i think someone may be taking the food i leave for the feral cat. ive been feeding a cat that lives under a building in a closed for the winter hasidic jewish camp 1/4 mile away from where i live in upstate NY. i had been putting the food just inside the front gate since it wasnt locked, and then a couple of weeks ago i saw someone lock the front gate and i think probably put a "no trespassing" sign on it because i dont think i remember it being there before. i was thinking someone related to the camp may have noticed my foot prints in the snow leading to the gate. so since then i have been leaving food about 15 feet away from the gate, outside the camp. my footprints are visible from the road. for food and water trays ive been using the black plastic microwave food trays that are left over from the stouffers type frozen dinners i eat. if the cat food tray is empty it could certainly be blown away by a strong wind, but the water tray freezes very quickly, the cat only drinks a bit of it if it gets to it before it freezes.
does anyone know if it could have been windy enough last night to blow away a half full tray of frozen water tray such as that? the trays are about an inch deep and 7 inchs by 6 inchs.
at least i know it got its food the night before last night because the trays were there empty in the morning, for a person to pour the food out of the tray and put it back in place would have been too messy.
my wireless webcam doesnt have enough range to watch the area from where i live 1/4 mile away.
ive seen one of the trays go missing before but this is the first time ive seen both trays missing including what would have been one of them with frozen water.
does anyone know if it was windy enough last night in upstate NY to blow a such a tray half full of frozen water?
