We Still have Cats

 Some of you may recall reports on the feral cat population here at the Bad Dog Ranch.  




During winter I leave food out for them.  This cat (aka FFC) is the one I see most frequently partaking of the food.  He sometimes leaves his mark next to the food bowl.  In spite of that, now and then a different cat is spotted visiting the bowl.  





This may be him!  





The notion that inviting feral cats into the inner perimeter would result in fewer mice has not proven to be sound. 





What happened recently might be considered proof.  We got a new refrigerator!  We moved the old one into the garage.  (To store the cat food!)  Naturally, I did some reorganizing and sweeping in the garage prior to this momentous new arrangement.  






Well, the amount of mouse poop sweepings can best be described as deep.





Does that mean no more free lunch for Fluffy Feral Cat and his brethren?







Nah.

  1. Bad Dog Ranch is looking Gud ! The snow is so pretty.
    Is that my favorite duck with the poof on the top of his head ?
    Pima County Animal Shelter has a program where semi feral cats are worked with then adopted out to families that will house feed and care for them and they will take care of the vermin. They will live outside and hopefully help out.
