Ocelot II

8. He's still around, still uses my front porch as his base camp.

He's usually there in the morning when I put food out, especially if the weather is bad; he has a little heated hut where he can go when it's really cold. It's warm today (for here) so he's off somewhere. The food usually disappears during the day, either because he ate it or a neighbor cat did or, like last night, an opossum ate it. I've also discovered that squirrels will eat cat food. So far Chet and Dave haven't noticed him or vice versa, and they aren't very likely to cross paths unless he comes right up to a window.
