(Because what else could it be) The Cat Came Back

[vr_trakowski]

The ferals are back!  At least two of them, anyway. 

I haven't seen them since last autumn at the latest; they just stopped showing up for food in the evenings and I refused to pile the stuff and just leave it.  I thought something had happened to them; sad, but that's life on the edge. 

But yesterday I heard someone meowing outside my window, and lo and behold, it was Dusty!  Who definitely remembered me.  Heck, he was calling for me.  I, of course, fed him.  And when I got home last night he was lurking pointedly in the bush next to the door, ditto.  

Tonight I went out to see if he was around, and the first one to turn up when I called was Fluffernutter, who is clearly incubating the next kitten crop (alas).  She too remembered me, but she should; she has to be at least five or six by now, if not older.  And then Dusty turned up too. 

Guess I need to buy more cat food...

A story as only life can write it! That sounds so...magic.

It almost is--Fluffernutter's old for a feral by now.

Nomads, returning from the journey! Rush out there and get that tuna-flavored manna to them, heehee!

Oh, I did. The routine is back as if they never left. :P

Can you do a trap/ spay / release and help stop the kitten crops? I know that's what we do to feral colonies here.

I very much wish I could, but I have a small apartment with an elderly cat of my own, and no car--so nowhere to put them and no way to transport them.

You are the Fuzzaloid Leader of the Pack!

Probably just went south for the winter...

I'm glad that the kitties have survived the winter. You are a good hearted person. I was feeding a feral for a little while but I haven't seen her for awhile. It was such a hard cold winter here I felt like I had to help. I lost one of my indoor cats 2 weeks ago. I really don't know why except that she was an older cat. On tuesday night she was sitting in my lap eating cheese and then the next evening I realized that I hadn't seen her all day. I went looking for her and found her tucked away in a little corner of the basement dead. Her sister is still with us but we are down to 4 when sw used to have 8. I hope the year goes well for you. anne ruhland
