Finally caught up on the thread since Alpacawitz. These people are clearly animal hoarders, just like how they hoard toys and collectibles, except animals actually have needs…

I’m not looking forward to seeing how that new kitten will end up getting neglected. In a couple months it’ll be in worse condition than when they “found” it.

 

[YachieKicchou]

If that's actually a feral kitten that just turned up, they've probably just introduced their existing pet cats to a bunch of parasites and diseases.

If the kitten is a feral then it's going to be pretty easy to rehabilitate and turn into a domesticated one. It's going to be a hellion until it turns like, two, but that's every cat.
But it needs shots, a check for feline herpes (both checking if a carrier and if symptoms are active) and go through deworming procedures and other shit. A vet should be checking on the cat pronto before it harms any other animals or people and it likely needs it's nails trimmed (if anyone catches even a single whiff of a declawing taking place the tranch should get Waco'd frankly).
It's not hard for a feral kitten to become a strictly indoors cat. Good treatment, lots of love and socialization and attention to medical issues will have the cat in tip-top shape.
I'm sure the Tranch will do all of this and took good responsibility for this kitten they just brought in-

 

[Ivan Daniloff]

Kittens do “turn up” at ranches and farms all the time - people callously dump them at the roadside, especially right after Christmas.

So it could be true.

That is one damn fine looking kitten though and in good condition too, I’d say someone paid good money for it, and it wasn’t fending for itself for long. Am I bad for immediately suspecting they just bought it?

It looks like a purchase to me, someone who is autistic-adjacent when it comes to our feline friends. I hope they take care of the poor little thing…

 

[s0mbra]

If it's not bought (might be worth looking into local shit to see if anyone was selling/getting rid of kittens in the area), it's probably a neighbors cat who wandered too far and hasn't been out long at all. As for winter kittens? It's 100% a possibility. I have a relative with farmland absolutely overrun with feral cats (I've offered so many times to help trap them to get them spayed and neutered...) And they have kittens aright before/at the beginning of winter too

That cat is gorgeous and has such nice long hair the trannies will never brush and will get matted all to hell.
My first reaction when finding a stray is to take it somewhere to get checked for a microchip. Bet that thought didn't even cross their minds. They saw a cute animal on their property and went "Oh! MINE NOW!" And all the selfies and social media posting about it...ugh.

Don't they already have standing cat piss in the house? And they just throw another strange cat into the mix. No proper introduction to the other animals, no deworming or flea meds...

It genuinely baffles me how retarded these people are.

I would definitely find a TNR to work with. Which actually reminds me if they checked with any local TNR groups that are managing or keeping an eye on local feral colonies. If that sort of organization exists in their area, and it most certainly does, they should be reaching out immediately. Both to check if the cat is recognized (kittens are a prime concern for TNR groups because once they're the appropriate age they can be snatched up early and rehabilitated) and so the cat can be given care (TNR groups specialize in this).

There's a former feral cat in my lap right now I got and rehabilitated alongside a TNR group as a kitten whose the sweetest thing but cats need work and a feral kitten needs a lot of it and there are resources that will help either pro-bono or for pretty cheap (please don't take that for granted, donate!)

Any group who specializes in feral and stray outdoor cats worth its salt will also have a full directory of resources on vetrinarians and other care providers alongside resources on how to handle various ailments the cat might have alongside resources on proper care and food for specific things the cat might be going for.

Always incredible to see so-called 'socialists' try to act as an individual army and not engage and get help from *or* help communities they claim to love, and then cry about alienation.

 

[AnOminous]

That was my first reaction too, I remember hearing somewhere that one easy way to show audience that character is good is to show them rescuing small animals (especially kittens or puppies).

Or to show that a villain isn't completely unredeemable. The troons fail this test in every way.

Trust me. I've tried. I hate to say this about my own family but they are genuinely too retarded to realize there is anything wrong or that feral farm cats deserve vet care I've tried to help but have been told to leave it alone, as not to start drama. Feelsbadman. May just go ahead and call someone anonymously next time I'm around, as it is becoming a problem... They have some cute ass kittens that would get snapped up in a heartbeat too.

It's hard to help with animals. If they aren't actively being tortured or visibly starved, nobody gives a shit, especially on a farm. As we see with the tranch...

I feel ya bro.
Have paid to get feral farm cats neutered and rescued two kittens from relatives properties in the past. It does cause drama. They’re almost beyond taming by the time they come out of hiding in barns, and have all the cat diseases going and fleas, poor little buggers. Left alone, very few make it.
But still. One is snoring on the couch next to me rn, they are daft creatures that enrich life a bit.

100% agree that is not what happened here though, that is a tame, high value cat that was either bought or given to them.

Literally naming an Elden Ring NPC before the game existed.

Well the dung eater does insert the seed into the ass of the victim, and then eats it.
Maybe dung eater is literally based on someone on the tranch?
Maybe Miyazaki is a member on this site and he has been following this very thread for years?

This is really generic, though. Farmers often have these feral barn cats and just don't do anything to care for them. They're just there to kill other vermin. They don't feed them or anything, and they generally don't even have names. The best I've seen them treated is they spay them, vaccinate them, and maybe feed them a bit when it's cold and their usual vermin diet isn't there.

Barn cats are not considered pets by people who have them.

 

[Inlé]

Having worked at a rescue for some time, the feral kittens we got never looked like that. They were dirty, often had eye infections, were flea-ridden and would bite and scratch the shit out of your hands if you ever tried to handle them, even the healthiest ones didn't look pristine like the new tranch kitten, to nobody's surprise they are lying about where Wisp came from.

If they found it outside they can't just ask the neighbors, that would provoke the fascist neighbors to kill them and the cops will say "dead troon communists? SELF DEFENSE!"

And besides, Earl monitors their social media in conjunction with the Kiwi Farms drones he has access to per our agreement so if it's a neighbors cat he will see it and be able to organize a special forces team to attack.

 

[bitchfit]

That ain't no feral. That ain't no stray. It's too clean and nourished lookin.

 

[NoReturn]

That kitten looks well fed and cared for. Bollocks Penny found it, he probably bought it then lied to Kevvie and twitter in another attempt to look like a caring decent person.

Probably picked it up somewhere while away from ranch.

What are the three stooges going to do when they move to Penny's relatives house?

They can't grift as a Trans haven, they can't get surfs in to do the work, where's the angle?
I presume Kevin will just go on begging even without the backstory but it's hard to see how they can get any leverage.

Penny's family is up near Boulder, which is a rich-person-zone full of trans-positivity, so they'll probably find a welcoming community in the next town over.

They're gonna Munchhausen's-by-proxy that kitten to get more gibs.

I have a rescued kitten that was feral and he acted normally but was definitely flea ridden and not in great shape and i had to hand bathe him. He was instantly sweet and just happy to be loved on because his momma died. He was pretty little though because kittens who are younger don't go full retard on feral under like 6wks in my experience.

But highly agree. They didn't "find" that cat. It was either taken from a neighbor whose cat had kittens or it was acquired elsewhere.

Either way poor kitty

This. Farm/barn cats are not pets, they are there to keep vermin down, as it can be a huge problem for any kind of farm, but especially those that use grain feed in any way. If you feed the cats they will not hunt efficiently enough to keep the mice down. The most that should be expected to be done health wise is flea mitigation, and taking care of any diseases and worms that circle through the cats. You cannot neuter them as you'd be out of cats in less then a year due to predators. That said, it's not unusual for friendlier kittens to be pulled out of the group to be adopted out to friends and family. Several of my family's cats are from the line of barn cats our farm used to have.

Barn cats are working animals, they have a job, and play an important role in the farm "ecosystem"

You guys must know some sort of shitty farmers.

The barn cats I dealt with are not housepets but they aren't feral either. They are working animals. They don't run like ferals from humans, they are very curious about new humans, and love getting about 30 seconds of pets/attention - and then that's enough and they'll let you know. If they like you enough to want more attention, you'd better be wearing leather gloves because they express love via their sharp bits and unlike a domesticated cat they do not mind the taste/scent of blood.

The bar cats usually get a flea collar, and worm medicine put in the little food they're given, and the "important" ones usually get a once over by the vet when he's there taking care of the bigger animals.

Every farmer I know, bring the momma cat into a box the mud room when its kittening time (or at least the wife insists Joe does) so the kittens get used to humans. Momma might have ideas about how much you are allowed to pet her, but once their eyes open, if you want to distract one or two of her little hellions, momma cat could not give a shit (until they start making hungry noises). So the kittens get socialized, some get adopted out, and the rest go back to the barn with momma to learn the family business.

 

[AfghanBlue]

I was thinking that the kitten looked very healthy and well fed (and has a gorgeous coat). My initial suspicion is that it's a neighbour's kitten that has gotten loose and then got lost, but I guess most nearby neighbours probably wouldn't have pet cats but instead farm cats.

From my limited experience of farm cats, they tend not to be quite as tame or as well cared for (and they don't tend to get lost) but I guess on the latter point this is an orange cat, and they always seem to be the dumbest type of cat.

Buying the kitten is probably the most likely answer, though, especially since he looks about the right age to be weaned. Which is incredibly stupid because why would you buy a kitten if you're currently plotting an exit strategy to your family's farm and are going to be dealing with the hassle of moving and are strapped for cash? Wait, duh, probably to cheer up Kevin about the impending Trail of Queers. It's hard to be sad when you're playing with a kitten

If that's actually a feral kitten that just turned up, they've probably just introduced their existing pet cats to a bunch of parasites and diseases.

Given how much these people suck..

I'd reckon they leave all the current animals to /whatever the fuck is gonna happen with the tranch/, and take the kitten with them all shiny and new!

it's a pretty little kitten, coincidentally at just age when they are allowed to be sold .
As for the rest of the animals...? eh, to hell with em.

the 'rents, who wont probably know the extent of how many Troons are coming even, are surely not gonna accept 15 cats and however many dogs.

the old, boring house pets will be restyled as 'barn cats' & 'working dogs' and it was Always Thus.

But they will sneak one kitten in the new place, so Kevin's got a critter to post cute selfies with, to keep up a little aesthetic of having anything to do with animals for the New Diet Ranch Grift 2.0


(unless Kev kills it in an Elliptical relaxed accident-
staggering off it maybe, or tipping it over, or putting all his weight onto it while the kitten has squeezed itself inside some piece of the machine, as dumdum cats are wont to do...)

Pretty much this.
They're on my place, they're working (not just vermin hunting - cats are almost as effective as geese at sounding the fox alarm), they get looked after. It really isn't a difficult concept.
