New Fast Food Feral

Rumor has it there is a mom cat and kittens at the Fast Food Feral feeding station. I've only seen the mom and I sure wish those kittens would show themselves! At the "old" site, before Wicks was demolished, the kittens were all born under a pile of debris that was easy to trap at. Now there is nothing but woods and the gardens at Tompkins Co Solid Waste and I have no idea where their home base is.

Yesterday I went by to feed the cats, and mom cat was headed back, having checked the feeding station and found an empty bowl. She clearly understood that I was the "bringer of food" because she crouched down in the drive and waited for me to come back from filling it. By the time I turned my car around, she was trotting back to have dinner. No kittens in view.

She is a drop-dead beautiful gray, white and black tri-color. I have never seen such a thing in my life. This photo is too distant, but maybe you can make out what I mean.


"You can't see me if I lay flat...right here in the middle of the road."

I sure hope she's tame. I'd love to not have to bring her back once I catch her!

Even far away, you can tell she that indeed she is "drop dead beautiful!" Wishing you good rescue mojo so you can bring her back to Wildrun & give her a chance at a wonderful life (and the kittens too!).

Strange combination of colors. Certainly nothing I've ever seen before. Sometimes black fur turns color from a combination of saliva from grooming and the sun, although it's usually reddish. Catch her - she may be worth a bazillion dollars. You could start a "new breed" for the cat fanciers. Trust me, I'm kidding.
