Some interesting shots in today’s Caturday post.

Let’s start with some cat ID: Pommie (left), Spud (deck), Porcini (right):

An alien cat:

Porcini peeking at me from the cabin as I walk past:

Two cats, in a picture taken from our deck (you may have to look closely to see the second one):

There were actually three cats; a third on a rock, visible from a different angle:

Three cats at the feeder:

A raccoon encounter at the cabin:

All five cats in an iPad screenshot: one in the cabin, three on the cat deck, one in the feeder:

A closer look at the four cats at the cat house:

Plus one cat in the cabin:

Three cats inside:

The food ran out, so I did an evening food top-up:

Pumpkin is a big reason for the food running out; I’m going through the food much faster since he started hanging out:

A cat sitting on our front steps:

Two cats inside:

Double-decker cats:

Cabin licks:

Pumpkin startles two others:

Let’s take a look at the cats; welcome to another Caturday at the homestead.

Poppy on the deck, looking her usual grumpy self, Porcini in front of the camera:

Sleepy cat:

The alien orange cat, Pumpkin, has been hanging out in the shelter quite a bit this week, waiting for the food to dispense:

Here he is arriving in the shelter when Poppy is already there:

Poppy expressed her displeasure at the arrival with some hissing and swiping, which Pumpkin ignored:

After both settling for a while, Pumpkin defended the shelter from raccoons:

The two raccoons:

Then they settled down again:

When the food dispensed, Pumpkin was first there again:

Still the same morning, Pumpkin was in the shelter when the gray alien cat, Paladout, arrived:

Orange vs gray cats:

A screenshot of the cam viewer app on my iPad, showing Paladout in the feeder, Pumpkin on the deck, and Poppy in the shelter:

When more food started dispensing, Paladout started freaking out; he wanted to run away, but the entrance was blocked:

Not happy:

After a few minutes standoff, Pumpkin lost interest and went back in the shelter, allowing Paladout to leave:

Pansy, the indoor feral cat who lives in the back of our workshop:

Porcini watching a bird, while another is in the feeder:

Bella on the deck and Poppy next to the house, both watching a taunty bird:

When feeding the birds, I flushed both Poppy and Porcini out from the grasses under the bird feeders, and they ran to under our deck:

Time for lots of pictures of our feral cats; it’s Caturday.

This past week Porcini has taken to sitting on the bench by the fountain on sunny days; a nice spot, somewhat near the cat house, where she can keep an eye on things:

Poppy looking at a bird:

Snuggles:

Three cats waiting for breakfast in the shelter:

Two cats snuggling in the evening:

A screenshot of the camera viewing app, showing four cats; two in the shelter, one on the deck, one eating:

A Steller’s jay making very bad choices, when there’s a cat in the shelter (don’t worry, the bird flew away before the cat came out):

Porcini sleeping on the bench again:

Porcini coming out of the feeder:

When the weather isn’t so nice, Porcini has another solution: sleeping on one of the chairs on our deck, under the shelter of the gazebo (with a nice view of hummingbirds flying to the feeders):

We had suspected a cat was doing that for a while, as we noticed cat fur on the cushions, but this was the first time we’d seen her doing so.

The orange cat, Pumpkin, watching a possum that scored some leftover food:

Pumpkin spent some time inside the shelter, too:

Two cats snuggling inside:

A screenshot showing Pumpkin peeking at others inside:

A sequence of images of Pumpkin going into the shelter when Poppy was there:

Poppy hissed at Pumpkin:

But Pumpkin just settled down, and Poppy relaxed:

They shared the shelter for about an hour, then Poppy left:

And Pumpkin stuck around for another hour before departing too:

This morning, two cats waiting for breakfast inside; they don’t seem to mind the smell of Pumpkin:
