Night Cats

 I saw a new cat briefly in my backyard a couple days ago.  

 

So I set up my game cam that night, to see who is coming through. I haven't seen Bob in awhile.  I wondered if he would show.

Next morning, its exciting to go get the game cam and download the contents of the card.  No wandering wolverines, thank goodness.

The black tux new cat was on it.   He'd also shown up atop my cat yard yesterday, running the permimeter.  I have no idea where he came from or if he belongs to someone.  Looks fat and healthy though, so I am guessing a neighbor has a new cat.

Cisco appeared on the game cam off and on half the night.   He's well fed by neighbors and I took him to be fixed a few weeks back.  

I made a video with imovie, an iphone app.  It's so fun to use.  My game cam, given to me by a Lacomb lady, is also great fun.  

Fritter too appeared.  Fritter's the boy who has had it rough.  First abandoned by his people in the apartments.  Then the man at the end took him in and cared for him, only to die falling in his garage.  His family members asked the family who bought the house then, to care for him.  They did, until they split and he moved out and sold the house recently.  Now there are new people living in that house, Fritters house really, and I don't know who they are or what they are like but several other neighbors take care of him, includiing me.  He's an old man cat now.

Lastly, I was surprised to see a skinny raccoon on the game cam.  He drank water and was quickly gone and did not appear again on the camera.   I haven't seen a raccoon around here for ages.  I'm glad I sealed up the cat door to the garage that Gigi had been using.  I'll put out the cam again to see if he's routinely coming through.  I don't have food out he could get to but he may come just for the water.

Here's to night stalkers and the unknown.
