So many questions....

It's been over three weeks now since we have seen Chatter.  I know he was happy here, he had everything. Lots of food, clean fresh water every day. My porch with bamboo screens down and ceiling fans going on hot humid days. The company of my other cats, and they all seemed to get along. 

Did he get hit by a vehicle, attacked by a dog or dogs, perhaps coyotes. They come out at night and you can hear them howling in the woods.

What ever the case, I know I'll keep watching out  for him for awhile longer before I stop. It's not fair for a cat to come into your home and into you heart and then leave.

                                                  

It's August And It's Hot

Not much to tell you these days. It's hot and humid and my cats just want to drink lots of water and sleep. Chatter has made himself at home with us and that's just the way it is. He is on my porch early every morning chatting away loud and often to let me know he's here and hungry. I still put his food on the porch and after he eats he comes in the house and wonders around a little then goes back out. He lets us pet him and rubs on your hand with his head if you don't pet him. He still goes off into the woods at night but it is getting later and later now when he leaves.

My camera broke so it will be awhile before I have any new pictures of him to post.

Where is She?

The stray didn't show up today and the girls and I had many questions. Did it get hit by a car, eaten by a coyote which we have many around here in the woods. I hear them howling late at night if I'm up late enough. Has it found another home that's leaving food, could be anything. It was a no show all day so I brought the food back in my house.

The next morning I let my cats out and Dixie ran half way down the yard and just sat for an hour looking into the woods. I'm sure she was watching for the stray. Little Girl sat on my porch railing for quite some time staring towards the woods. The next day, Sunday the same behavior from my girls, Little Girl watching the woods from our porch railing and Dixie running down the yard stopping in the same place and peering into the woods. Again, no show. What I find very interesting  Is that the pan of cat food is on the chair on my porch and yet neither of my cats will eat it. They know it's their yet they scratch on the door to come in and eat from the other dish of food in the house. It's Monday morning and this is the start of the day. This is new, sweet, and kinda sad, they are both at the woods edge looking for the stray. Wonder if it will show up today?

What Have I Started !

>This stray cat is quite vocal, as I wheeled myself into the living room this morning I heard the stray meowing. I knew it was the tan and white stray because every time I hear that familiar meow I see her. I pulled back the drape and there she was, sitting their looking in my sliding glass door. Pulling back the drape didn't frighten her at all surprised me. I got the pan of cat food and put it on the chair on my porch as I always do now. She went right to the porch,  jumped up on the chair and began to eat. I guess we now have a morning routine, that's nice. Why the "What Have I Started" . I went out on the porch to get the pan of cat food after the stray had finished and left and low and behold, a black cat with a white tipped tail ran out from under my porch and into the woods it went....what have I started.
