Be kind to One Another---and Sushi!

 Here is Sushi--the feral cat who came in from the cold--who lived under our bed for about 4 mos-- came to the edge of the bed to eat--I could only touch her with an extended back scratcher ---used her litter box on Himself's side of the bed only at night when we were sleeping---and finally, one day---I went into our bedroom, and there she was , sitting "ON" our bed-----We figured she was a kitten--as she came into "heat" while residing under the bed--so about 6 most old! We had her neutered ---had her shots-- and even tho I tried to give her to the place which takes in stray animals, neither they, nor the city would take her, as she was feral---Poor wee thing eh?---

So, that's when I found a site on the computer which told me "How to train a Feral Cat"------and Sushi and I began to get to know each other--At one point, I tried to get her to live downstairs, but woke up the next morning, with her again, under our bed--I realized then that she must like us or why did she want to be under our bed--close to us?--

Anyway, she still lives mostly upstairs here--doesn't care for wee Lopez ----but, we know she goes downstairs every night--wanders around while Lopez is in his crate-She likes Beau-- every night she comes into our room, jumps over Himself, and comes and lies on my chest and purrs and purrs--then she leaves and goes wandering around the house, but returns again to our room and my chest a few more times in the night--Funny thing--If I don't hear her jump on the bed , she gets behind my head, in our bed, and pulls my hair , until I wake up, to stroke her fur.

She has personality plus-- how on earth she survived her first summer as a kitten outside--then the fall, and winter, when it was 30 below zero.  We finally trapped her on our lower deck, outside-- to get her in from the cold! Here foxes  would look at her as food--Lynx also--

So that is her story--probably one of many stories just like hers, as people seem to dump pets they don't want--just leave them in the bush to fend for themselves-SAD!

I must inform yu also, that I am NOT feeding the Hummingbirds anymore for this year--There are a few stragglers still around-----Hopefully they get the idea soon that it is time to leave!--  so, please watch for them around yer feeders--  I'm sure any that you see were probably here at our 3 feeders---  Can yu please welcome them to your area--give them a meal, as they  continue their trip to Mexico-??

so--that is all for today---  Lopez is calling-- but-------  Talking to you makes my day-- 

Lord love a Duck! --Be kind to one another---to the birds and the bees--and stray cats--It's what we are supposed to do----
