...about a stray cat who lives at the buiding site.Several times during the night, he miaws loudly to tell me "Now he's there!"
Well, Fister and I had a littlle chat about this, and we agreed that if I go and feed him a few times a day and make sure he/she doesn't freeze, then he'll stop waking me up in the night. I do need my beauty sleep!
So, yesterday I went to a greengrocer and got two little boxes which I put together with tape and covered with plastic. Inside are newspaper and a few blankets.
Since the Board here don't want anyone to feed stray cats, I went to have a chat with the people in the "office" of the building site to ask if it was OK with them that I put the house inside their fences. It was OK.Now, I still had to find the right place to put it, where people from the street can't see it, so I put it by one of the containers hidden by lots of other stuff, and I put a wood shelf in front of it.
Only problem was, I was worried the cat didn't find it. It has been pretty cold the last few days - about 27 Fahrenheit. Another girl next door and I have been giving the cat some food whenver we saw it, but I wanted the cat to find the house, so I cooked some chicken last night and went down to put it outside the house, hoping he/she would smell it.
So today, when I looked out of the window, I saw the cat playing happily close the house.I grabbed my camera and got a video. I'm sure he/she was playing with a mouse! I then went down with some more chicken and managed to get a closer picture, unfortunately, he/she turned and ran with the chicken - I think to his house.
The first time I saw this cat was in late December, and I thought someone had let him/her out, but since it's still here, it must be a lost cat.
My next door neighbor told me she had seen a note down by the lakes about a lost cat, so she is getting that tel. no. on her way back today. I haven't heard yet.
Anyway, here's a picture and two video clips. Hope you can view them! You need QuickTime.
