Our downstairs neighbours asked me to feed their cat for a week so of
course I said I would... Lola is a little sweety and the only time you see much of her is if you're the person feeding her - she's an indoor-outdoor semi-feral and when they go away she has to live outside... poor baby. I feel so sorry for her because she spends a lot of time crying on their doorstep and saying 'let me in, let me in' but they're not home, and being a semi-feral she can't be left inside polonca12000...
alone... anyway, I put her food and water out for her in bowls and she's very happy to get some lovings while she eats. The only problem is that the apartment complex has ducks. Not a lot of ducks, but some of the new tennants feed them right in front of their apartment doors... so the ducks have become very greedy, bold and demanding. Yesterday morning I took Lola's food downstairs and there were two big fat ducks chasing her away from her foodbowl, and since they're about four times the size of her there wasn't anything she could do to stop them. Poor baby! I put her food dish down outside OUR door upstairs and picked her up and carried her upstairs to eat her lunch on the landing. She was fine with being picked up but she started squirming when I carried her upstairs and saying 'help, I'm being kidnapped!' but she was happy to see her dish of food and she had a good nosh. After she finished she sat on our doorstep, so I said 'no sweety, you can't stay here' and I picked her up and started to carry her downstairs again, but she squirmed so I put her down and she went away under her own power. I'm hoping that she'll remember to come upstairs again when she gets hungry. mlbriggs...
