Yes, I still miss Cashmere and it’s been about 10 months. Everything used to be in three – feeding them, grooming them, it seems like I’m not done when I’ve just done two.
I hear you on the for! I haven’t been able to wear black and years :-) but it’s OK, it’s worth the trade-off.
That is so so sweet of you to accommodate Kittie’s in your garage. I sure hope sone are able to find it. I have been feeding a stray cat at the Bojangles dumpster in town. I sure wish I could catch her and bring her home. I have no idea how they survive these cold nights. It literally does keep me awake some nights worrying about them when the weather is exceptionally bad.
Wonderful that you’re feeding the stray cat. Makes a big difference in their survival. Get a picture if you can!!!
I saw a mother with growing kittens in the yard in winter and left the back porch door open. Then we found her dead there. I was highly motivated to capture her kittens and finally did. We kept them through their lives, but they never became friendly. They were totally devoted to one another and wanted nothing to do with human beings. The last one followed his brother fairly quickly. Heartbreaking.
We took in the neighbor’s cat because it kept escaping their house and showing up in a snowdrift in front of ours. Finally I stopped returning it. They would occasionally come over to visit her.
Paul is putting bologna out in the garage as a guide to figuring out if a cat actually goes in there now. Bologna gone, we assume cat. Bologna still there? Sigh.
I thought someone might take up residence in the cat house we put on the feeding table, but none did. So I use it to protect food from snow and rain. I throw bread and catfood into the house, and leave the birdseed and peanuts and bologna out on the table. Then I keep a broom and a shovel by the feeding window and keep the table clear through the night when it snows. But this year everyone seems to be hibernating except the smallest possum.
