This guy is now quite the regular.
The way that patch of colour is on his nose, it sometimes looks like it’s injured and swollen. Nope. Just a splotch of colour.
It’s kind of funny to see this guy in the pile of kittens. They’re pretty much adult size now, but not quite there, yet. Then there’s Nicky. :-D Interesting that they’ve accepted him like that.
While working in my office this morning, our Mama cat started getting all agitated, and going up to the window. That’s when I realized I was hearing a low growling noise from outside.
This is what we saw.
It’s a dad-cat standoff!
No wonder our Mama wasn’t happy!
I’ve never seen this cat before, though I think the girls have.
This is the one that showed up in the sun room, one day. :-D
It should be interesting to see how things pan out with these two, over the winter!

While getting photos of the birds, I saw Jim at the base of the planter and started taking pictures of him, as well.
Then The Outsider came through from the other side and posed!
It looks like The Outsider has moved right in with our cats. It seems a bit odd that a lone kitten would show up like this. It may be from a neighboring farm, but in that case, I would expect it to go home and only show up once in a while. Alternatively, he may have been abandoned; something that still happens, unfortunately.
Whatever the reason, we are happy to have him, and so are the other kittens!
Then we have our other visitors. Like this guy.
It seems to now be a pretty sure thing that this is “dad cat”, that the girls would sometimes see while raking the yard. We’d never really seen his face before, so no one recognized him when he showed up in the sun room a while back. He’s coming closer to the house more often, and not just to quickly grab some food, and we’ve been able to get a better look at him and his rather distinctive face markings!
There is a grey cat that also comes around. The grey and Dad Cat got into a big and nasty fight under our living room window a few days back.
I would not be surprised if we find ourselves with more kittens in the not too distant future. :-/
