Seeing ghosts

I nearly had a heart attack just now because I opened the door to my porch and there was a big black cat sitting there. Spooky returned from the grave

Maybe the black kitty has decided to adopt you. Or your indoor heat.

Oh, if he hadn't run off, he could've been sleeping in bed now... I talk a lot of crap, but I'm a total sucker. And he's big and black with a few white hairs on his chest... *quibbles* I'm just glad no one walked up to me with "HEY FREE BLACK KITTEN" right after Spooky died. Cause. I'm not sure I could've been prudent in that situation. But when cats move in -- as was the case with all three of mine -- well. I'm going to feed them.

Although they were born feral, so we'll see if he actually warms up to me -- most of them already are moving into my sheds, so I'm going to resolve to feed this colony. Even feral, if I can keep them fed and speutered, that's a big improvement. And... I'm a sucker, I do love the little kitties. Even the crazy-eyed evil grey one who lurks around. But particularly the big black poofy ones.

You are a cat magnet!

I am a cat magnet!

This is why I theoretically understand, but don't really get people looking for cats... cats just show up around me, constantly. ;)

Good luck with the TNRs and the feral colony!

Most of the ferals and strays in our condo neighborhood disappeared once MomCat was gone and our neighbor stopped feeding them... but lately we've started seeing kitty footprints and a slender black cat dashing away.

I really, really, really want a Proper Barn someday. I could do barncats! (Plus, they keep the rats away from your chickens. And peacocks, which I would totally have if I had a proper barn.)
