Project

 We've been seeing a couple of cats around over the last year. Mom fed a grey and white this summer but then didn't see him (or her) again. Well with the miserably cold weather here the last month, mom's been putting out food and leaving the garage door up a crack. 

Saturday morning she went down to the garage and there he was but got startled and ran. But she went out last night and he was in the hut mom bought years ago for Allie. 

He didn't leave so mom got pretty close and he even sniffed her finger. When she got home he was still in the hut and didn't seem bothered by her or the car. 

He was gone Sunday afternoon but mom set up the crate with a blanket and food and water to see if he will use that. 

Mom is going to reach out to the shelter and see if they can take him if he's friendly. If not the plan is to get him vet checked and neutered at least. 

Food puzzles

 We've mentioned it before, but Boba is pretty smart. Mom originally bought a food puzzle and Boba knows the sound it makes when it gets moved and comes running to play with it. Mom saw a different puzzle on sale at a local store and bought one to try. 

This is the original. The sliders don't take her too long to get open. There are 3 circles that have tops that curve over and those take her a little longer. 

Chanel shows up not to use the puzzle but eat what she can. 

The new puzzle is all different sliders don't it didn't take Boba too long to figure it out. 

Cleopatra showed up too see if 

there were any leftover treats. 

Mom likes having these as an option to distract Boba sometimes. Plus Boba gets excited when they come out so that's a bonus.

Do you have a food puzzle or good toy?

Banana

 Sunday morning was a bit of a catnip party:

Everyone here tends to get a little wound up about mid morning then sleep it off.

Project garage kitty is ongoing. Mom put a camera down there but coverage seems to be hit and miss. There's a limit to where it can be placed so it doesn't catch everything. 

Mom approached him on Sunday morning. He took a little churu from her but wouldn't allow her to touch him. The plan may be to trap him for possible TNR then keep him crated for a couple of days to see how he does. 

Finally February

 We have another short term foster. Clepatra is about 3 months old and here for about 12 days on meds for a cold. She is very sweet. 

Otherwise we've had a lazy week.
