WHAT??
Wooly’s eyes pop when something he doesn’t notice before suddenly moves around him. After the 3 days he accidentally spent outdoors, he’s been a very easily-spooked little guy.
We don’t pick him up and reward the reaction, instead we touch the challenging object. Then he waltzes up and slaps it. ” Once slapped, always conquored,” is how Wooly sees it. He’s very brave because he faces what scares him.
Rescued: Probably once a day; from stuff he get into, LOL. Seriously, he’s a rescue from a yard sale, then he got lost outdoors till we rented a live trap from the SPCA and caught him in it. Then we had to rescue him from the trap- he was freaked out, and he’d been bumping his face into the bars on the top and sides so much his little fuzzy face was swollen. He galloped through the house 3 times before he realized he was home, indoors, with his humans and his cat partners. So the Wool’s had it tough for an emotional little guy.

Poor baby! OMG! I know how they are after an unexpected or unplanned outing like that Dayonda. It’s happened around here before and they can be so easily spooked for a few days.
I hope he will soon settle down and get comfy in his surroundings again. Wooly reminds me of our Scruffy. Great captuer! xo
Dayonda replied
These gray kids are exceptional, aren’t they? Wooly’s spookiness has lasted 3 years- not days. He’s always concerned that predators will find the “nest”- he eats cat hair clumps if we don’t get them picked up right away. He has a little girlfriend who’s quite a bit bigger than he is, but he runs to protect her, anyway. Then he bites her in the throat to show how much he loves her. Well- snips and snails and puppy-dog tails, I guess. Thanks- D

Oh the poor little fellow. Give him lotsa Love.
Dayonda replied
Everybody gives the little guy love! He thinks our caregiver comes over to love him. Our guests come for Wooly. Of course, it’s probably true. . .

poor baby
Dayonda replied
Yeah, but wouldn’t that make a b’day card! “You’re HOW MANY years old now?”
robpixaday
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW poor little guy!! But it sounds like he’s doing great now? And he’s QUITE handsome!!!
Dayonda replied
Yes, Pix, he’s fine. He just has to give anything new the Slap Test.
And yes, he’s very handsome. He has a human girlfriend and a cat girlfriend, and mom and dad, or course. And a couple other cats- he hero-worships the bigger, older tomcat, Sebastian. They’re very much individuals.

I miss my kitties sooo much! Great capture!
Dayonda replied
It’s very hard to live without kitties. Even for a short time. Thanks, it was one of those GRAB THE CAMERA moments!

Hahaa…Love the look…x…..I miss having mine around….x…..Prescious moments Dandy….x
Dayonda replied
Yes, they are. He’s already about 3.5. The old lady of the house is 17. I hope they all live a longgggg time!.

My Kitty II is just like him, will lay next to me but I cannot pick her up and have her like it. We just got her back after a week with a dog in the house. So we will give her her space and let her rewarm to us. Cats are strange animals for sure.
Dayonda replied
They surely are. I think it was Robt Heinlein who wrote, “Women and cats will do what they want and dogs and men have make up their minds to it.” LOL, very true! A dog, of all things—how could you? LOL
Rosalie Scanlon
What a great look. Beautiful eyes, excellent image.
Dayonda
Thanaks Rosalie. The light wasn’t right to show up his eyes so I did a little Selective Coloring, and painted them in the way they were supposed to be.
Stephen Thomas
Great goofy cat photo!
Dayonda replied
Thanks, Stephen. Yes, he’s a silly guy. So silly that he has the most entertainment value of all 10 cats.
