Still no cat with a white stripe. I did get one that has to be a parent to the kittens - it looks exactly like them! I also got a raccoon so I put some apples and marshmallows on the next tree to try to draw it away. I also put a trail of Jack Mackerel to the tree line. If I can recover one of my other cameras I am going to ask to put it on one of the houses in the backyard where Roy was seen.

At the second camera I decided to give some of the mackerel to Callie. As soon as she smelled it she gave an angry meow and came running. I thought she was going to attack me but she just really wanted the fish! She keep rubbing up against me and then I got the tupperware open. She immediately began slurping it up and I ended up leaving the container with her. I wasn't planning on, but she seemed to enjoy it so much I could help it.

The third camera is an issue - I can't seem to get a good picture there - either there is too much flash or it is too far away. I need to figure out what to do with this.

Leo is in the house. I heard a meowing and thought it was Theo but couldn't find him. So I opened up the garage and he was on the car. He didn't run so I coaxed him over to me. He did come over but I couldn't get him to walk in the house so I reached down, picked him up, and put him inside. He is going to the vet on Friday. He seems slightly upset - keeps meowing. But when I go down to him (he is in the basement - no barrier he just won't climb the stairs) he is quiet and climbs in my lap. I guess it is being in a new house with new cats.
