I have a question I am afraid to ask. (Because I can see where this may end up).
I posted on Christmas eve about a poor little stray kitten that was starving - and I left out some food for it. I could not continue to feed it in that spot, but I followed it's tracks in the snow, and found a fairly secluded spot on my own property, and left out a dish of kibble. It got wet, mushy, bits of tree bark fell in, but I did not want to do any more permanent type of feeding station unless I knew that cats had found the food. The little kitten was the third stray I have seen over the past few months in the neighbourhood.
Tonight when I got in, the dish was completely empty - and there was water and bits of bark still in the bottom, so I know that nobody just dumped it out.
So how do I know that it was cats, and not the resident rodents, who we do not want to encourage.
Stupid question, I know, but I will not be happy with fat happy well fed mice and squirrels moving into my attic. We got Sam to get rid of those little pests.
