Beat me to the cooking shyt lol but nah I took in a stray... The cat would stay coming by sounding all sad and shyt at certains.... So I started putting out cat food cuz it would come by at the same time before the sun went down.. One day I opened the door to visit the cat, feed it, and rub but it was a big dumbass stupid ass racc00n or possum helping a little ass racc00n or possum eat that cat food... Legit:merchant: when I saw that shyt, closed by door fast as shyt... A few weeks later the cat was in my yard and some dude and girl was walking their dog and trying to make the dog attack the cat for no reason:why: shyt really made me mad as fukk... Made an Ultimate Warrior run in save for that cat. ...That's when I took the cat in and he been my buddy since 2012.... Stared that dude like:leostare::beli::what: a good block and he kept lookin like lookin back like he wanted to pull it... My cat still doesn't have a name after all these years :russ:

He needs water fam and protein. Might as well try to take him in plus black cats are GOAt I've never associated with that bullshyt bad luck nonsense.

Them cats made a den out of the twig and shrubs. I went to try and grab him with my gloved hand and he gave it a 2-peice and ran back deeper. He's got fur and his eyes are open so I imagine he is alteast a couple of weeks old. I think I'm going to give up for the night, ill watch the cameras tonight to see if his parents come back for him.

fukk it, imma try again. The hole is big enough to fit my hand through

My kid woke up so ill just try again in the AM.

I began seeing its parents about 2-3 weeks ago so its about that age. Def doesn't look newborn. He's black and I can see that his front paws are white. I been seeing cats run down my driveway as recently as yesterday, so they obviously still checkin for him. Tomorrow AM when I have more light I will get him, but doubt I will keep him. If I do keep him he will definitely be an outside cat.

I'm leaving some milk at the front door of his den incase its parents did :camby:

Braised Cat

  • 1 cat cut in serving-sized pieces dusted in flour with salt and pepper
  • 1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
  • 6 artichokes
  • 2 1/4" thick slices of slab bacon, diced
  • 1 small sweet onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 lemon
  • 3 small tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and diced
  • 1/2 c. dry white wine
  • 2-4 c. homemade chicken broth
  • garni of 4 flat parsley stems, 6 leafy thyme branches, 1 bay leaf tied up with kitchen twine Salt and pepper
  • 1/4 c chopped flat-leaf parsley (optional)
  1. Snap the leaves off the artichokes until only the tender inner leaves remain. Snap off the stem. Trim the remaining green bits from the bottom of the artichoke, and cut off the inner leaves in a bunch at the point where they are very tender. Pare the tough green outer layer off the remaining stem, pairing the stem into a point. Now cut the artichoke bottom into quarters and remove the choke with a sharp knife from each quarter. Rinse to remove any traces of foin ("hay") and drop them into a bowl of water acidulated with the juice of half a lemon.
  2. Heat 2 T olive oil in a large heavy casserole or Dutch oven. Dredge the cat pieces in seasoned flour, shaking off excess. Brown over medium heat, turning regularly, until golden on all sides. Remove cat pieces to a plate and dump any oil remaining in the pan. Add 1 T of the remaining oil and the bacon dice. (Omit bacon if you only have access to the thin-sliced vacuum packed supermarket variety.) Sauté until cooked but not "crisp". Add the remaining T of oil and the onion and carrot. Saute for 5 minutes, then add the artichoke quarters and the garlic, stir one minute, and add the tomatoes and the white wine. Turn up the heat and reduce until syrupy, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes. Lay the bouquet garni on top of the vegetables. Arrange the cat pieces on top, together with any juice accumulated in the plate.
  3. Pour in enough broth to come halfway up the sides of the cat pieces. Cover and bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer over very low heat about 1 hour or cook in the oven at 350 degrees for the same amount of time. The cat should be just tender and part readily from the bone. Don't overcook or it will become dry. Check the liquid level frequently and add more broth if necessary. Turn the cat pieces once.
  4. When done, remove the cat pieces to a warm platter and arrange the vegetables, removed with a slotted spoon, around them. Cover and keep warm. Strain the remaining pan juices into a smaller saucepan and reduce over high heat, skimming frequently, until reduced by 1/3. Pour over the platter and serve immediately. Sprinkle with finely chopped flat-leaf parsley if you like.

Keep it, so much better than dogs, but people be hating.

My cat was awesome, absolutely no roaches or mice ever, and it stopped me from dying from alcohol poisoning (they like pray for you and sit with you when too drunk). It died of a heart attack because it wouldn't stop taking the fried chicken an pork chops off the counter. It thought it was a dog. R.I.P.
