The Cat Is Busy

The Cat was a much loved alpha-female feral, OTRB 4.5.2021. Photos are of her, her family and the feral cats who we used to feed, plus more recent photos of local village and farm cats.
CoffeeCat always showed his tongue; maybe he was older than we initially thought and had lost some of his teeth, but, whatever the reason, he seemed perfectly happy coming and going as he pleased.

Breakfast for Sherpa, Pascha and Linnet. There was a lovely, golden silence when everyone was eating happily.

Tuxedo Joe and sister Braveheart making themselves comfortable in the plant pots in the drive. Their mother was Phantom who lived in the fields on the other side of the road.

Mini hoping I wasn't going to come any closer so she could settle down on the verandah and have a nap.

Arash (front) was Twilight's son, and his best friend (Tumbleweed) was Twilight's grandson. They had struck up an unlikely friendship in the fields and were best buddies, coming together to eat and playing around like big kittens.

Phantom lived at the far side of the fields opposite, and tice as day she had to walk through the fields to come to eat. If the fields were wet, she would arrive looking saturated although her under-coat was perfectly dry and she was lovely and warm.

Sprocket and Pedal, tussling. They were The Cat's daughter and son and, after losing littermate Ratchet at only a few months old, remained strongly bonded even as adults.

NotNVQ loved the dead tree. Heaven knows why the cats were so drawn to it as it looked rough and uncomfortable, yet it was one of the most popular trees in the garden.
(The hint of a pink tongue is a Thursday bonus.)

Muffin on one of the cats' favourite lookout posts - the plant ledge above the pomegranate tree. He was Phantom's son, and one of the new generation of wannabe alpha-males.

It was the law that all new arrivals such as Izambard the Italian must be thoroughly vetted by members of The Garden Family (here Fennel and Dawn are carrying out this very responsible task).

Sometimes walking through the long grass in the fields to come for tea had its down side. Luckily it was easy to pull the grass out of BBC's coat, and he was soon back to normal.

Gypsy was an enigma. She arrived out of the blue, an adult cat, accustomed to humans. We suspect she was older than we first thought, but she had such a kittenish streak, as though she'd never had the opportunity to play before. She was a lovely girl

Fifteenthirty was an afternoon visitor, hence her name. We didn't know when she appeared in the front path that she had a home up the road but just liked roaming. She was a lovely girl, affectionate and friendly and no trouble at all to feed.

Boomerang was one of the cats who arrived during the pandemic. Some decided not to return to their original feeders, but Boomerang did as he kept disappearing (probably to check if they'd come back yet) and then coming back when they hadn't.
