It's a Feral Life

Sydney is such a good kitty. She fits right in with all the cats. She only plays with Ivy, but she will respectfully interact with the other cats.

Last night's feeding went much better, no wind and no rain.

All 13 cats accounted for. This location also had no electricity for days, which kicked in a very noisy generator. I think the cats were afraid of the unfamiliar noise. I did put a couple of boxes of food closer to where I think they were hiding and hopefully got something to eat. The generator was off last night.

Last night, I was hoping for good weather when I fed the cats, since the tropical storm was passed the island, and the weather had cleared up. I got to the second spot and put all the food out and just as I was driving away it started to down pour. The food would quickly become soaked. Thankfully, the wind subsided. At one colony the only dry spot was under a tree, but the area has a lot of down branches and trees. I put food in the dry spot and prayed they would be safe from the trees. An area where I have a couple of colonies has no electricity, those places are dark and deserted. The last two nights, at my biggest colony with 13 cats, there have only been 8.

I couldn't feed most my colonies this morning on my way to work, the rain was too heavy and there is no covering to feed them under.

I was able to feed the ones at my house. I stopped at the next location because last night I left boxes of food under the building and I had to pick them up. There was a down tree. The first picture is the down tree, but that is cut up and put in pile. I wonder what it looked like as a whole. There were no cats waiting for me, I hope they are ok.

I have a short drive to work. It was heavy rain and very windy with a lot of debris and down trees. The wind was so strong it shifted the cart return corral.

I was still able to feed the cats last night during a tropical storm warning. It was very windy but not much rain. Most of the cats were there to eat. A couple colonies had a few cats missing.
