There is a lot of invested time, effort and money needed to help the feral cat colonies. But I wanted to share the numbers here to show what can be done, that it’s not impossible, and to thank all of you again so much for your support. Also, I know there are people out there who… Read more »
Happy Holidays from the Cats In My Yard to all of you and the cats in YOUR yards!
I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season as much as the colony cats! This bonded pair of outdoor cats don’t even have to share a bed – it’s warm enough for them to spread out. I love the festive stairs. Funny Face is chillin’ in the chiminea. And the Villa.
Puffy McWondertail, aka Snuffleupagus, aka The Street Sweeper, came for breakfast today. Jim took these photos of him, because he’s a rare sight. First, he always sits on the round concrete table in the catio. And then he gets closer. One day I am determined to get a nice shot of him because he is… Read more »
There’s been a lot going on with the other colonies, but all is quiet with the cats in my yard. They’ve been out enjoying the fairly mild winter weather. Only Bouncy Bear is around all of the time, because she is obsessed with wet food. I left all of the summer flowers out, and… Read more »

Who knew it could be so lush in the fall? Dash posed for me all over the garden. Bouncy Bear photo bomb. And then the sleet hit.
Mooha wanted to check out what the colony cats were doing, but instead they got scared and scattered. Who’s afraid of a little black cat? They scattered straight into their chiminea cat house. Mooha as always will stay safe indoors, and I put out extra food so the colony cats will hopefully stay safe… Read more »
The garden is now an autumn garden, but I left the large stalks of sunflowers standing for Funny Face. He was using the sunflowers all summer as scratching posts. Next year I’ll plant more for him. The bigger the better – Mammoth Russian seemed to work the best. And then the sunflowers fed the… Read more »
