Stryder turned five on April 1st. He is the one who enjoys playing with toys the most. Scotchy will play with them occasionally, but Stryder is the one who lays claim to all toys coming into the house and gets the most enjoyment out of them. He also enjoys going outside a lot. This got him into a bit of trouble when he was just a very young cat. Stryder is one of Sugar's five kittens, all boys. Two of them were adopted by some people who own a farm and three of them stayed with Kellykat. Frodo, Gandalf and Stryder all liked to go outside and romp in the grass. There is a formerly feral cat who lives next door named Lucky and he really likes to roam. Frodo started hanging around with him and went off with him one day, never to return. Then Gandalf started hanging around with Lucky and went off with him, also never to return. Then it was Stryder's turn. He also went off with Lucky and disappeared, but he came back after two weeks. Kellykat rushed him to the vet to make sure that nothing untoward had happened to him while he was gone. He was fine, but the vet recommended that it was time to have him neutered. Stryder got the operation and has stayed close to home ever since.
Stryder loves to play with his toys.
The catnip inside them gives him joys.
Now he's running around
With his paws off the ground
After playing with his catnip toys.

It's a good thing to be neutered and a good thing to stay inside, too, because then you don't have the worry of getting lost or begin beat up by bigger mancats.
sounds like stryder sowed his wild oats and now has a great home.
That's a good thing. All cats should be neutred,would avoid a lot of cat misery and unhappiness of the owners.
Very nice limerick for Stryder.
He is a lucky cat to be neutered. I wonder if neutering makes cats like catnip toys and other cat toys better?
Your friends,
Shilgiah, Tommy and Hope

hehe Stryder yoo want to come play wif Trooder and his toys? We fink its funny dat he loves to bat stuff around so much!
It is strange that some cats are addicted to catnip and others really don't bother with it. I don't bother with it much, but cats who visited me from next door used to flatten my catnip plant by rolling on it.
WOW!! What a story! We are glad Stryder now hangs around the house! And we are so sad that Sugar went to the Rainbow Bridge! We will miss her! Mom finally has the house ready to sell and now has time so we can visit our furiends!! We have missed you!!

Karen Jo has left a new comment on your post "Panther Learns to Trust":
Panther and all the other cats are very lucky to have you looking out for them. I'm happy that Panther finally decided that it was safe to come inside, so she could be cared for more fully. You are doing a wonderful thing by helping out all these cats.

Glad Stryder came back home, the loss of two cats would be absolutely the worst fate I could think of...
