Mystery solved
As you probably know, I run a little kitty cafe for the neighborhood
cats here. (Rocky is self-appointed maitre d', and usually sits in the lawn chair and watches the comings and goings.) I fill the bowl when Rocky comes in for the night. All the cats around here have homes now, thankfully no more ferals, so they're not really hungry and there's usualy still food in the morning. For the past week the bowl has been empty in the morning. I've been wondering if we might have new ferals, a newly abandoned pet, or perhaps just some kittens growing up who are shy and I haven't seen yet. Just solved the mystery. It's a wild newby, seemed kind of shy, fully grown... possum. The new guy waddled off as soon as I got up from the computer and walked towards the door. Our last possum was a lot bolder - would come up to the bowl with me on the other side of the glass door a couple feet away. This was back before LB moved in. We had a complex kitty, Spot, who slept around - I think he just slept in whichever apartment was offereing the best dinner. One night I was sitting in the recliner with the sliding door opened, hoping that Spot would be coming to dinner and spending the night. The old possum waddled in and proceeded to explore the apartment. A neighbor finally trapped and relocated him several years back. Rocky was caught in the trap set for the possum and spent several hours in it, which is why I had such a hard time catching him later on. He won't get near anything that looks like a trap. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |

The last one we had was pretty peaceable with the cats. If he starts causing trouble with the neighbors, there's a lady named Yolanda Braden who is a wildlife rehabber over there. I'm thinking about calling her about a squirrel problem we're having. Someone on the block turned loose a pet squirrel in town, and our tenants are having trouble. It keeps "attacking" their daughter. Just to play, but the poor thing is going to get killed somehow I'm afraid. Sherry Sherry |
