[quote=Dan Thornton]Zeke arrived about a year ago as a stray kitten, and I told my wife we needed to find him a home. Also, I told her that I did not want another pet and that I particularly disliked orange cats.

Beautiful cat and pictures! I love cats!! Your wife is right to want to keep him!

It turns out that Zeke is a relentless hunter that has even had success with squirrels. To slow down the hunting, my wife makes him wear claw covers and a harness complete with a tracking device and a bell. Also, Zeke is now only allowed outside in the early morning before daylight. This has slowed him down, and I have been trying to change his name to "Crappy Cat" without success. Some of my other thoughts on the cat follow.

Zeke’s the Name

Freaky Zeek’s a crappy cat
He wears a vest but not a hat
He’s mostly bad and seldom good
He prowls the yard and neighborhood
Looking for, what he can kill
And, if it moves, he surely will
Creep, crawl and trap his prey
There is no chance they’ll get away
A squirrel, a bird, or butterfly
Have all been sighted in his eye
Though hunger does not drive the beast
Not looking for food or feast
Its just a game an exercise
To test his claws and steady eyes
Day or night is all the same
A crappy cat and Zeke’s the name
Zeke arrived about a year ago as a stray kitten, a... (show quote)

My hateful Harriet thinks Zeke is a Hottie. Maybe they should get married.

Having him neutered may reduce his desire to hunt,


My wife also thought neutering might help, but it did not. He wears a halter and claw covers which have helped some.

From the trouble you have gone to to take good photos I really think you like this cat.


I do rather like the cat but not the responsibility.
