The feral cats are getting bigger and bolder. They are getting so well fed these days that they now refuse to eat any tinned cat food.
W
hen we first started to feed them, they would eat anything, scrambling madly for the food, even knocking each other out of the way. Now they sniff the food first – if it’s chicken or ham or some such feast they eat it. If it’s anything out of a tin, except for tuna or sardines, they sniff disdainfully, throw me a withering look and amble away, insulted.
I still think they are amazing. Hubby still doesn’t. He thinks they should be thankful for every morsel that they get. As you can probably tell from that, he doesn’t know a lot about cats!
I told hubby I was in the garden shooting the cats and that I got some lovely shots. Hubby said he would be delighted if that was the case. My four year old son got upset until I explained that Daddy was only joking and I was actually taking shots with my camera! Tee Hee!
