When I woke up this morning there were 4 -5 inches of snow on the ground. *sigh* I wasn't expecting it and was really unhappy to see it. As expected there were no new pictures on my camera.

Leo was back - he was looking in my doors again. I went out and he ran down the stairs to the corner of my house. I called to him asking if he really wanted to go away. He hesitated then started back to me. He stopped at the food dishes then slowly came up the stairs. I keep calling to him and finally he came to me. He let me reach out and slowly pet his head with my pinky. One of my kittens came out and the two of them sniffed noses for a while. Then he turned and left and this time I couldn't coax him back. This is definately not a feral cat. He is either lost or dumped. When he first appeared I did a search and it didn't seem like anyone was looking for him. I will be calling the shelter Wed and seeing if they are no-kill and have a space. I think Leo could be a sweet cat if given a chance.

I put up a camera at my food. I have three different tracks in my front yard and 2 in my backyard this morning. I don't know if it was the same cat checking the food dishes or a few different ones but I figure it couldn't hurt to check. If Roy is coming would he know this is home and come to the door? Or would he still be in survival mode? He did go outdoors sometimes when he was home so I don't know.
