I opened the side door to bring in the water bowl and kibble bowl for a cleaning and a reload. To my surprise some wild-animal feral cats gathered around me. I rubbed up a few (their tails up) while the beloved Nasty Mom stood off to side.
I laid out some platters of premium wet cat food and as usual loaded up the stainless steel big-dog feed dish with cans of tuna and sardines.
Up top from the left is Mr. Orange, Catty Patty, Garfield and all by herself the Nasty Mom. Clockwise from the seafood dinner is the black Tuxedo, Bosco, Ginger and Bristol.
Ginger has been here for a couple of years and this morning she let me pet her for the first time. Jeez, she was born here and gave birth here so it's not like I'm a stranger or a threat to her. She's a crafty survivor though. Not one cat in this photo can have kittens or make any.
