The Feral Cats

The two feral cats Into the backyard Stepping on the deck They stared inside Then slowly waked by Watching the glass door One cat looks angry The other is calm I've given them names One is Romeo The other Patches They come often

Nice of you to feed these poor cats. My mom has 15 of them and dropped off by people in town who do not want them. It gets expensive to feed them and the vet bills to fix them. Luckily she lives on an acreage to accommodate them all. Have a great weekend. love phyl

May God bless you for feeding these poor cats. They never asked to be feral. Be careful though if you live in an area where there are fleas as feeding them so close to your abode can bring fleas to your d yard and your other cat friends. I had to treat my cats with an oral flea medicine as well as their topical this season here.

Hello Panagiota, Sparkles sends kisses to Iren. I do not feed these feral cats. I just let them be. They stare insdie the patio door then go their way. I miss them. They will come again when they are ready. Hugs.

By the way, feral cats know how to live on their own totally. All I did was made sure they had water. I did not feed them, against residency rules. Cats love to eat mice. Pure protein for them. Irene just yawned and sent Sparkles her best…))) Pangie

They sound like fun to have around, they might be a couple and and will want you to organize a special day for them. We had an incident in the Estate we are living in - 3 women were running after a feral kitten, it ran under our stationary car, but one woman lay down by the side of the car to pull it out, silly, because the kitten latched onto hr hand with its teeth and its claws. She had to have a rabies injection and stitches. hope you are well, hugs and blessings,Jennifer.

Hello Jennifer, yes maybe they do want me to organize a special day for them. The woman should have left the kitten alone. if she would have left it aline she would not have to have injections. Hugs. I am well thankyou. I hope you are to.

Hello Demetros, yes it is. They come often to the patio door looking inward. My cat does not notice them yet. I woner what would happen if she did notice them. Enjoy your day my dear friend.

Probably best not to feed them Darlene, they might have kittens nearby, and can be quite mean, but ok to observe from a distance, take care, cheers
