Yesterday I put out the remnants of the chicken - the skin & fat - on to the table for the birds. (Any meat was stripped & put in small parcels in the freezer for our later consumption.) The birds obviously didn't eat it all. Instead we attracted a black & white cat. The first time we spotted him , he was half-way up the trellis to the bird table. We scared him away. He disappeared at a rate of knots.
The Fox continued to prepare the meal. In the time it took for the Fox to cook the rice that cat reappeared half a dozen times. We kept darting out, hissing & shouting. He kept coming back.
Now, this was a cat that had clearly been to church with me & heard the sermon encouraging perseverance in adversity.
As the meal ended & the gloom descended, guess who was back. Yep, a small black & white shape reappeared. Again we scared it away.
After the meal, I hastily removed the remaining chicken & brought it inside overnight.
I've just put it out again. I wonder if the cat will be back.
