    I put 2 large bells on my 2nd cat's collar.

    She was a killing machine - the bells made no difference to her ability to decimate the wildlife at all.
    I think some cats are just more murderous than others.
    I seem to have had more than my fair share of that type.

    We think he colouring helps, she is invisible in bushes.

    OH has been told to tell her she's a big brave girl, wait till she's not looking and clear it up. He's finding it really hard tho he doesn't kill insects he so soft it's one of the reasons I love him.

    Will get pics over the weekend as I am going to be able to spend some quality time with then.

    Tomcat has got fat, he's eating the kitten food when he can get to it so need to look at what we can do to sort that out.

    Eta a cats belly shouldn't swing when they run!

    She is a gorgeous girl, melly.
    And Tomcat is a very well-dressed boy.

    I will be missing in action for the next couple of weeks, we're off to Greece.
    It's our 6th time in 7 years at the same accommodation & I feed lots of stray cats.

    I'm a bit like the Pied Piper - I must post a photo with me carrying 2 plates of food with a horde of cats following me with tails upright.

    They know me, my OH walks past and they ignore him.
    Me? Even if I'm going back to the accommodation from the pool, they clock me.

    2 of the cats have been there since our first time, one is a small black girl that is very fussy & I call her 'hoover' because that's what she does with the food. :D

    I feed them 2 x 400gm tins of cat food every day (on 2 plastic plates that I take with me) once in the morning and once about 6pm.

    And I always take a plastic bag out with me to bring back any left-over food.

    I guess some people might say that it's cruel to feed cats and then leave them but I like to think that I give them a good start (or end) to the season ready for the winter.
