One Good Meal

@akalinus First of all ,thanks for sharing this wonderful post. Whenever I come across such great posts, I congratulate myself for joining the site. I love all birds and animals. Even in this lockdown period I somehow manage to feed them everyday.

Poor kitty, I always put outside food for the animals, no matters who come to eat during the night.

I had two cats when I was a child, both were strays that I found and brought home. Mom loved them, dad wanted nothing to do with either of them, and kept saying we needed to get rid of them. Guess who ended up loving those cats more than anyone in our home? haha, yep...dad!

Poor thing. I'm glad you gave it a meal.

My place is the stopping off station for any hungry animal. I can't say "NO" to feeding hungry critters...I have regulars of course. I feed the deer, squirrels, raccoons, coyotes and so many more creatures. Of course I also have Petey the ginger tabby and Jonesy the long haired calico that live with us...they have life pretty easy with their regular feeding schedule. It sounds like your visitor was a feral cat...or could be someone dumped him off at your place. One of the neighbor's sons has a small ranch and it is a prime target for people just wanting to dump cats. They figure that the small ranchers will appreciate having more mouths to feed...and that they cats can take care of themselves by hunting. They don't realize how cruel it is to simply dump a batch of kittens off at the side of a road. Cats can't exist on what they can manage to catch, they need their diets augmented with cat food. Fortunately the son decided to keep the kittens and the local humane society took care of spaying and neutering and rabies shots for free as long as the son agreed to house and feed the cats. Anyhow it was mighty kind of you to provide the poor thing with some food. Not to many people would reach out like that and help the poor thing. If he needs more help he'll be back, he knows a kind heart when he finds one.

I do the same thing, not so often but whenever I see a cat coming into my yard Also, something I started from almost doing is leaving birds with food in the winter ... I have a lot of little birds in the winter in my yard

I do when I can. No stray animals where I live though.

I'm glad you gave him a meal. I've never seen animals hanging around.

My roommate has in the past, but our landlord said no.
