There’s no telling how many cats there are that live out in the woods.
Christmas Eve morning, I was planning to sleep in a little later than normal. Vince went out to feed Cat and let the chickens out. After a few minutes, he came to the bedroom and said “Judy . . come see!” My first thought was . . Speck won’t wake up. I said “Is it Speck?” and he said no. Then I thought . . maybe Santa left something in the driveway a few days early . . so I got up.
Vince walked over to the window and said “What’s that? Is it a little bobcat?”
There was a really big cat headed towards Cat’s food bowl. Cat was eating so I wasn’t sure if we were going to see a cat fight but in the end, Cat ran off and let the big cat start eating. Vince went out and chased the big cat off. It was a bit Siamese colored but darker and long haired and huge.
What was funny was we had just been talking about how much food Cat was eating but now it seems we’re feeding more than Cat.
Cat on Vince’s Car
Vince has been home so much during the holidays that Cat has been sitting on his car lately. I guess she will be surprised when he goes back to work after the holidays and his car is gone again. She’ll be surprised . . I’ll be happy! 🙂
Cat seems to go through days when she’s “needy” and wants to be petted and wants to rub on my legs and then she has days when she stands off and hisses at me if I get near her. Strange little cat!

Cat sounds like a cat my folks had. She would hiss and growl at me and ten minutes she wanted me to pet her. She would not let anyone pick her up and some of my family never saw her. She was very fussy who she came out of hiding for.

How funny! I have visions of a bigger cat food bowl going out there for wildcat.

I have three wonderful cats. One hid for two days while my sons were home for Christmas. Christmas Eve, she spent all morning sleeping under my bed covers.

Ah, yes! The word of your Bed and Breakfast is getting out!

A few years ago we made the mistake of feeding some feral cats and pretty soon we had a deck full. Then they started reproducing and, oh my, what a mess. Finally we caught them in traps and took them to the forest where they could run free but not on our deck. Since then we have only one outside cat who lives with us and we took her to be fixed so there is no reproducing going on here.
