After all the tough beats and lost photos on opening day at Saratoga I was on a mission to gather up all the nickel empties at my house to replenish the pony bankroll. The wife was in some shortie jammies with no bra on so I had no place to grope for some great greenbacks.

On a serious note I laid out some great food for the feral cats. Nasty Mom (born here, doesn't live here, mother of Ginger) was laid up between houses across the street but when I began to make my trips outside with fresh cool water and kibble on a hot day she made a trip to trot up my driveway. That's her on the upper right eating all by herself. Just to her left is her orange grandson Bosco and her granddaughter Catty Patty.

Lower down in the photo are four cats feeding on huge chunks of canned chicken packed in water. Tails up in happiness and "feeling good" are the black tom Tuxedo and the orange tom Garfield. They trot up to me for rubs and pettings when I'm outside. The other two with the "tortoise" coats are the females Ginger and Bristol and yeah they're related.

Every cat in this photo has been neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed and fed well since the day it first showed up at my house.

She gets hissy once in a while but she gets swatted, especially by her daughter Ginger and her grandson Garfield.

She mostly eats alone though and everybody likes it that way.
