"That Black Cat"...

It seems like "that black cat" has been around forever.  Some days I tolerate him others not so much.  I thought we had an agreement as much as one can have an agreement with an animal.  The deal is he could stay by the kitchen porch and the backyard and my boys and Katie would have the front yard and the run of the rest of the property.

The boys and Katie do not like him.  While Paquito is not afraid of him he looks at him like "what are you doing in MY house?"...Nico and Katie run away from him whenever he tries to approach them. I think he wants to be friends but the boys are not having any of it.  In a way, I am glad as I have no idea what kind of disease he might have.

I now feed him on top of the old washing machine.
I either bring the boys in or feed them in front of
the house.

I am not a veterinarian but I think he has terrible allergies, he scratches himself raw. In the beginning, I thought it was the result of catfights but he has not left the property and my cats are not the type to engage in fights.

You can almost see the bone on his legs due
to the scratching.

Before the cold front hit back on February 25th I made two new cuchas for Paquito and Nico and placed it on the side porch.  However, Nico did not like it and Katie decided to claim it as hers.

The old Clorox bottle (now filled with water) is
to keep the cucha from blowing away.

 

Katie decided she liked Nico's cucha
and claimed it as her own.

What was my surprise that a couple of days later this is what I would find...

Yeap, "that black cat" took over the cuchas.

Thank you for visiting Walter's World.
