Slumming

What was that?

[Editor: This little juvenile has been by a couple of times. I think she is getting out and having a walkabout. She avoids the ferals. She wondered what the flash was, as I wondered why the camera thought it was necessary.]

A Tourist

Nom..Nom..Nom.

[Editor: This fluffy orange tabby tom showed up for a nosh. He's been here a couple of days. The feral females won't let another female hang around, but the toms don't care as long as new toms don't get in a dominance battle.]

Lap Warmer

You need a bigger lap.

[Editor: Sox is a very welcome addition as the weather has again turned cold down here. It would be nice if he were smaller or lighter, but he is definitely warm.]

She’s Back

Go away, I’m eating!

[Editor: Molly holes up somewhere when it's cold, so I was looking for her to be back on Thursday and she arrived extra hungry. Actually, she followed me around and this is the third place she ate. She is at least twice as old as any of the other ferals.]

Cold Weather Sleeping

How does she do that?

[Editor: Income is attempting to emulate the circle of his Aunt Dot, but is stuck with a pike position. The flash highlights the lighter guard hairs]

The Lone Ranger 2003-2010

She was the alpha female for the ferals. I knew something was wrong last Spring when she didn’t have any kittens, having consistently produced two every season. She has been getting thin lately, and was probably taken by a respiratory infection.

Tacky Driveway

You looking at me?

[Editor: Adolf is becoming a very big cat. Some of it is his winter coat, but there's muscle underneath. The falling camphor berries are tacky and this is next to the driveway...]

Sunset Driveway

I’m ready for my close-up.

[Editor: I was looking for Adolf when Lucrezia decided to pose. Alas the flash went off as the light was marginal due to the overcast. It was sunset and she is in the driveway...

Washing Up

Rasp, rasp, rasp, rasp…

[Editor: Lucrezia grooming in anticipation of dinner.]

He Moves

Meow, meow, meow, meow…

[Editor: Yes, a new picture of Vinnie moving about to stay warm. I didn't see any snow early this morning but it was drizzling all evening into the night. They are expecting wind chills near zero and I believe it. Before the rain it got up to 60°, but we won't see that again until some time next week.

He Sings

Meow, meow, meow, meow…

[Editor: I'm using an old picture of Vinnie because the batteries died as I was attempting to take a new one. Vinnie talks to me, which is very unusual for the ferals, The toms will howl at each other, but few of them actually vocalize at all. When I'm feeding them in the afternoon, Vinnie wanders around making normal cat meows. Oh, he still considers me the ax murderer, but meowing is odd behavior for the "pride".
