I might have to put cat food on my shopping list. It looks like I have a
regular customer. I've sporadically been feeding this little gray cat (kitten?) with big, bushy foxtail. I look out for her(?) now. I fed her last night, and she is on her second helping this morning, haha. Lots of sweet little "mews" going on - pretty cool that she allows me to get kinda close to her already. I was never a cat person. I've been missing out.

but then the coyotes moved through the area. They got down to 2 or 3 cats after that.

befriended and fed this beautiful little kitten, and was all set to trap her and take her in to get neutered, but she was struck and killed by a car the night before I was going to kidnap her. I found her on the highway when I was walking the dogs. A sad day, for sure.
I will try my best with this one, too. If there is a concerted effort, this problem can be solved. A lot of people are on the case here in the Keys, thankfully. Miami, not so much. The shelter I will get the trap from told me people from Miami dump kittens on them regularly in the middle of the night. I don't know how they know it's Miami people - Keys people blame Miami people for a lot of our woes, justified or not.

My wife decided she like the new one that came around a month later. He is letting me get real close and follows me to the horse barn and sits just outside it.

To work. To kill mice around the barn and the corn bin.

Seems to me that cats simply allow humans the "privileges" of providing food and the occasional brief encounter. There is a cat in our neighborhood that roams pretty freely, and I'm fairly certain multiple families think she is "their" cat.

I was never a cat person either, but I've come to adore our neighborhood cat. She's really the only cat that I've ever had any sort of bond with.

500lbs of bird seed stacked on a chair for the chickens consumption. You win by a mile.
