Mr. Kibble, this morning. He came around, but didn't seem very hungry; it's hard to know the reason. But he sat there and looked at us. The other two were sleeping in different rooms, so my brother closed them in and then he propped open the back screen door.
Thank you, Clare. :) We really have a liking for him, and it's rather sad to think of a cat living on his own like that. But I don't know if he is ever coming to come in - because he won't let you touch him, we couldn't have him examined! And living outside like this, it's probable he has something which would make him have to be isolated from the other two - it would be difficult. But, we'll see!
Seeing him there in your doorway reminded me of the stray cat that used to visit us nearly every evening one summer. We left food out for her and named her Midnight. Towards the end of the season, we began to move the food bowl closer to the back door, then we left the door open, then finally we brought the bowl just inside the door, and she came in! But, I made the mistake of closing the door too early, and Lisa, she went WILD. I never knew cats could jump so high. We opened the door back up as quickly as we could. Midnight ran out and never returned. :( Oh, well! I learned an important lesson though about time and patience with cats.
I will remember this, Susan, if he should ever really come into the house. We haven't tried it since. But it's good to know that he might react violently, out of fear of confinement.
so funny/odd! God be with all animals!
ReplyDeleteAmen! We are glad he's getting more used to us. I don't know where it will all lead - we'll see. :)
DeleteIt's up to him now. How kind you and your brother are, Lisa!
