Where did my ferals go?

I have been thinking about my 3 feral males, Ranger, Hosta and Patches.

I brought the last of the female cats in, in the spring of 09. Slick had 6 kittens shortly after. It was tough, and I found homes for 4 kittens but Slick and her two kids remain with us.

Anyway......shortly after she came in, all the males disappeared. They had been here for a couple of years. Even before Slick showed up. I would see Ranger on the roof of the shed, sunning himself. Hosta, under one of my Hostas waiting for food. Cute little Patches.

There is a guy about 1/2 mile down the road who has given his garage over to all the strays around here. Everytime I go by, there are cats everywhere. We live in a rural area, so cats are really numerous around here.
Do you think my 3 guys made it down there? I tend to think yes, that it is only a stones throw away.

At least, that is what I want to believe.

Hmmm if you think your cats are there, maybe you should check the place. For how long they have been missing?

Since the spring of 09 they have been gone. I could stop by, but if they aren't there that would make me feel bad.

So, I just drive by and look. I guess I want to believe they are there.

Aw hun,

The strays that I grew attached to in my neighborhood, and then disappeared after a couple years - well I keep thinking someone took them in. I hope so.

I bet your feral boys are down there, where some she-cats who are still interested in their charms are still available. It's their way.
