5 month approx report.
there were no trail cams on sale black friday. just as well. i'll never get a pic of big cat.
once again, i got up from a nap n saw drifter outside, on the a/c. i told her to wait a bit n i'd let her in. as she jumped off, she sure looked big. i was thinking to myself maybe there's a magnifying effect in that window. maybe big cat isn't as big as i thot. i got to the door n opened it, but no cat was coming.
i glanced in the other direction n there was a normal sized drifter on the roof of the arbor.
hmmmm.
her brother is now living here. i'm calling him cowboy. i'm sure they are related cause you can only tell them apart by size.
i don't want him here, but he's eating my mice, so i'm feeding him out of fundamental fairness.
so if i set up a cam, when drifter isn't tripping it, he will be.
keep in mind, the katznjammer kids are black n white. big cat is solid grey. i could never mistake these guys.
anyway, i don't think big cat comes often. i think he has a big range.
i'm not sure how cowboy is still alive. i doubt big cat would let him stay around. a female is one thing. another male is something else.
with all these cats around, small game hunting is dead. bunnies have split for the coast. now, my november quail rumpus in my front yard has been cancelled. i usually get a couple hundred scaled quail in my front yard. none this year, with a hungry cat under every bush.
please remember, i'm on the great plains, where cats don't exist, except for coyote food.
i now see there is an invisible web of feral cats wandering the plains you just can't see them.
i called drifter in for the night n slammed the door in her face. she was bringing in a mouse, like she did on monday.
her new hobby is bringing live mice inside the house n playing with them til they get away to terrify me.
she just killed monday mouse last night. i almost stepped on the corpse.
she continually drops them letting them get away, outside n in.
my current problem, outside of a home over run with mice, is feeding cowboy.
drifter believes all kibble is her kibble. if i take out her brother's supper, she forgets her well filled bowl n leaps out the door to get the outside food, which tastes better.
she will then refuse to come in til she eats it all.
i trapped her in the bathroom a couple times, with her food n water, while i took out a dish.
she is trapped for a whole minute. but now she is wise to this n streaks out of the bath, so i can't open the door.
drifter is very very fast.
i am not.
i gotta go see if drifter is done with her mouse so she can come in.
then, i gotta try to outsmart her n feed her brother.
so far, i haven't been successful at that.
