3 1/2 cats?  hmmmm....that's interesting.  I assume (or at least hope) it's one that visits but isn't a permanent resident.  If not, we will be needing pictures to see what the other 1/2 is.

Spot on. There’s a young feral cat we’ve been feeding, trying to gentle it and go from there. We’ll either keep it or foster it until we can find it a home.

So far, it’ll take the food, but if we get closer than about 10 feet, it leaves like it’s late for a meeting.

Thanks for educating me.

Nothing to do with you, Brian. I was explaining to awty why I said we have '3 1/2' cats.

But lets face it, cat, dog or whatever, we are not.

Every morning especially, I am used to waking up around 6am, but my cat starts harrassing me, nudging me, jumping on me to say, "TIME TO FEED ME". He literally starts anywhere from 5:15 am, to 5:45am. And for a half hour to 45 minutes I have to deflect him gently from my body to tell him "it is not time yet". It is annoying as hell because he fucks up my sleep cycle.  But what can I do? I am not going to put him in a sausage grinder or send him to the pound. 

Humans just need to face, there is no such word as "owner" when it comes to discribing pets. My cat owns me.

There is this magic thing called a door.
