Our cat thinks the cat flap is like a door bell. When she rattles it her servants come and open the door...

ROFL! She has the procedure down pat, I see. In my experience, most cats just want the door (or the flap) to remain open at all times. They don't necessarily want to come in or go out at that moment, they just want the door kept open in case they decide to come or go at some unspecified time in future. Silly servants, they should know that by now!

This one is a very lucky kitty... she was a stray kitten that showed up at my former workplace, got "adopted" there. But she ran afoul of the boss's Rottweilers, suffered an injury. Very long story short, got her to the vet, after Xrays he determined that the injury was a tiny break in one of the vertebrae just above her tail. Vet said he thought she would recover from it without surgery, if she was allowed to rest. So I took her home with me for rehab and meds. After a few days she was much improved and time came to take her back. Told the boss he owed me for rehab services and he said, "why don't you just keep her...she'll be safer away from the dogs..." Which was true, but we had to have a family conference about it (already three other cats in the house...). But -- surprise! -- by then she had bonded with Mr. Orchid (he is a real softy), and we couldn't take her back to The Dogs. So she moved right in, part of the household chaos now. A very sweet (and very spoiled) kitty. She's had her exams, her shots, her spay surgery, plenty of toys and (somewhat reluctant) playmates.

Thanks very much. He is a very sweet cat, loves to be cuddled, skrtiched, generally paid-attention-to.

Aw, he looks so friendly. He would be adopted fast with that face and eyes.

He is very friendly, yes. Most of the outside gang are fairly friendly and well-socialized, there are several who won't come near except at feeding-time and even then won't tolerate being touched. And there are a couple who are semi-friendly, they don't move away when approached (usually), but they don't have good manners, they reward a friendly petting with a nip. But most of them are friendly. I think Dusty would happily be somebody's lap cat. He's a big guy, too, probably the largest cat in the colony.

Another one of the outside gang...this is Shadow. He's one of the "feed me, don't touch me" club...
