They poop in the bird baths, they ripped up screening of a screened covered area off the back of the cottage. I don't leave out any food. I feed two feral feline siblings morning and evening. I'm a sucker! I need to wean them and let them mosey on somewhere else. I know they are eating elsewhere because sometimes they don't eat what I put out. ~ Enjoy your weekend ~ FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-682851218552281382022-09-30T09:51:33.108-04:002022-09-30T09:51:33.108-04:00Jennie; When we lived at our Amish-built house the...Jennie; When we lived at our Amish-built house there was a time when the large back room [used as a 'wash room' by the former Amish owners] was open on one side. We had covered bins for trash, but opossums came in one night, over-turned the bins and rootled trash clear out into the drive. We are careful now to insure that 'wildlife' can't get into anything. The feral cats who pass through are another matter--there's nearly always a bit of kibble available. <br />Our beloved pets have too short a lifespan and I confess I'm looking at Teasel and Edward's brothers with some anxiety.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-79524527198623593312022-09-30T03:48:52.597-04:002022-09-30T03:48:52.597-04:00Gosh what a pickle.

That was how we acquired new cats at Ynyswen, from feeding Miffy cat - who arrived on the heels of us feeding one of the Snowys. Fortunately, it was just cats we attracted, and the occasional hedgehog. I guess the best idea if they become problematical is a live-catch trap and removal from the premises. At least you know they will come for the kibble, wherever it is! A lot of our mutual cats seem to be a similar age now.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.com
