The Cat Is Busy
@thecatisbusy.bsky.social
The Cat was a much loved alpha-female feral, OTRB 4.5.2021. Photos are of her, her family and the feral cats who we used to feed, plus more recent photos of local village and farm cats.
This is the only photo of Mrs Bright. She and Mr Bright were friendly for a short while, hence her name. Mrs Bright was feral and would do almost anything to avoid humans; she was happiest in the fields, looking over the crops, at one with nature.

Sundown hoping the humans stay their distance. Like her mother She-ba, she was not a great fan.

Weaning was a very grown-up affair for Kiwi's kittens Stardust and Ariel. They were disciplined and well-behaved and more than ready for solid food, easing Kiwi's burden of supplying all their nutritional needs.

Mandarin and Smokey were on a mission - they had plans for the day 🐾❤️

Whitefur and Longtail sharing their siesta on the terrace in a pile of fresh olive cuttings. It was nice to see Garden Family and Visiting Cats bonding.

Yes, I did walk through some high grasses in the fields to get here, as it happens. Why do you ask?

This was the face of a cat who didn't think twice about biting and scratching you if you overstepped the allotted number of strokes along her back. Rules were made to be kept, or so Visitor Cat said.

Sister and brother Linnet and Raven sharing a bowl while Pascha had his own. Linnet would already have eaten on the feeding station, where I would have been putting out the food.

Sniffly Cat taking her siesta in the driveway on a sunny, spring day. She was a lovely cat, placid in nature but not friendly; she became a regular visitor to the drive and garden for food and water.

Visitor moved in to the garden with young Tiger after his sister died in the fields. As The Cat harboured a strong dislike of Visitor, Longtail stayed with them for a week as protector and, once they were settled, returned to the fields.

Places to go, cats to see.

If I can't see you, then you can't see me.
Mr Tiffin's logic was impeccable.

Kiwi (or Madam Kiwi of the Xkura, to give her her full title) was a CH cat (cerebellar hypoplasia) who was brought to the garden by Dinky.
She was malnourished and weak, but flourished with regular food and water, becoming stronger and healthier.

Longtail and NVQ squaring up in the field. There was a lot of posturing, wailing and hissing, followed by a short and angry fight in the long grass, and then they mutually agreed to part company and go their separate ways, none the worse for wear.

Dandy Grey considers his options. His belly is full and he has the evening ahead of him with places to go and cats to see.
