Hi everyone!
I've just joined, so hopefully I'm doing this right.
We have 13 cats, (a lot, I know!) 9 of which are farm cats, although they still have one room of the house they can come into, and relax in.
Of the others, 2 are inside/outside cats, and 2 are fully indoors.
Hazel is one of the farm cats, but she was originally a completely feral cat. She came to us when we had a rat plague, and I started feeding her.
Slowly, she became more trusting, until the wonderful day when she claimed me as her very own human. All the other cats except one, are either her children or grandchildren, as we had a bit of an out of control breeding season. (it is all under control now, with them all being de-sexed)
We were saved from rats and mice, and love having the cats around, and Hazel is so special to me, as she came when I needed her the most.
I have also saved and re-homed another litter of feral kittens since then.
One of our indoor cats has cancer, so we might not have her much longer...I will miss her so much :(
I love cats, and hope to talk to more people about them! (also, I was feeling bored, so thought I would meet some new people. lol :)

Hello and welcome to TCS. :wave2: You're certainly come to the right place, if you want to talk cats.

Hazel sounds like a special cat. Glad she came into your life, and "gifted" you with more cats. :catman: Good job getting them all spayed and neutered!
:petcat:

Sorry about your indoor kitty with cancer. Hopefully she'll feel well for a while yet. 🤗

Hello, and thanks for all the welcomes!
Here are some pics of Hazel,

And this was Pat, and young male cat the I trapped, and got de-sexed. (I actually thought he was female, but its still a good thing)
We kept him for a while, hoping he would become friendly enough to be rehomed.
And he did get very friendly, but sadly while we were still getting to know each other, the door somehow got left open, and we were never able to catch him again.
I guess that was what he wanted?

Welcome to you, Hazel, and the rest of your large and varied clowder! Hazel is a lovely girl, and you are so honored that she gifted herself to you! Cats know. Somehow, they know.
