Old kitty had a few down days. No eating and slept for 48 hours.
She seemed perked up this morning. Actually ate a plate of food and wanted to go hangout outside.... At 4am.
This picture reminds me so much of our very own trubo kitty!

Aww, thanks guys. He's got a little pooch in the middle from the right angles but he's also just a straight up big boi. His head is easily larger than my fist.
He is Stinky. Or Mr. Stinky if you are into the whole formality thing. The wife and I joke that his father must have been a garbage truck or a city bus His mom and sister are about 8lbs each.
Here's his mother Annie helping wife with WFH duties
And sister Nugget being very dramatic

A post about the outdoor kitty i've been feeding. A beautiful cat. (I googled the clipped ear thing and it turns out it's part of the TNR neutered or spayed program.)
Every morning when i leave for work around 5:30-6am it's on the porch. And again around 7-8pm.
I've been calling it BK for "black kitty". BK will sit with its face against the screen door but is very skittish. Today BK ate a piece of fish off my fingers for the first time in 3 months. The other day BK ate some leftover bacon from BLTs. We're making progress. I'm trying to train BK to enter the box lined with a blanket to prepare for winter. BK has had a steady diet of wellness and people food for a steady 3 months now. Not to mention whatever scraps of the 20+ squirrels i've shot and tossed up on the tracks this summer.

I may have shared this before, but we call our cat Garbage Cat (even though I have officially named him Mustafa the Mustache). When we first moved in we had one of those little cheapy plastic trash cans, he learned to open it and would drag food out. He particularly liked hot wings.
We finally bought a fancy nice one so he couldn't open it anymore.

Hah! Our Annie is "trash cat" because she started as a stray and would drag trash into our yard and eat it. After she got torn up by a raccoon or a possum and nearly lost a leg, we made her an indoor cat but she can't get the garbage monkey off her back. She's got plenty of good food, treats and fresh water, she just loves garbage.

Seems like a horribly inefficient way to drink.
