No one came running...
I had a very long day at work and I didn't get home until about 8:45
tonight and I normally feed the cats at 7 pm Well, I put the kibble into the dishes, including a third one for the stray kitty. Not one cat came running. Normally Mischief comes BOLTING into the room and starts scarfing food down. Nobody showed up. then it hit me. The cats are fed in my bedroom, which is where the stray kitty is currently hanging out, and no one wanted to come forward and meet anyone. I moved the dishes for Imp and Mischief into the hall and that got Mischief to come and eat. Sheesh.... Kristi |

Well tonight, Kitty was the one that came running. Normally Mischief
is the one that's RIGHT there with her head practically obscuring the bowl as I dole out the cat kibble This time, Kitty was right there when I served dinner. Imp was nearby watching, and Mischief hasn't even budged from her tower. Imp watched and Mischief glared as Kitty scarfed down her bowl. Then she started in on Mischief's bowl. Uh oh.... I chased her away and moved the bowls into the living room where I could watch them Imp and Mischief are now chowing down. I figured this could pose a problem. Kitty and Mischief are both from the streets and are opportunistic eaters. I think feeding separately will have to be a necessity to make sure everyone gets enough. Sheesh....... Kristi |

Kitty Town Cat, interesting name
Yes we are temporarily keeping her but are still looking for a home for her. Although we are toying with the idea of names, but a good one hasn't come to us yet. I did say that if I ever got a third cat I would name it Mayhem. Then I would have Imp, Mischief and Mayhem, hehehehehe But right now she's not really acting like a "Mayhem" However, tonight when they were all scrambling for dinner, Mischief ended up close to Kitty and their noses were about six inches from each other. Mischief then hissed and ran between my legs to get away. Sigh..... So one of these days a name might come to us. Course if that happens, then we might be really screwed. I find it interesting that with both Mischief and this one, they were both strays that I just picked up and took in to feed them....and I ended up keeping Mischief and this one is apparently settling in although it is NOT FINAL that we are keeping this one. moral of the story......don't feed any more strays.....
