There are cats growing in our back garden...
A stray cat is a socialised domestic cat that has lost its home and may seek human contact, while a feral cat is unsocialised to humans, living like a wild animal and typically avoiding people. Feral cats are born and raised in the wild, whereas strays ar
Seriously, there are cats growing in our back garden. After a weekend away we came home like 10pm on Sunday evening. Minutes later standing in the kitchen looking out on the dark terrace I spotted movement.
Something black, something that had all tell tales of a cat!
Yesterday morning I saw the mama cat that's been missing in action for the five past weeks outside our kitchen window in the other direction. I snuck out at the front of our house. And there it was, the black and white kitten.
The very first one of this trio of cats I spotted some weeks back which lead to some serious cat hunting since the other kitten had been left behind. Where these two have been hiding out the past five weeks is a mystery to me.
But now they're back.
By now, the little one must be around 14 weeks or so, and for sure he/she is in no way equipped for survival "in the wild" when the cold weather [if ever] kicks in.
So once again I find myself on a rescue mission. Once again I hope our greenhouse will turn out to be the perfect place to catch a stray/feral kitten.
I sense it would be too much to hope for to be able to also catch mama cat, who I suspect is more of a stray [dumped] than a feral, but for sure I'm gonna try. Wish me luck!
