Find the cat :)

Was that a solar power motion activated light?

Yep, still is actually. I took it down because it quit working. Then I tore it apart, cleaned up the switch and battery contacts, charged the battery and viola! When I fix this stuff, I usually give it at least 3 days to be sure before I put it back up. What appeared to be breakage was simply the light popping off of the mount.

She talks a lot. Not much in the video, more just for her talking as she left.

 

[bigredfish]

Yep, we've got 3 and one is chatty as hell. Can't shut her up

 

[JNDATHP]

Molly, the one we have left, is also very chatty. Sometimes it seems as if we are really having a conversation!

 

[bigredfish]

Of course, I always talk with my cats

 

[bigredfish]

I just re-read that and dont want @JNDATHP to get the wrong idea that I was mocking him, i DO talk with my cats......... Two of them talk back

............... 3 months plus of being here for multiple meals a day every single day, but she never stopped wanting to be an outside cat. One time as I was putting food out for her, she accidentally walked past me in to the house and had an absolute terrified/panic attack when she figured out where she was. I carefully(!!!) herded her back outside. Last time on a cam was 11:41pm last night walking down the road. No traffic, so there's that but... I'm not too optimistic at this point.... Bummed...

Hopefully she’ll be back

 

[johnfitz]

Bummed...

me too... for now.. she'll be back

So.... over the past year to three years, I've tracked 4 feral cats on my cams. They never came very close except for under the deck. This was the tan one this afternoon:



This is the white one tonight:



What the heck! This has not happened prior to today......

 

[johnfitz]

last night my cat said meow where's the ham... I said its Ash Wednesday we're not eating meat today... she said I'm a cat not a cat-o-lick...I gave her the ham

 

[Ssayer]

Yes! After not being around for 30 some hours (didn't get a hit from a single cam), guess who showed up for breakfast? When I opened up the door blinds, she danced all over the place, then she ate more than usual until her belly was full and also had a good amount of water. Finally, she went right back to bed. She definitely fooled me with this one because I was seriously thinking that she'd ended up as some other critter's meal.


Oh! That feral white cat slept in the shelter until 1:31am.

 

[97JeepXJ]

We’re up to four, not one has done so much as stuck their head in the house though

 

[Ssayer]

A little bit of catnip on/in the circular opening and then a little tossed just inside is what got mine started going in.

 

[CanCuba]

That's right, I'm a cat, so... what's your point??

Typical cat. Zero f*cks given.

 

[johnfitz]

Typical cat. Zero f*cks given.

Yea, but they are cute little f*ckers.

 

[Ssayer]

Definitely that last word there @johnfitz ... Last night, a cam caught that big white male cat and the female that we feed taking care of business. With summers spent on a farm in my younger days, I already knew the drill but... first thing my wife thought was that they were fighting (because that's what it usually looks like). Then she thought it was non-consensual (because that is also what it usually looks like). Even after I explained it to her, she still had to google it

 

[Ssayer]

Haha, find the cat...

Tough one today. I would say middle bottom of picture between the wooden ramp and the bush.

 

[Ssayer]

Yep, and it's a rose bush. She buried herself in even further. This is her right now:
