Since my last post on the subject, I have seen the feral cat that has been eating the food I put out at work two or three more times. It is strange that I put food out for a month or more without seeing who was eating it, but now I see him almost every day I am at work. I call it “him” because it sounds better than “it” but I don’t know the sex of the cat. I know there have been other cats in the area. One even looks like a skinny Chris, but they have either moved on or are much shyer than my new friend.
The last time I pulled into the driveway at work, he was nearby. It almost seemed like he was waiting for me. I quickly went inside for the cat food, put a handful in the usual place, backed away to a safe distance, set my camera to “video” mode and waited for him to move to the food, but he didn’t move. He stood there waiting for me to leave. It was just as well. The camera lens had fogged up due to leaving the air condition truck to the warm, humid Florida outdoors.
I walked inside my work and wiped the fog off the camera lens. I then looked out the door to see he was no longer in sight. I walked outside and quietly walked to the edge of the building while zooming out the telephoto lens. I peeked around the corner and saw him eating the food I put out. I then pointed the camera in his direction and got off a couple of shots. I even made a noise so he would turn around and look. People driving by must have thought I was some weird voyeur or something.
I can’t wait to see if he is waiting for me on Monday. Maybe I should bring him a treat like sardines or something. What do you think?
and he is already ear tipped….glad you are taking an interest in him and we bet he would love a treat
Thanks. I hope I see him Monday.
We’re sure he’d love sardines! It looks like his ear is tipped. Do you think he’s part of a colony that is being managed by someone else?
I think he might be. He doesn’t look malnourished.
yep, I’d go for sardines ^^
Me too.
oh yes I bet he would LOVE sardines!! He sure does love YOU!
I think everyone agrees.
Another yes to sardines. He looks like he deserves a treat, although don’t all cats?
Our cats get too many treats so he should get at least one.
He is a cutie! Yes, you should bring him a treat.
I think it is unanimous.
Of course, you know I think you should bring him a treat! And yes, he was waiting for you – feral kitties soon learn where the good eatin’ is. 😉
That’s good. Maybe I’ll see him tomorrow.
Sardines sounds… yummy ! Irresistible ! Purrs
Glad you agree.
Sardines!!! They would be yummy!

Looks like everyone loves sardines. Thanks Nellie.
Bring him tuna or fancy feast, and you’ll have a furiend fur life!!😺
A vote for tuna. Another good option. 🙂
Do that and believe me, you will inherit a kat!😺
Sardines are very good for cats. Better than tuna. I say try it, the little “guy” would probably welcome such a delicacy! He’s very cute! I hope you see the kitty again,
I have read sardines are better than tuna for humans because of the mercury. I have also read that seafood may not be good for cats. have you heard anything about that?
Funny you should ask…please read the below blog entry that I wrote in April, which reveals what I learned about fish and cats–basically fish is not good for them–you’ve heard right. It is one of the most allergic foods they can eat–but read on and get a good laugh too. http://catladyinthecanyon.com/2015/04/21/from-cat-tales-to-fish-tails/
I’m embarrassed to say that it was your post that I was referring to but I didn’t remember it was you who wrote it.
Are you going to eventually try to TNR the kitty?
