The Feral Feeding Station Has a New Friend
We made a new feral feeding station using these instructions from Neighborhood Cats. Normally I put food out daily in a controlled amount so as not to attract wildlife, but we were out of town at the same time so I put extra dry cat food out for them.
I’m sure this opossum was more scared than I was. He hissed like a cat at me because he was cornered, so I took the photo and left.
The cats seemed to care less about the whole thing. Bouncy Bear is looking at me for more food, Dice is huddled up in the cat house, and Dash has no problem dining in front of this new visitor.
I don’t wish this new guy any harm so we’ll just have to keep controlling the amount of food we leave outside. He should move on without a problem. There’s a lot of construction going on in our neighborhood, including clearing land and cutting down lots of trees for a huge city project. It’s no doubt that some of the wildlife is currently losing their habitat and looking for other places to go.
I’d like a better look at that white house and it’s set up. did you buy it or make it? looks really nice.
Jim designed and made it. This post has more photos and information about that outdoor cat house.
