The grandmother story of Cookie Monster (I)

Meet Cookie Monster, our fourth cat (yes, again)

He is the first cat coming into our family not as a kitten.
So we seriously don't know how old he is.
We estimate 8 month old (baby face, not very big body size etc.),
but vet estimates at least one year plus
(mature development of his hmm hmm)

Unlike the others who came when they were kittens,
so it was easy to estimate them as 2, 3 months of age

Anyway,
more about how he came.about:

On Thursday night 9 February 2012,
Ougwee and I were walking in the area near our home,
when we saw this ginger white cat peeing in the grass.

Ear still untipped.
Okay, we declared that he would be our next victim for stray cat sterilisation
We got the carrier down,
and Ougwee carried him and tried to put him in the carrier

1st attempt failed. He used his two paws to place against the carrier entrance
2nd attempt failed. Same
..
4th attempt failed. Same.

For some reason or other,
the ginger cat met two strangers who kept trying to trap him into a carrier
and yet he still stayed tamely in Ougwee's hands,
with his two paws still on the edge of the carrier's entrance.

Anyway, by some way or the other,
we managed to get him into the carrier.


*****************************************************************

The earliest slot we could take him for sterilisation was on Monday,
quite a few days away.

Ougwee decided to give him a bath.

After that he was allowed to walk around in Popo's room.

After that we decided he was so sweet,
we didn't bear to put him back on the street,
especially with the over-effectiveness of pest control these days

We cancelled the sterilisation slot on Monday
so that he could keep his ear.

We put up an adoption notice for Cookie

Potential adopter was hmm.. uhh uhh,
so, failed 'test'

Cookie ran off during the adoption meeting to the road
and was almost knocked down by a car

Ougwee managed to coax the scared Cookie
out from his hiding place under the car,
and we brought him back home.

I think from then on,
even though we did not explicitly say it,
we had decided to let him stay with us.,

Next day,
adoption notice taken down.

(I know story sounds disjointed, but its so long so I'm condensing the story)
