Fight or Flight

What are you up to?

[Editor: I saw Tip catching some rays on the pump house and pulled out the camera. Her reaction was very strange. She is a “friendly” feral, and yet she went into a crouch and was ready to flee. I have taken a number of pictures of her before, but she has never reacted like this.]

Is That A Light

Hurrah!

[Editor: I’m using this Excise rerun because I have been putting all of my non-sleeping time into finishing up the rehab and I can now see the end.]

Role Reversal

Stand Still, Mother!

[Editor: This is Property washing her mother’s face. She is sitting on a phone-book-thick manual to do it, because they are pretty much the same size now. The pair don’t usually get along, so this is unusual.]

The New Boss

What’s that?

[Editor: … definitely not the same as the old boss. Tonto has taken over since her sister passed a while back, but most of the group are not happy about it. She is not a nice a cat. When weaning kittens she really lets them know they are on their own and she wants nothing more to do with them. I have no idea what she was reacting to, possibly a noise, but she was prepared to deal with it forcibly.]

Adapting

Zzz … zzz … zzz

[Editor: Froggie was looking for dry, not comfortable, and a trash can under the eaves of a neighbor’s house, fit the bill.]

Friday Ark

This Is Florida?

The rodent lied!

[Editor: The crew don’t believe the groundhog. We haven’t had snow, but the weather is damp and miserable. There is a stiff North wind that cuts through you when you go outside. I’d rather be in the middle of that pile.]

Friday Ark is back

Wishing & Hoping

Siiiiggghhh…

[Editor: This little guy is watching a squirrel that is about 30 feet up in a water oak. There is zero probability of his catching that squirrel, but hope springs eternal.]

Friday Ark will be back next week

Keeping Up With The Times

Zzz…zzz…zzz…

[Editor: Molly approves of modern conveniences, like heat provided by an electric light. More reliable than the younger generation, and it keeps the concrete pad dry as well as warm.]

Friday Ark is still in Africa

Brave’s New World

Coming through!

[Editor: This is Brave, the tom that belongs to my new neighbors. He is hard to get a picture of because he is constantly in motion outside if there are people around. He has a wonderful pattern, but this picture doesn’t do him justice.]

Table for One

Nom nom nom…

[Editor: This is Tip, who eschews dishes to avoid the crowd at the feeding station. She is only semi-feral, which causes problems within the Family.]

Friday Ark is in Europe

The Cat Who Blinked

Not going to happen…

[Editor: Property still refuses to have a picture taken with her eyes open. It wouldn’t be so bad if she didn’t look like she was grinning.]

Friday Ark

Merry Catmas!

HO! … Ho? … Whatever.

[Editor: Sox, Dot, and Ringo being as merry as they are ever likely to be.]

The Friday Ark is on holiday this week

Always update to the latest version before setting out on long trips, or you might have to stop and ask for directions.

Night Shift

Nom nom nom…

[Editor: This is a Tonto-patterned feral that only shows up at night to eat. The distinctive markings show that this is a “family” member, but she doesn’t hang out with the others.
