Walter and Boomer are appearing on the game camera during overnight hours. At least, I think it’s Boomer. Walter is easy to discern. Boomer, not so much. It’s more that there’s a cat that isn’t Walter or Junior or Sneaky of one of the sundry other periodic visitors, and it … Continue reading →
Is anything new? Maybe. I’ve detected one, maybe two different cats on the game camera. One cat is decidedly different, but it has markings similar to Daphne’s. The other cat may be Boomer, but I can’t really tell. Boomer had a large head and shoulders, and this cat doesn’t seem … Continue reading →
I haven’t seen Walter for a week. I’m going to have to put the game camera out to catch him. Before I trapped him to get him neutered, he would lounge on the porch (but dart away if we came near). I miss him. He mostly comes by in the … Continue reading →
For the past couple of nights, when I pick up the water bowl and bring it back to the cage full, Daphne has been inside waiting for it, and Lady has not been far behind. I put the fresh water down, close the door behind me with both cats inside, … Continue reading →
The game camera captured Boomer on the move, and you can really see his undercoat — I had to do double-take, because I thought it was Sneaky for a minute from the coloration. Can you see a coloration similarity? (They are clearly different cats.) Walter has a very similar outer … Continue reading →

It turns out we have a third cat eating from our feeder. How did we discover this? Mr. L thought he saw Sneaky under the trailer in the driveway, but she was on the back porch. Oh, that must be Walter. No. Walter is on the side porch steps. There’s … Continue reading →
Big Gray was too smart to be caught in the trap. He’d steal the bait by carefully lifting it off the trigger pad with his paws. I had to think of something else, because he’s too skittish to hang around and make friends with. I borrowed a wooden shingle from … Continue reading →
Yes, this means another cat has stepped up to share Sneaky’s feeder with her. Big Gray, the cat who only seemed to show up for the coldest of weather, has returned. He’s been here for three days now, and the food is no longer lingering in the outside feeder. He … Continue reading →
I brought my five back with me from San Antonio yesterday, and Mr. L had his four here. Everyone seemed fine. We were going to leave Lady out overnight, because she’s been very mellow lately, but I stood up from working on the puzzle around 8:30 pm and walked into … Continue reading →
