Chatter Got Hurt!

Chatters routine has been pretty much the same every day except yesterday morning. I looked for her early in the morning and she was on my porch table holding her right paw up. I got her pan of food and she barley was able to get up on the chair to eat it. She definitely has injured her right ankle or foot. I pray that she didn't break it. I would not hesitate to take her to the vet but the problem would be how to catch  her in order to take her to the vet. 
She ate and I thought she would go to the other chair and sleep some as is her routine but no, she hobbles off the chair, goes down the cats ramp and slowly wanders off into the woods. Whats all that about !

The cats ramp? I had it made for Little Girl and that will be posted tomorrow. I looked for Chatter last evening when the sun started to go down. Got little done what with my going back and forth from bedroom where my TV and computer are to the living room to look out the large window. No sign of Chatter. I wondered why she would go into the woods and stay their all night with such an injured leg. She can hardly walk so how would she be able to get away from a wild dog, a wild cat, or the coyotes that are their. I wish I could get into my cats heads because of the strange things they do. I really needed another cat to worry about, shame on her....shame on me.

Well I worried for nothing, their she was in her chair this morning. She heard me and saw me in the window. She jumped off the chair, came to the window and just looked at me. I placed her pan of food on the chair and hurried back into the house to watch her get on the chair to eat. She did just fine,  the injured leg didn't even seem to bother her. When she was done eating she jumped off the chair and walked over to her sleeping chair without even a limp, curled herself up in a little ball and went to sleep. Wonderful, life is good.

A Name For The Stray!

He or she is on my deck and porch every day. Usually it comes out of the woods between 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and jumps on my porch and goes to the waiting pan of food on the chair. He or she them goes to the other chair, washes itself and then falls asleep for awhile. Later all three of the cats roam around the yard, chase after bugs and butterflies,  or sleep sleep sleep on my porch railings  floor or chairs. When the sun starts to go down the stray walks down into the woods and as far as I know stays away all night. I really wish I could follow him or her so I could see just where the cat stays all night. I also wonder if the cat will  eventually stay on my porch all night, time will tell. I have named the stray Chatter. That's just what she does along with her meowing she talks a lot, she looks right at me and chatters. It works well for a male or a female so Chatter it is. 

                                                              

We're Settled in Now

Good Day Friends !

I can almost count on it, the stray cat is I'm thinking no longer a stray. Every morning when I go out to my living room after feeding my cats and look out the window the stray is sleeping on the other chair on my porch. He or she looks up at me and lowers her head and goes back to sleep. When I first starting putting the cat food out the cat would go right over to it and start eating. Now she or he doesn't even go to the food until a bit later in the morning. I guess she's not starving anymore. I can tell she has gained a little weight too.

Guess What !

The stray came back after staying away for a day. At about eight in the morning as I was getting my coffee I heard her meowing and making funny noises. I know her meow so I knew it was her before I pulled back the drape. The funny noises I can't explain, it's like a chattering if that makes sense. Their she was staring right at the glass door. She didn't run away as I opened the drape either, that's nice. I got the pan of food and placed it on the same chair she is used to on my porch and went back to getting my most needed cup of coffee. I had my camera ready on my kitchen bar in case I saw her again and got a shot of her leaving my deck to go over to my porch where the food was. Here she is up close and moving quickly.
