It's pretty cold, this morning, so I wanted to check to see if the breakfast crowd had arrived

[Siwsan]

I looked out the den window and got the answer to my question. Sweet Scooter (Carys' mom) was patiently waiting in the Day Lily bed. Everyone else was waiting by the bowls.

1. What a beauty!

I love your kitty posts.

[Siwsan]

2. Scooter is the last survivor of the first litter to appear in my yard, about 4 years ago

Her mom's name is Skittish and she is still showing up.

15. Oh I love her!

So grateful for your care of all of the kitties!

3. Pretty girls...

Surely they are healthy and not starving thanks to your devotion to them.

4. Scooter is lovely

5. Scooter looks like she has a mane,

but not as big as the one on Lush. Wonder if Scooter and Lush are related.

[Siwsan]

7. She is just VERY fluffy.

She still lets me get in an occasional scritch and I can stand right next to her when she eats. The other ferals are getting much more comfortable, too. They all start eating while I'm filling the empty bowls.

As soon as it warms up, I'm going to try sitting on the other side of the walk way while they eat.

11. Since cats mate indiscriminately, and since

female ferals are pregnant often, the cats in a feral colony are probably all related to each other to some degree.

[Siwsan]

13. No doubt that is true!

Carys's facial markings are VERY similar to Lush's. Of course, Lush is a very recent addition to the group.

14. Lush is recent to your home for feeding. But he/she might

have been hanging out somewhere in the neighborhood and only recently joined your group for meals. The ones who come to your house for feedings might be a part of a larger colony.

9. This has been such an adventure

Watching Madoc grow from a tiny, scrawny kitten to the big plush boy he is, today. Arthur being such a sweet boy. Gryff settling in as if he'd been with me since birth, and FINALLY winning Carys' trust. Wow.

And slowly winning the trust of the outdoor babies is so amazing. They are all such gifts.
