Hi, Lizbud! As you say, maybe I should wait awhile longer . . . I used to feed her under a tree in the back yard, but noticed her by the front porch under the eaves when it was raining one night, so started to leave food there for her because she could stay dry. That is where I noticed her curled up and sleeping on Sunday. For all I know, she could sleep there every day and I hadn't been aware because I'm at work. It is a safe place for her, and shielded from view and the elements, with landscaping to hide her. Maybe I should just keep feeding her there, and keep an eye on her belly! She will run if I get too close, but will tolerate me on the screened in porch, as long as I don't try to go out the screen door.
