For the last couple weeks we've seen this kitty on the yard cam all during the nights. We've assumed someone wasn't being a good family member to keep her in after dark. Last night Tigger was antsy to go out as we were finishing dinner, and we noticed he'd laid down just a foot or two from her and they were looking at each other calmly. It was not going to be me this time who suggested we see if she was hungry, but in no time, Ken made the suggestion! We set out food that she inhaled, and then another bowl of kibble...that also disappeared, all the while Tigger lay there and watched her! We set out a bowl of water and cleaned up for the evening...and she was gone.
Around noon, she and Tigger were back together again just outside the back door. Again, she ate hungrily. We'll go slow so we don't spook her, but when I can catch her, I'll see if there's more than just her name on her collar. If not, my daughter said to also have her checked for a chip.
She's precious, but I know that if she were my kitty, I'd be desperate to find her! I'll be trying to help and see if we can make that happen!
(I have several photos of her sitting closer by, but I love how cute she looks amongst the garden pots!)
I am laughing as the cats always seem to find you! Hope you find her owners but I think you may have a new addition to the family. It seems Tigger likes her already!
At first I thought that this cat liked night walks. But when she ate everything, she's probably looking for a home. An interesting story. A beautiful shot of your flowery garden.
Stunning! And so kind of you to help and even notice (a lot of folk don't). Here in the UK local rescues will lend out a chip reader, I wonder if worth contacting one in your area? Also, ask around neighbours and the other thing is to make a paper collar with your contact details on it, to see if the kitty does have a home - hopefully an owner will contact you and put your mind at rest. And although people get funny about feeding other people's cats, keep feeding because even if only a chancer, a few extra meals won't harm! I help with strays around my area, just last year alone got 4 into rescue and reunited 2 lost ones, one of which hitched a ride in a car and was quite far from home! Good luck xx
I want this story to have a happy ending so please keep us posted. I love the black cat's eyes. Black cats are really smart and love to play at least that has been my experience. They are also talkative.
She may be yours now :-)
