Hi,
My 83-year-old mother has been feeding two groups of cats at midnight for 16 years. A week ago, after totaling her car (though she is fine), she confessed she can no longer see at night. She finally agreed to move the feeding to 530 AM (daybreak). It has been a week, and only 1-5 of the 15 cat group, and zero of the 8 cat group comes to eat. (Nobody is available to help with the feeding, and I live a long distance away and do not drive. She cannot move the feeding incrementally because she can't drive at night now.)
Does anybody know if this low cat count signifies anything? For a long time, I have believed that most of the cats are domesticated and just come for supplementary meals (she feeds them canned and dry food). In the past, there were strays, but we spayed and neutered over the years, and none of the recent cats look hungry, although a couple of them scarf down the food before anyone can take it. Any thoughts?
