Lately I've been noticing a big, chubby rag-doll-like beige cat walking through our backyard in the afternoon and near or in our garage. The other night, when my husband went to close the garage door, the same cat was startled and jumped out of the garage. Apparently, this cat had lifted the plastic lid off one of the garbage cans, had gotten into a black plastic garbage bag, and was feasting on four chicken bones (barbecue chicken from our supper). As the cat looks big and healthy, could he be a feral cat? We have a new neighbor on our street that built a wooden fenced-in area next to the house for his dogs. I'm surmising that maybe he has a cat, too, and that explains why we've been noticing this cat. Could the cat already be stalking territory in wait of my female kittens??
