I haven't been keeping up with the blog because I don't really have anything to report. Racoons have been eating my food so tonight I put out apples. hopefully that will help.

I did my usual rounds today. I got a new cat at one of my cameras - a simese. I also got permission to put a camera in the woods where he was last seen. I now need to make the tough decision on which camera to move. A friend sent me one that I have at my house now so I can see what is eating my food now that Leo has moved away.

So I went door to door again today. The good thing is that people seem to know me. Every single person gave me back my flyer and said my postcard was on their fridge and they were looking for Roy. One person did ask me if I have been looking for him since summer and seemed to be very surprised (not in a good way) that I am still looking for him. I don't know why I am letting someone else have so much space in my mind but I am now wondering if I should let it go. It's been over 6 months - is there really hope of finding him now?

I did my rounds with the cameras - none of the food dishes had been washed away. Looks like the camera in the senior community finally got the black cat - it is not Roy.

For the past three days we have had some serious rainstorms. My entire front yard/driveway is a lake. I have seen many roads are well on the way to being washed out.

Because of this I haven't bothered putting out more food or checking on the cameras. Since all the plates are in the open all I will do is get soggy friskies - which nothing eats. I am hoping that tomorrow will be better so I can go check on everything and knock on more doors.

Due to last nights huge rainstorm nothing was at any of the sites. I replenished all the friskies and set the third camera back up again. I have no idea why it wasn't working - maybe the cold?

I set it up in the house and it took pictures right away. I know that the cat with the white stripe is still in the area because I was told by the lady who owns the house the camera is at that she saw him. So I can't abandon the area until I know for sure if it was him.

It is raining so there is nothing to note at any of my locations. I did put out food to keep the animals in the area.

The first camera still only has the tabby. The tabby has been there a while because he was just hanging out by the shed for a while.

The second camera still is not taking pictures. I took it home with me so I can figure out with the issue is. I was talking to the lady who owns the house and she saw the cat with the white stripe again a few days ago while walking her dog. SO this cat is staying in the area. I will not abandon this area until I get a picture of it. She did say that he looked at her when she called his name. but Roy was partially deaf. I am not sure if this makes a difference or not. I am thinking of putting together a mug shot and showing it to her. Getting picture of different tuxedos and seeing if she can pick out the cat she saw. She did tell me I can keep the camera up as long as I need to - which is a big relief.

The third camera got a black and white cat - but it was too close to the camera so I moved the food back and hope that will help.
