It was 16 degrees when I laid out platters of microwaved wet cat food, warm water and some cans of tuna and sardines doused in heated water. The cats looking left are watching the super girl Ginger paw-swat her mother Nasty Mom who thinks she can just show up to eat everything.



Ginger bunks someplace else but she's here for most meals and is a tough cat. She doesn't let me pet her but she's a sweetheart with her kids and cousins. And the orphans she nursed when her sister Emily couldn't do it.

And no matter how she behaves, Nasty Mom always catches good meals here. Somebody nearby is feeding and providing shelter to Ginger. I'm not the only cat clown in the neighborhood.

Ginger inherited "Nasty Mom's" survival instincts...tough!

Likely Mom Cat is related to Nasty Mom too. W/O "attitude" none of their progeny would likely survive!

Nasty Mom likely bunks elsewhere...but eats w/ family. Cats don't overeat...so it is likely Nasty Mom was very hungry when she showed up
for dinner. The FF crew eat at least 2x a day, every day...and I doubt Nasty Mom has the same routine...
