A small update on Sugar.

He is now ok around Momma & Baby kitty.(They have
sorted things out (not best friends), but they are
showing mutual respect & an easyness around each
other. That's good. However, I came home yesterday
to find Sugar's right ear flap all chewed up & bloody.
It broke my heart. He acted fine with me & the other
two cats, and I think I know who he defended his
food from. ( Big grey/white stray tom ) He must have
been coming into the garage to feed before but never
bothered Momma or Baby kitty. Now Sugar feels he has
to stand guard over the food source.
It's back to the vets tomorrow to check out his ear,
but think I made a mistake in leaving the food down
all day & the door open. There are just to many really
hungry kitties around here. Think maybe I'm making
a problem for Sugar by leaving food out.
Momma & Baby are well fed cats & will be alright
without food until I come home from work, as they
are used to getting their can food only in the evening
before I close up the garage for them.
Any one with advise on a better way to handle this
please tell me. Thanks. Liz.
