In other news...I am feeding a mysterious one eared black cat. My neighbor leaves food out for strays so I think she is technically hers but she looked quite scraggly like she's never been indoors or groomed and was a bit wobbly. We have a couch in the front yard at the moment and she is always draped across it. She will let me near her as long as it's about five feet away and I don't make any sudden movements. I rigged a food bowl that couldn't get touched by the neighborhood dogs where she likes to hang out on the couch. I also took her out a bowl of water which she devoured. The neighbor that feeds strays and is also a veterinary technician is going through some relationship problems and has been leaving a lot for personal time away and I wonder if this stray is suffering for it? She just looks like a black DLH to me. I assume it's a she, I don't know why, maybe I'm wrong. I'm also very curious how she got to only have one ear. It looks completely healed so it must be an old story. I did get a lot of staring with the slow blink thing. That was nice, if I recall correctly that means "I trust you" and I mimicked it back. I'm not planning on having another cat. At this point though I feel compelled to feed and water her and sit by her on the couch once in a while and stare at the trees. It is a bit of a stress reliever actually with everything else I have going on to just go out and hang with her. It's been hot lately and I found her later laying under our trailer in the shade. I haven't seen her today since K got home. Maybe because the dogs are louder in the backyard today due to the excitement and we've had some visitors which is unusual. I kind of miss her and hope she's okay.

I always think cats know when they are required. She knew you would benefit from a little 'me time' and that is what she has given you. Hope she turns up again for you. |

I want to earn its trust so I can make sure its alright, whether it has an owner or not. Today the food bowl was knocked over by the wind. I need to create a better solution for a bowl that is up off the ground away from neighborhood dogs but on top of the sofa so a weak kitty could eat. Ideas?? |

She sounds so sweet and in need of your loving care and affection, I am quite sure that you will work something out for her feeding arrangements, it sounds like you do both need each others company  . |

Well, I saw her the other day on my neighbor's front porch hanging out with her dog so I guess it's her cat. Thing is she came by begging for food yesterday and I could hear the neighbor had guests and was having some kind of party. It makes me wonder how well she is taking care of her but then the other part of me says it's none of your business. I will continue to make friends with her and she is welcome anytime at my front door...even if she's "on loan"  |
