petrea_mitchellYesterday, a gigantic, uncollared, clearly unfixed orange tabby tomcat strolled into the backyard. He gave the feral cats' food a quick sniff, headed for the back fence, sniffed the air a bit there, then strolled out again, stopping to spray a bush on the way.
...completely ignoring Barbecue Cat, who was perched in a highly visible spot, assuming a defensive posture. I'm guessing that since she was spayed years ago, she was not what he was looking for.
I've never seen this cat before, but he could have been doing this for years for all I know. If I hadn't been working from home with a good view of the backyard, I'd never have known he was here. (My first couple months of working from home, I was at a card table next to the dining table, in the middle of the house with no backyard view.)
