"This is the violet hour, the hour of hush and wonder, when the affectations glow and valor is reborn, when the shadows deepen along the edge of the forest and we believe that, if we watch carefully, at any moment we may see the unicorn."

Animal Wednesday - Cat Butts and Other Feral Stuff

The other day, I received a packet from Lolo, full of assorted goodies and one thing inside was some cat food from Holland!  (Courtesy of Marianne) 
I ventured downstairs to my garden to see if any of my "Feral Furballs" were around (it was not time for their breakfast or dinner)....and yes, Mr. Orange and Charlie were sunning themselves. As you can see, they LOVED the food!

Mr. Orange says: "Oh yeah, yummy! Danke Tantes Lolo und Marianne!"

After a snack, it's time for some grooming!
And......I had to include this wonderful video......
Happy Animal Wednesday everyone!
Love,
♥ Robin ♥

    Love to you and Bibs!

    Feral Animals are a HUGE problem in the States....but thankfully there are people who do care and do their best to feed them and protect them.

    Love to you and the Family....including the Furballs!

    oooh, love love love white kitty drinking from the froggy fountain! I did have to turn off that music though :P
    Thank goodness so many of us will fight for animal rights and feed the less fortunate. Even if the treats have to come from the nederlands!

    Loved those cat butts...it's been way too long since I've had the pleasure of seeing those tails held high like this.

    I'm so glad you take care of the feral cats, Robin. I wish I could do so here...there are many of them...but they are soooo wild. I leave a few bowls of food out for them, but rarely will they come close enough to try them and it is usually the pack rats which will benefit.

    The cats that can live here in the extreme weather, Summer and Winter, with the amount of predators, must be very strong and wily. I know they are...they don't even really look like house cats anymore.

    your kitties must have gone crazy with the new cat food -- i wonder how dutch pet food differs from our usual fancy feast ;-) you are so sweet to care for these little guys♡♡

    love the video - the cats just keep coming nonstop through the hole in the fence!

    This post really pleased me. Your photos with captions are wonderful. And the video is great and somewhat familiar to me, although my feeding area has a crawl-through space under the fence and there are only 4-5 bowls a night. That gray-and-white cat in the clip? We had one who looked like that who started coming around about nine years ago. He now sleeps on the bed next to me!
