Cat update for week ending January 30

The last Caturday for January… or is it March 335, 2020? What is time?

We start as we often do, with cute Porcini and Poppy snuggles in their cat house:

Poppy and Porcini on their deck:

Spud, Poppy, and Pommie at the cabins:

Poppy has been spending a lot of time in the cabins; here she’s in the left one, with Spud behind her, and Porcini in the right one:

Poppy returning to the cabins, with Spud and Porcini still there:

Spud sleeping on top of the ever-patient Poppy, and Porcini still in the other cabin:

Pepper watching me in the shop, while I was working on the duck island project:

It snowed a bit on Sunday night; here’s Porcini with a bit of snow on the cat house awning (the ground in front is fairly sheltered by trees):

Porcini, Poppy, and Pommie at the cabins again:

Spud arrived too:

A glimpse of Poppy and Porcini in the cabins while I walk up the path to the bird box (visible on the left). This picture is useful for context, too — our main deck and gazebo is above the cat cabins, with the bird feeders off to the right:

Porcini leaving:

Poppy thought about leaving as I got closer:

But returned to the cabin and watched me cautiously while I refilled the bird feeders:

As a feral cat, she’s cautious of all humans, but I think she recognizes me as not a threat.

Another busy day at the cabins, with Spud & Poppy in the left one, Pommie between them, and Porcini in the right one:

That evening, a little more snow, and two cats:

Spud starting to throw up:

A possum was happy to clean up the mess (time-lapse GIF), supervised by Pommie:

Spud was fine, he just ate a mouse or something that didn’t sit well. Here he is in the breezeway this morning:
