What’s this? Another cat update?! How unexpected. Or something.

Three cats in the feeder:

The alien orange cat has been hanging around a lot recently. So much so that we’ve decided to give him a name, in keeping with our convention of giving “P” names to cats: Pumpkin. We wonder if he’s feral, stray, or someone’s pet. Here he’s peeking into the feeder, while Poppy eats:

He was noticed:

A rapid egress:

He went into the feeder and Poppy came back to watch him:

In the back of the shop, Pansy makes a funny face:

When I was refilling the bird feeders, I flushed Porcini out from the grass under the feeders. She watched me from under the deck:

I really think Pumpkin wants to be friendly with the ferals, but they aren’t so accepting. I hope that he doesn’t (unintentionally) chase them away. I don’t mind him hanging around, but would be sad if they left. I’m hoping that they all learn to get along one day, though I know that’ll take a long time, if ever.
