We have a new stray that’s been hanging around for several weeks. Someone has previously TNR’d him. His right ear is tipped. I checked with a nearby neighbor that I’ve gotten friendly with because she’s another crazy cat lady like me. She was trying to tame him, but he resisted her efforts, so she nicknamed him Grumpy.

Grumpy loves our backyard and is almost constantly out there hunting birds. Unfortunately, he’s killed three or four birds. A few days ago, we found small gray quail feathers all over the place. We wouldn’t normally mind him simply hanging around, but we do NOT want him killing the birds we’ve worked so hard to attract to the yard.

Because of this, every time we see him, we walk outside, which makes him run away. We end up doing this many times a day.

I’ve placed a trap away from the house in the direction he often takes when he flees to another neighbor’s back yard. So far, he’s not taking the bait, literally. He probably remembers being trapped previously and wants no part of that again. I’ve taken to leaving food in the bowl near the front of the trap, hoping to eventually convince him it’s safe, then put the food in the back to catch him. My cat lady neighbor will take him back if I can ever catch him.

Grumpy has come up to the glass doors a couple of times to check out Tilly. We’re surprised at how comfortable Obie is with Grumpy’s presence. Obie doesn’t mind him at all and doesn’t react to him being nearby. I suspect Grumpy could be a nice, friendly cat if someone could tame him. But no, it won’t be us. We’re full up.

Grumpy is a soft gray tabby. He’s perched on a rock fountain next to a granite bowl. The rock fountain is at the head of a cement brick trough filled with ice plants. There’s a green wooden picket fence in the background.

Grumpy is a soft gray tabby. He lies stretched out asleep in the sun at the base of a green wooden picket fence. There’s a cactus below him and a sculpture of a gnome-eating cat to the right of him.

Grumpy is a soft gray tabby. Tilly is a dark brown and white tabby. Grumpy is outside on a wood plank back deck and has his nose to the glass door. Tilly is crouched on a green doormat on the other side of the glass, almost nose-to-nose with him. There’s a large red hose coiled on the deck in the background. There are iridescent round stickers on the glass doors to prevent bird strikes.

Day 34 of my #365project. Today was one of those. Didn’t get the job I wanted with the benefits I need. So #CatnamedYoda will continue to be my coworker. Some sad family news adding to the pile. So I am going to read a bit and hope tomorrow is a better day. Breathing deeply. We will survive.

A tuxedo Persian cat with long whiskers and yellow eyes looks to the right in a living room near a computer monitor that reflects light on his face.

My wife took this picture of Mimu, she called it ‘Mimu, bath interrupted’. Mimu is another of our wonky legged feral rescues. Both of her back legs were chopped off from the knee, whether through an accident or cruelty we don’t know. She’s a spicy creature who thinks she runs the house. #cats #CatsOfMastodon #FeralRescue

Mimu is a short haired black and white cat. She is balanced on her back, midway through grooming herself. Her back legs are short as the result of some sort of damage. She has green eyes and white whiskers.

Acquired a flat, drying rack for some clothing that should not go in the dryer. Apparently, #RaederlesNuggetTheCat approves. Unfortunately for him, it’s not rated for his current weight. #CatsOfMastodon

Photo of lightweight white stacking mesh and metal racks for drying clothing flat. Various pieces of clothing are on each shelf. There is also a ginger and white cat laying on one of the racks. He is looking down and to the left. There is a chair in the foreground with a purple tie dye sweatshirt over the back. The chair has since been moved.

This is miss Kerrigan, the queen of blades. She has a brain tumor, and we have been blessed to get some time to say goodbye.

I am glad that she exists and I wanted you to know that she exists too.
