This is a "Wee Beastie" on a site I look after.
She loves attention and treats from me.
She is not asleeep, but waiting to strike, note her paw. I soon leraned that if I flinched or pulled back she kept her claws out.
If I did not pull back she would pad me with he paw.

My daughter has a small round globe in a self containing dish . It has a low voltage mains stepped down supply and a quiet as a dead mouse water pump . The cats licks of the tiny trickle of water that comes out the globe's central hole .. evidently cats love chlorine free & other chemical free oxygenated water such as they could get from a clean flowing stream.
Jasper rarely drank water as his meat in gravy food was well watery but when he did drink it was , " Dog get out my way , I'm coming for a drink from your water bowl " .

Is that why in days of sailing ship all ships had a Pusser's cat that survived being at sea ?
The Purser's Puss ?

Still no Jasper this morning at 10.00 despite me calling him & sounding off on his feed bowl with a serving fork . ( done it every meal time since he went missing 8 days ago . Deeply saddened we loaded up all his cans & pouches of food save for five pouches of chicken in gravy , did the same whth chews , toys beding etce tetc etc to give to my daughter for her two cats.
Neither of us really felt like celebrating with a meal for a birthday or the an engagement , didn't really fel like partying but we have to move on with life I suppose.
So once everything was delivered to our daughters we went with our 21 yr old daughter (still suffering badly from covid 19 [ unconfirmed at the time ] that struck us as a family way back in Nov 2019 ( Yes 2019 ). & her future legal husband
We had a sort of celebration lunch and was deeply upset to see just how bad the covid has left her .... nine flake out's in the restaurant in just over an hour . Hospital doing loads of tests & admission observations for several days at a time. .
So you can imagine the journey back home wasn't done in the happiest of hearts for either Alison or I .
Al got in the house before me , as I came through the gate & about to close it .. who should come waltzing up the garden path with tail held high and a little waving to me at the tip whilst singing his songs to me but Jasper , scabby starving hungry and nearly as thin as when we got him six months ago .
He fair ran into the house when I opened the door , Al shed a few tears I didn't but some pesky sand really got in my eyes & made them water a bit for a second or two
Al fed him , he's gulped down two packets of chicken & gravy cat food , first one in just over a minute .
He won't leave us alone & has been purring non stop beside the eating session .. amazing ........previously he'd rarely ever purred in the 6 months we've had him.
Boy is he skinny or what .. at a guess he's been locked in a shed for 8 days & got out some time this afternoon. If so I wonder how his thirst has affected his kidneys .

Thanks guys & gals we're still grinning ear to ear.
So far between 16.15 & 23.20 hrs he's scoffed four pouches of chicken in gravy , two cat chew sticks and almost half a can of beef in gravy cat food . Al was concerned that he might overeat and puke it back , but he's only been fed when he's come up to us , pawed us and gone to his feed & water bowls so it's unlikely ..
His front feet are no longer the pure white they were before he went missing and his front claws look a bit worn down instead of being needle sharp points ....so it' almost certain he was locked in a shed or garage .
Seven lives or so to go ? One lost till we got him and one for this disappearance ?

Glad he came back. I’m not a fan of collars on cats but perhaps an Apple Airtag would be the answer.
AirTag
Attach AirTag to everyday items, like your keys or a backpack, to easily keep track of them in the Find My app.www.apple.com
Good idea, but wouldn't that hanging off a collar be liable to snag on things?
