Hello Lotters, Well, as some of you know my cat ponchi left me when i accidentally opened the gate and forgot to closed it down. He actually came back, when I was at the barbershop nearby and asked if he had seen my cat running around, he actually saw it right away in the trees i looked back and shocked as he attempts to enter the gate which i partially closed it. unfortunately, i haven't bought a USB for my Phone in this computer so i used the webcam instead. he used to be like a 10 to 12 inch of a kitten but now his length is almost same with the CPU. and i believed he's a bit of a Camera shy i think he knew what the camera looks like except when my phone takes picture of him and the phone makes a funny click noise.. Oh, well at least i got him back now. he ain't leaving house again...just to sleep Have a nice day.

Whoa he is back, i guess mating season is over, 400 pesos wont give any harm, I think spaying is like the only way so he wont be searching for ladies again. Oh he is such a snob, he doesnt love the camera. Maybe he doesn't want fame or have a career as a LOLCAT, he wanted privacy. I'm glad you have him back. I use to have a male cat too and I still see him but ever since he smelled some ladies he never comes back. Thats why I prefer female cats but they will have me invaded kittens. so whether cat is male or female, I will spay them.

Hello Captain, Maybe it's the fan that's keep him from looking at the camera. So far all he does is eat and sleep, that's what i've always wanted him to do. And besides, when ever I call him he would come to me but not rubber my legs though. I will do something about that spaying thing some day, now is not the time for it but am glad he's back and acting his usual lazy self. Have a great day. Thanks.

I like lazy cats, My cat is very playful she is like a dog and she prefers being outdoors, she would have not been poisoned if she is only lazy. I think I would like to have a pair of cats now but I will spay them both.

Hello Bhaby, Yes, He is a big one. Probably due to months of feeding him with nothing more than just plain cat food. Of course, that's when he also started to like human food, even pandesal he also competes that with my dog jolen, they both love eating a lot. Except Juice or Ice tea I just feed them with water including vitamins. I guess I should adjust my phone tonight in case I would snap a pic to him again.

hi letran I am so glad for you and for Ponchi. that name sounds familiar but cannot place it now. I bet its the sound of your phone that made him shy away. He is so cute.I always loved pure black cats.Anyway you got a cute picture and hes going to stay put I can believe if you have anything to do with it. lol.wonder if he was up in the tree watching you when you were hunting him. enjoy Ponchi now. hugs from hatley.

Hello hatley, No, I was using a web cam. Actually when I was taking pictures of him outside the terrace, he didn't bother it that much with the snap sound but still sit in his usual position.no, he's not entirely back there's white parts on his shoulder and tummy. Well, he can't even climbed down the side walk so I really doubt he can climbed trees just to watch birds. Have a nice day.

Congratz Knight, at least my prayers did not go unanswered, really I did pray when I responded to your previous post, so nice to have him back and hope this would serve as a productive lesson., so he was not caught by roving bands of kid prowling our streets, I'm so very glad

Hello Louievill, Wow, thank you so much for the prayers. I don't think he learned his lesson unless he gets rolled by another car tire again, which is something I can't afford to happen again. So, he'd probably need to get used to the house. Well, yeah he was not caught by bunch of kids but of course, am sure he has sharp claws to defend himself against other things that wanted to get him. Have a nice day.

Hello grecy, you are right, he did come back on the same day. But if I didn't went outside, he could have tried to get in and went some where else. It's nice to have another cat lover worrying about mine, he's fine safe and fat as usual. Tomorrow I would be seeing him sleeping again in some corners of the terrace. And If I let go of jolen, they're going to be on the good play fight.

I am so glad Ponchi came back, I know how relieved you must be. I'm curious, how long was he gone? It was for at least a day or more wasn't it?

Hello Carmel, Where he has gone? Either in a small hole near the man hole that we temporary sealed in or the storage room that is owned by the hardware store. But in any case, he went home dirty, probably went into the leaves that were dirty too. Well, he was gone for hours, and something that I couldn't afford to let it happen ever again.

hello LK, See,he's back :) I couldn't imagine the big smile in your face when you saw him (aw..so sweet) better keep him stay away from the gate ...and never forget to close the gate either ... he's cute really

Hello Jaiho, Well, I make sure that he stay away from the gate. I think it's not the thing of leaving or getting away from the house, it's his way of being sneaking out but not as smart since other cats have other ways of getting out even if they're inside the house. That's what my mom thought too, since he's so cuddly and cute any one can get interested and take him. Have a Nice day.

I'm happy that he's back. I think he won't really leave you and your house cause cats get very attached to the place where they grow up....my cat, "Burnok" is also camera shey. He closes his eyes as if he is shy.

Congratulations! I'm glad that you got your cat back. I remember you talking about your cat coming up missing and you were worried if it got ran over or if someone stold it. I'm glad that you found your cat safe!

Hello Marger, Yes, I did. I was very very very sad at that time and depress too. Of course, either stole or got hit it would have hurt me very badly if indeed something bad happened to him. He's the longest cat I have taken care with and I have grown to love him better than any one elses. Probably it would have been better too if he had a partner too.

I understand it is easy to get attached to our animals that we have had for a while. They become a part of the family. I'm glad that it ended up being good news. Have a good weekend!

Awww. Good for you. Really cute. :] I lost a cat. I've seen him outside a few times and I think he likes it better there so I just let him be.

Hello memoryporte, Well, I guess letting him go is the best way it think. But my cat loves to sneak around when ever there's a slip hole in the gate or the door. Don't worry in time when he feels hungry, he will definitely go back to you someday.at least you're cat is alive and you can still see him moving around the neighborhood. But I guess I wouldn't say the same thing if I were in your shoes.
