Midnight Snack

Was going out on the front porch just now (at 3:00 am), opened the door, flipped on the porch light, and saw this in Cheezburger's food bowl:



He was the cutest little thing. I kinda felt sorry for him wandering around in the cold rain, just looking for something to eat. He was awfully young.

Poor Cheezburger the Porch Cat was hunkered down on the doormat looking terrified. Hurrumph! Some guard cat he turned out to be.

The little guy just kept noshing away on kitty kibble long enough for me to fetch the camera and fiddle with the settings. Only got one good photo before he was through and he wandered off.

He was too little to jump off the porch so he was trying to figure out a way down when I stepped outside and really messed with his head using the flash.



Now that he knows we have free handouts I imagine this won't be the last time we see him...much to Cheezy's chagrin.

Isn't your porch big enough for a porch cat and porch possum?

Maybe you can make him a little shed at the bottom of the steps so he doesn't have to navigate them?

We also have a little 'possum that shares a food dish with Gizzy the cat.
As long as I keep the dish filled,everyone seems to be happy about the arrangement.

As long as they don't come in the house, I'm okay.

They are kinda cute when they are little. We have a feral cat in the pole building that shares her food with a baby possum and several raccoons...not necessarily by choice but she does anyway. Possums eat the tops of trees in the winter for food = death for the trees.

Wow, that's cool! I agree with Sage--they are so ugly, they're cute. :)
