My wife and daughter were in the yard this afternoon and they heard a faint meow coming from the woods. They went to investigate and a small kitten jumped out and ran to them. He was very friendly and my daughter picked him up. He started purring and snuggling with her. That is when I came outside and quickly realized we had a new pet ::) We got him some water and he drank for a long time. Then he ate a can of cat food, some kitty treats, and then some dry food. We sat on the porch and he took turns snuggling with everybody. I pulled a few ticks off of him and then we doctored him up with some flea and tick repellant. The wife and kids had to leave for a few hours so I headed to my shop to split some BL and hickory logs. I turned around and there is the kitten sitting there watching me. I put a rag down on my bench so he could lay down. He followed me all around the shop and then he layed down on the rag. It wasn't long before he was out cold. I split all the logs and he slept right through it. I guess the wife and kids named him Stanley. I suggested Ishi or Tiller, but they didn't like those. If he stays around I think I'll have a shop buddy. I guess I will be making a kitty door in the garage somehow.

He seemed to like my stave collection

He has some cool markings. He has a little Ultimate Warrior thing going on both sides of his face

Looks like the warm blooded little reptile has successfylly infiltrated your lives. Just remember tho old adage: "Dogs have masters...cats have staff."
Right Bevan?

I already know about cats JW. We adopted one from the pound this winter. She bites us on the foot when she's hungry.

Sorry but I couldn't help looking at you're signature line under that last photo.Ron >:D

That's cool. Cats make great shop companions because they leave you alone and you don't have to toss a ball.

You should name it "bow string" hehe >:D

Maybe you could put the kitty to work by tacking down leg sinew and having kitty shred it 8)

I think he is drooling over the vast variety of scratching posts you have! ;D
-
I think naming it after David Tiller would have been cool.

I did catch him sharpening his claws on the BL staves once. He was right by my side until I went inside at dark. He spent the night curled up on my bench. He sure does have a strong motor. When you pick him up he purrs so loud it sounds like a tiny chainsaw. I'm curious to see what he gets into today while I'm out there.

Someone hold down PatB!!! >:D >:D >:D

Good to hear of someone giving a stray animal a good home. Well done!

It is hard to get much done with this little guy around. It's impossible to cut a straight line on a bandsaw while your shoe is getting attacked.

He wouldn't leave me alone so I put him up on my workbench. He kept busy by playing with my pencil.

Nice cat but what really shocks me is I didn't think shops were ever that clean!! :o ;)
-

Yeah... even the bandsaw fresh cuts look sorta clean...

This is flat-out adorable. but reading your signature after this worried be a bit. jk :D
-
I only eat certain animals. Cats are not one of them :)
-
Looks like you got a friend whether you like it or not. A wiseman once told me "You don't always get the animal you want,you get the one you need" ;)
Thanks Leroy

My wife's always sayin', God assigns people their pets. Please keep us updated as the little guy grows!
