Ginger let me take his picture this morning! π

He so loves his morning skritches!
Outside, I had an avalanche of kitties come out when the kibble trays were filled.

Too funny, how Nosencrantz is fully in the pan. π She stayed with her cousins this morning, rather than dining with her mom and sibling in their usual spot under the shrine.
Potato Beetle is also in the photo, on the left. Ginger’s outside siblings, Nutmeg and Creamsicle Baby, seem to have been driven away by him, completely. They disappeared soon after Potato Beetle returned. I do hope they’ve found another home on a nearby farm.
Nicky the Nose is another one was haven’t seen in ages. He’s not one of ours; he was here for the food and the ladies quite often, but I haven’t seen him in a couple of months. Which I don’t mind too much, since he was not only going for the ladies, but fighting with the boys. Rolando Moon is another one we haven’t seen in a long time, but she typically disappears for weeks at a time. She was always pretty mean to the other cats, and more recently, they’d been increasingly aggressive towards her, so I wouldn’t be surprised if she decided to stay wherever else she’s been staying when not here.
The outside cat population is always pretty transient!

As I’ve dramatically reduced the amount of wet food outdoor feedings,the qty of “guest cats” has dramatically declined. I think Sylvester might also be chasing them off…but he’s MIA today.
I found a roughly 3″Γ3″ piece of dried animal skin with fur yesterday and was pretty freaked out till verifying all my strays were okay. I think it’s a chunk of raccoon fr9m when neighbordog got out and fought the sick coon.

You give them wet cat food??? Gosh, that’s expensive!
It is rather disconcerting to find fur remains like that, that’s for sure.

I didn’t mind wet food when it only took 3 cans. But the last wet dinner was 8 cans, plus 2 for indoor cats, and that’s too much! I run out of paper plates so that also slowed things down.

Eight! Wow.
Our indoor cats share 3 cans. The outside cats get to hunt rodents for us. π
