Bus Stop Kitties
16Feb18
This morning, I took out the trash as I fed the cats. Fluffy and Mask followed me to the trash can. Fluffy likes to wind herself around my ankles making walking treacherous. I fed Mask and Fluffy out by the trash, but Fluffy wouldn't eat in a strange place so I had to go to the spot where I normally feed her. As I called for Patch, Fluffy's twin appeared, they didn't seem to like each other. I convinced Fluffy to leave her food for the other Fluffy and follow me. I fed her at the foot of the stairs. No Patch.
Later in the day, GG was sleeping peacefully by my side. I reached for my laptop and it fell on GG. He went to David for comfort and then outside. He's not speaking to me right now.
Then I violated the cardinal rule, and went outside for walk, forgetting that the ferals would bombard me. Well, I snuck out the back and avoided the apartment colony, but on my return, Calico saw me across the street and came running. Several other cats came along with her. I told her I didn't have any food, but would get her some. She followed me into brat territory, along with a couple a black cat.
Of course, the brats saw them encroaching on their space and had a fit. Even Sad Sack saw me and started following. I went upstairs and got some food, and realized I needed to feed Calico, Sad Sack, and whoever else was encroaching on brat territory first. So I walked back to their territory and put food down for them there.
Then I fed Mask and Patch. Patch is starting to behave like Fluffy and getting too nervous to eat. And who shows up but GG and Fluffy. GG knows he can eat upstairs and kind of wanted to play but realized he's still not speaking to me. Anyway, I put enough food down for everyone and let them fight it out among themselves.
