He must have slept in Tuesday morning or was prowling around somewhere (he doesn't live here but he's one of my TNR buddies). When I was leaving at 10 a.m. for my 7Eleven Philly Park beer run Sad Face was licking empty breakfast platters and sniffing at the empty tuna & sardine feed trough. He was hungry.

I don't do this for everybody but I went back into the house for a can of Friskies, just for Sad Face. He trotted up to me and did the "flop drop" for a belly rub, which he got. One paw swat and my arm would be shredded and bloody but we trust one another. I served him a good meal which he ate hungrily. I just like him a lot - even when he was an intact fighting tomcat we had a good relationship with peace on both sides.

That was a very nice gesture. :D :D Sad Face has no permanent residence.

Likely avoids the FF crowd at breakfast. Likely starving...not eat in awhile :(

Sad Face stays healthier not pawing through garbage and "bones" for food.
Give him another can! :mrgreen:

He rolls in here at meal time for food on a lot of days. He gets fed and kibble is always out with clean water when it's not raining (rain turns kibble into a mush that the cats won't touch).
