“After the Storm of Cold Weather”

“9Lives” to the Rescue!

With all the snow we have had – lots of ice and snow covered ground for the last two weeks –guess…  what shows up? The “Sunset Cat” – herself!

Since we had so much snow and the ground was covered with the thick white stuff… there was no way the birds could get a good meal… so we put out more bird feeders,  even hung some on our deck,  and  can you guess…who comes for a visit to my back door – the “Sunset Cat”  herself… and always to my door.

Well, with  all of the bad weather – the “Sunset Cat”  finally found her favorite safe place to keep warm and  also … find a free meal?

“I’m guessing” that and  because,  no one will own a “cat” …. they  will make that big decision… for their selves… to own you.

They show up and you hurry  and scramble faster than you do… even for  yourself  and or even  for your own  family members… just to please them and…  as long as you please them – they will continue to visit you – since cats like that “royal” treatment… that they will receive from  the best of some of their  special friends.

Like I have been telling everyone, the birds of all “NATIONS” and “KINDS” have found a free meal here, as well as an old squirrel, who eats  and or likes something in the bird feed – just as if  it was a good “nut” for them to enjoy and scare the poor birds away!

So, a new job for me is to be a “police man” and run off the old squirrel. So, when I do not see the birds eating – there has to be a good reason – someone big enough to eat “birds”  is lurking around  – that’s when I go in for the running off of  the old “critters” that are not nice to birds.

Yesterday, shortly after having put fresh food in the feeders – no birds – flying in for a free meal? Looking out on the deck… who do you think is sitting on the rail watching all the birds fly by and then away … all wondering … who in our world… invited a cat?

I had a small amount of cat food and fed the cat. After awhile the cat left…  and a long time after her departure… finally, the birds did start to come back for a meal.

Would you believe … the “SUNSET Cat” returned for a second meal…  in the same day?

My son, Al went to the store and picked up a bag of  “9Lives” …  just for the
“Sunset Cat!”

I told the cat, as if she understands a word that I’m saying …  “we all have to share our space … and if she runs into problems… this “9Lives” will help her to live longer!” 

I do not know how many “Lives” she has used… but … for me to guess, I just may start counting the years… that she stops by… to see  all of her old friends here!

We will see what happens!
