A small colony of feral and stray cats who make their home here. They are probably all related somehow and may be related to my ‘Bika too, though exactly HOW they’re related is anyone’s guess!

Hat

Hat is just the sweetest boy! Affectionate, friendly and playful, he gets along well with the other 2 outside cats, apparently adores me and even greets my dogs. He’s adopted us!

Hat may be moving to “Indoor Cats” status in the near future – watch this space!

Update: Late at night on the Friday before Valentine’s day, 2010, Hat showed up at my house injured and frightened – it looked like he’d been attacked by some other animal. I took him inside and he became part of my “indoor family” that night. I couldn’t be happier – I love him, he belongs here!

Kit

Kit is the oldest of the bunch. He’s kind of a curmudgeonly loner, but he likes Hat. He has a limp and is the shyest of the 3 – I take care of him as best I can but I worry about him.

Cassie

Cassie is Hat’s little shadow. She’s very skittish and not “touchable” but she’s much bolder than Kit. She’s started to take treats from my hand and will sometimes sniff my fingers in greeting. It’s slow going, but there may be hope for socializing her.
