Today I got a phone call from someone about .8 of a mile away who has been feeding a black and white cat for a while. He wasn't too sure on when the cat showed up, but since he is close I am going to check it out. It is across the highway, so I am a little skeptical, but it is well within walking distance so if Roy crossed the highway this is a likely spot. And it would explain why he hasn't come back - I have a feeling that a crossing would be a one time only thing. The funny thing is that I put a poster on a telephone pole in this guy's yard a few weeks ago.
I will be going over tomorrow at lunch break to put up a camera. I was going to go tonight, but when I got home it was dark and I would rather put up a camera in the daylight. It isn't always easy to decide where to put a camera and I figured I shouldn't make it more difficult by doing it when I can't see. I had already put the camera together when I came to that decision so I put it outside and will see what I am feeding besides Grey. Since it is cold enough to freeze the wet food I have been putting out two bowls of dry instead of one dry and one wet. When I check up on them both bowls are empty. I put a bowl of wet and dry in the garage for Grey and he eats that so I figure there has to be something else out there eating all that food. Either that or Grey is going to be one fat cat come summer!

Today was my mom's birthday so I met her for dinner. She lives 2 hours away from me so I haven't had a chance to do anything today. The printing people said they would call the people who were to print the mailing labels tomorrow and see what happens. I would really like to get those postcards in the mail. it seems like a lot of people feed stray cats without checking to see if they are lost. If that is happening to Roy I would like to reach them. I would like to post my online copy of the postcard here. I will check to see how to do that.

I got a phone call today - a lady has just seen my flyer and thinks it looks like a cat who she has been feeding for a while. She hasn't seen this cat in a week but will call me if he comes back. She seems to have a lot of experience with cats - she seems to be feeding a colony and traps, neuters, and releases so I am confident if she tries to catch him she won't scare him away. I have my fingers crossed it is him, and that if so he comes back.

My connection to the internet has been down the last few days - but I have nothing new to report. It seems like my feral is getting used to me. I went into the garage to grab the empty bowls. I refilled the water dish and went to put it back - and he was inspecting the dishes to see if I put anything new out. He just slowly walked to the car and sat under it watching me put out the new water and refill the dry food bowl. Willis got into the garage and wanted to make friends with Grey but I picked him up and took him out. I don't know how Grey would react to another cat and since there is an open window in there I don't want to take chances with Willis running off.

It is supposed to snow again soon. I was hoping that winter was over. I still don't have the postcards - I will have to call tomorrow and see what the deal is.
