My Semi-Wild Friends


The boys are back, wanting the food I'm not serving right now (the good chow), and water from my plant-watering buckets, and a rest on the cool metal of the cars in the garage. They do not like getting their pictures taken for some reason. They are active hunters, and they patrol a regular route through the neighborhood. It includes our alley and driveway, which is a blessing. We've been completely free of rats and mice since Spot moved in, and they followed to put us on their route. Though she is smaller, a bit of a runt, she has a surprising amount of control over the boys. She can tell them to go away when she wants, and they do. The boys are powerfully beautiful cats as well as functional neighborhood patrollers, so I thank God for them.
