Cat update for week ending February 29

This Caturday, some wildlife visitors and increased use of cozy accommodations.

The tripawd coyote visited again last Saturday night, but hasn’t been back since:

An animated GIF of three cats going in and out of the breezeway cabin (crowded in there!), with another cat watching from the log pile in the background:

Three cats again, this time by their house:

A raccoon visited Porcini in a cabin:

She swiped at it and retreated out the back door; it jumped back then left.  She came back later.

Two possums in the feeder (with no food). Unusual to see two; they usually travel singly. These look young, though:

Pumpkin and Porcini; he just sniffed and left. Perhaps disappointed that she has taken the cabin he had preferred. He hasn’t been hanging around very often this week:

A rare color picture of Pansy in the back of the shop, using the heating pad:

Poppy enjoyed the cat house a few times this week:

Jumping down from the pole; probably not as comfortable as climbing down backwards, but faster:

The left cabin is the original one I got before building the cat house, and the cover had torn off the heating pad, making it less comfortable to sit on, so the cats haven’t been using it. So I added an old spare flannel pillowcase to it, leaving the old cover bunched up at the back (it’s still partially attached):

They’re still there as I write this, a couple of hours later. Makes me happy to see cozy cats.
