Another Mess

During the cold winter we had two walk on cats. One has disappeared but the other was living under the dutch barn. Yes, I could not stand seeing the cat in the cold so I began to feed him. At first, I would leave dry food on the boat trailer fender so it would stay dry and be up high enough that Maggie would not eat the food.



Since there were two cats at first, I named them Moe and Larry. Well Larry is no longer with us but Moe has gotten to accept me as a food source. When he came up on the bottom back porch, I approached him with a can of moist food. He let me stand near him as he ate. Next few days I did not see him but continued to put out dry food. Then he appeared under the box bush and I took a can out and fed him again. This time I put my hand down and he smelled my fingers and let me rub him on his head. Last evening he came as I yelled "Moe, Moe, here kitty kitty. " and it was from the direction of the dutch barn . Maggie wants to chase him and I keep telling her that no one wanted him and he was cold and hungry.

I know I fed him so now he is mine but I could not let him starve.

The kitty justice is to get him tame enough to take him to the vet to check him out.
