kitty update

Angry Squirrel (the one who dropped crab apples on my own cat's head when she tried to sun herself out there, until I gave him a stern talking-to - albeit an admiring stern talking-to, the nearest crabapple tree is a block away) is Most Displeased that I am not only feeding cats in HIS backyard, but I am feeding two of them at once.

PutativeDadCat came in to the yard this morning, I surprised him by dropping some food down, he hid in the bushes, I left to make breakfast, he came out and was eating the food by the time my breakfast was ready. I came out on the porch, he saw me and left, leaving about 1/2 the food behind. Angry Squirrel started chittering about 10 minutes later so I looked out through the door sneakily, and la, Mama Cat was eating all the remaining food while PDC looked on and licked his chops. Once the food was all gone I dropped another can out there, they both hid in separate bushes and watched me (PDC with an appraising look, Mama with a 'hope she doesn't know I'm here' look) and then when I went back in and peeked from the door, they were both eating away while Angry Squirrel perched safely about 12 feet up our big ash tree and read them their rights non-stop. He's still out there yelling, and it's been about a half hour. I find this interesting because he never cared they were there before I started feeding them...

Thta's great! We don't have an angry squirrel, but we do have Clumsy Squirrel, who makes a cvery distinctive sound crashing along through the trees.
