Feather?

Midask9 Apr 09, 2003 01:04 PM

Well, one of my feral boys is back!!! I looked out the door today at the lack of snow (its melting!!), and thought I saw a feather stuck in the sidewalk, right outside the door. I thought....a feather???? So I got closer to the door, and reallized that the feather, had a body attached to it, and rather than being a feather, it was a cat tail, swishing while one of the feral boys groomed himself in the warm sun. I am sooo happy, my ferals are returning (well, at least one!) He was laying there like he belonged here, as if he owned the house. I am sure he heard me moving around inside, but never even flinched. I rushed in, and opened a can of food for him, figuring it would be a great "Welcome Home" gift. Then I quietly opened the door, and *POOF* off he went across the yard to hide. I set the plate out near where he was sunning himself, and will check on it to see if he comes back. I just hope one of the neighbors dogs doesn't eat it, there are a few that roam about our country roads...all are owned, but all roam (except mine, I am too "city minded" to trust my dog running about in strange places unsupervised). Just wanted to let everyone know :D

Hmmm....odd..I missed it too. But it's good news and it;s never too late to get good news. So Terri, is the kitty still hanging around? I know we worry alot when any of our colony dwellers disappears.

Nope, hasn't been back, I think I really spooked him when I opened the door and ruined his sunning time . I am sure he hasn't gone far, I just need to be persistent and give them some inviting areas that the wandering dogs won't find!! (Darn neighbor dogs...anyone around here ever heard of a leash or a fence??)
