The black and white cat just showed up but ran off when s/he saw me. She apparently knows this is the place to go for food so I'm sure she'll be back b/c I put food out. But now I don't know what to think. I don't know if LBK is too afraid to come around b/c the b&w cat was bullying him or if he's indoors or if something happened to him.

This is how I "officially" got started in rescue in the first place. Peeka was my neighbor's cat and was missing. The temps were below freezing and she finally returned but to my house instead of my neighbor's. She was badly injured and had an infection that resulted in her having to get her tail amputated but my neighbor wouldn't assume responsibility for her, so I took her on the condition that I could take her brother Boo, too. I called them my Christmas miracles. Now here's history sort of repeating itself. I sure hope my little guy/gal is alright.

ETA: He's back! Whew! I just got up from the computer and noticed that Coco Puff was staring out the patio window. I checked and there was LBK, chowing down. He usually runs when he sees me but he must be really hungry b/c he only looked up and I said "Hi, buddy!" and he kept on eating. I'm so relieved! The b&w cat reminds me of my RB Puddy. She was a calico but this cat has the same short, fluffy tail as Puddy had. I guess I'm just nostalgic right now.
