I am still putting food out for the ferals that hang around my place of employment but for a stretch of a couple of weeks I saw them very rarely. The food was always gone when I checked later in the day so I assumed they were just showing up later than usual. That surprised me because there is a school behind my work and activity increases exponentially after I get there.
One day I saw several birds interested in the food.
I worried that maybe the birds were eating it but I never saw the birds after that so I think that wasn’t normal.
Fortunately, I started seeing more of the feral cats again about two weeks ago. Some days I see only one and not always the same one but other days I see all three like this morning and when I took this video.
Today was a good day because the ginger and white cat was waiting for me when I got there this morning and the bullseye tabby showed up as soon as I brought the food out. Normally she (or he) is pretty shy but I think she is getting used to me.
There is one more cat, a white and black cat that I have not seen for a long time. I hope that one is okay.
I bet they are glad to see you when you show up… even though they may not show it!
I think so Summer but I am also glad to see them.
I am glad you are feeding them. My heart breaks for all ferals and strays, I wish they could all have forever homes.
You and me both.
They are lucky to have met you. Purrs
I am the lucky one. 🙂
Great, they are always hungry. We are feedind two cats, they are used to come to stare the kichen window, and when my husband goes out with food, cats disappear and when he is in cats are already eating. Some birds also come to eat cat food.
That is so nice that you are helping those cats. Where do they go when it is very cold?
They must have some place where they are, here is old houses and I think they live under or in those houses.
Thank you for caring for these kitties. They are very lucky to have you!
Thank you. I enjoy helping them.
I loved this – Spence and I have been caring for a colony of feral cats for many years including providing little shelters. A few will let us pet them and the others will come close. They’ve really come to count on us.
That is very nice of you. We tried making a shelter for a stray cat once when it got pretty cold here but he didn’t want to use it, so we adapted him instead. 🙂
Aaaaaaaaaw they are so purrecious. We just luv da shy little tabby. Fanks fur lookin’ after them.
Luv ya’
Dezi and Lexi
I love the shy tabby too. reminds me of my Abbey, R.I.P.
We’re glad they showed up again and you know they are okay.
Yes, it is always good to see them when I get to work.
Kitty kisses from all of us for taking care of these feral kitties. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
Thanks. 🙂
