A black cat was out back on the deck this weekend checking things out and I thought it was Tuxedo but Garfield was up on a cat condo all tensed up and Bosco was crouched behind the Bar-B-Q glaring. It couldn't have been Tuxedo since Garfield is his brother and Bosco is his nephew and they're tight.

Monday morning there was no wind and it had warmed up to 19 degrees so I laid out platters of wet cat food. I saw a black cat galloping along the sidewalk to get to my house and I thought it was unusual that Tuxedo was not out back. But Tuxedo was at the bottom of the steps waiting for me.

There's a new black cat coming here for food. He or she is smaller than Tuxedo and the bride says she thinks it's got a white dot on its chest like Tuxedo. The regular crew had a hearty breakfast and then the black cat came from under the car to eat. It'll be interesting to see how things work out as even cats in a small colony are very territorial.

Aw...likely hungry. Must be really hungry to come onto your property with the FF in residence.

And on Tuesday morning when I stepped out to retrieve my newspaper delivery Nasty Mom was sitting in the driveway. She just gave me that glare that means she's hungry. Moments later I had warm water, kibble and platters of wet cat food and tuna and sardines moving out the side door. A huge cat crew got well fed - Ginger, Bristol, Garfield, Mr. Orange, Nasty Mom, Tuxedo, Bosco and Catty Patty. And when Sad Face shows up I'll feed him too.

Sad Face was here for dinner and actually liked the back rub I gave him. Yeah, Garfield and Tuxedo became a bit jealous so I rubbed them up too.
