. He looks as if he had a different start at life he would have been a big sucky cuddler kitty.

I never knew many people took care of the wild cats. Its something I would like to look into doing. It must take a lot of will power and love. Great to see there are people out there who care for the "un-noticed" ones.

I hope he still comes around, I'm sure he knows what you did for him is a good thing and he is feeling better.

Great work. You made me cry like a baby.

Hugs and Kisses from me and Emmers to the little Cyclone!

I'm so happy to hear Cyclone is doing well and has maintained his spirit! He's so beautiful MA, so very beautiful. I don't want to nag you, but it would make my week to see some pictures of him soon. He's so handsome.

Cassie, as soon as I get new batteries, you will have your pictures.

Oh M.A. that is such good news regarding Cyclone. I'm glad he's coming back and letting you be near him. He knows you care for him and it is great he is responding to your loving touch.

Mary Anne this is great news!

Yay, thank you SO much MA! I'm so excited about him, and especially that he's fitting in well, and doing better. My heart swells everytime I think about how much better he is doing and how lucky he is that he found you, or should I say that you found each other?

I spoke to soon. Tonight he lit into Kahuna and ripped open Kahuna's front leg. The wound is big, but thankfully not deep. I had to turn the hose on them to get them apart. I have Kahuna on house arrest and Cyclone vanished under the house. I guess him being a tomcat for as long as he was has ingrained some bad habits in him. I am not sure why he and Kahuna tangled.

Oh No Mary Anne!

I hope Kahuna's leg will be alright-

Oh no! Sending healing vibe Kahuna's way!!

OH no
I hope Kahuna is ok , I also will be praying for healing

I am sending get well vibes to Kahuna, and calming vibes to Cyclone. Poor Kahuna. Hopefully Cyclone will calm down a bit.


Is Kahuna your alpha? Poor thing.
