I've written here about two felines which are among the menagerie I feed at my back door. We call them (left to right in the above pic) The Stranger Cat and The Stranger Stranger Cat. The Stranger Cat comes up and howls for food and demands to be petted. The Stranger Stranger Cat hides or hangs back, waiting for the food dish to be filled and no humans to be present, then creeps up and partakes…although there was one evening The Stranger Stranger Cat was uncommonly friendly and did come up to me while I was serving and he (she?) even tolerated a little petting. That only happened the one time.
This photo was taken at night, which is the only time both come around together. During daylight, The Stranger Cat is sometimes seen. The Stranger Stranger Cat only shows up after dark. There's also a grey cat that's been turning up lately. The other night, I walked into the kitchen, looked out on the back porch and saw the three pussycats all standing around the supper dish, not eating, just slowly hissing at each other. Finally, The Stranger Cat and The Stranger Stranger Cat outhissed him and the grey one fled. You just don't want to mess with Stranger Cats.
