It's going on 3pm here and all the mountain cats are starting to come
out and line up for me to come feed
feed them. All, except Smokey, who is the oldest cat here and a fine lad,
let me pet them. Luna, the bobtail
has adopted me, my porch, my property and follows my dog Sadie
around. They have reached an live
and let live agreement, as long as
Luna stays outside. The smallest
new member of my porch group is
Tippy, one of the 3 abandoned
kittens. Silver kitten is camping
out with Cheryl and Little Bit I
fear fell prey to a coyote or fox.
Thanks again TC for another
wonderful chapter in Friday's
Felines.
Kittens can also fall prey to owls and if small enough, hawks.
You're right of course and we have a horned owl here flying
the friendly night forest sky.
A good reason to get kittens inside at night. Cats are nocturnal, which makes them natural prey for an owl.
All of up here have covered decks, front and
back, with room underneath for the cats to hunker down. All the
adult cats seem to be wise to the fact of night
predators and my Sadie
raises hell if any come
close. Tippy kitten is
residing under the wheelchair ramp up to
my porch/deck, which
is open underneath for
him/her to come all the
way up under the deck.
Tippy's still too afraid to
let me too close. I'm
working on it. 😉
All the adult cats here,
TC range in age from
3 to 8 years. Bruiser,
who was the king at
15 yrs passed on last
year. None of these cats, except maybe
Luna, have ever been
inside a home. None,
until me, allowed a
human to touch them.
I'm not a threat, even
though in my chair,
I'm very different from
all the others here.😊
