Hanging a towel out on the drying rack and spot the little cat that was sleeping beside our patio the other day. Curled up in the same spot near the honeysuckle and so well camouflaged by long grass that she would have been easy to miss. Can see that it’s a safe spot and suspect that she associates it with J as she examined his nearby chair pretty thoroughly last week, although he has prudently only left food on the other side of the road.

Really don’t want to acquire a cat. We’re not here year round so it would only have to be abandoned in the spring. Also think this is a female and it is definitely not neutered as the vets clip the corner of an ear after neutering. Absolutely no desire to find ourselves responsible for a litter of kittens. And not at all likely that it has a home if the edge of our patio is the best place to spend a chilly night.
