Cat Call-

This photo was taken this summer.  It's the front of an old chicken coop-/ old living quarters-/ old 'another project that I wish we had the funds for'.

Recently I discovered Mama Stray Cat- AKA Oliver's Mom- has been passing through here.  One cold morning- on a trek to it, I have to pass through our old falling down stable [again: another 'wishing we had the funds for projects'] . Coming into the stables armed with big bag of cat food, bowls, water bottles, blankey, cat house-thing... I spot a grayish kitten in the stables.  He a seems to me as though he is one of Mama Strays- being I raised 6 of her kittens and found them all nice homes.  Including Oliver: Ollie-  who lives here, the life of luxury!  I've never been able to catch Mama Stray.  I need to have her neutered.  It's driving me slightly nuts that I am unable to capture her.  I constantly try to regain her trust. I've watched her at the end of the driveway- stalk rabbits in the brush.  It makes me very sad to think of her out there- when it's bitter cold, or pouring rain.  

It's 26 out now.  It was pretty cold on my face when I just made my way out there to check the food status.  I'm pretty determined.  I will catch Mama Stray.  If dreams and visions could become reality in a moments notice- The old chicken coop/living quarters would be rockin'... all fixed up.  A cool little outside office.  Mama Stray Cat could live there, have plenty of food and warmth.  It would be an amazing place.  I really think it will be one day, provided it can remain standing a few more seasons. Visions and dreams - I MAKE them realities... it just takes some time, funds and patience.
