Title: Sheltering from the rain today
Post by: Squash64 on May 07, 2011, 15:05:31
Keith, E.T. and Wanda followed me over to my neighbour's plot and took shelter under a table.

Am I the only person to think that E.T. (on the right) has quite a strange, bad-tempered look about her?

It's tough luck having a marking that looks like a frown crease! Lovely pics as usual. Hope Psycho wasn't caught out in it.......

E.T. has a rather unusual look which I like!  Doesn't Borlotti like her as well?

ET has character, but not sure I would like him biting my legs, but Dulce did scratch my nose, but my fault for holding him upside down and tickling him.  Served me right.  I blame the parents, please don't give him an ASBO.  If he wasn't a bit wild he could not survive so he is only being a wild cat and domesticated kittens will bite whilst playing but mum boxes their ears and they stop.

I think all three look lovely in their own way. It must be lovely having company when you go to your allotment. :)

It looks like an "Oi, Betty-stop the rain now" look to me ;D

I never thought about E.T.'s markings making her look like she does but I'm sure you're right.  Her behaviour has changed so much in the past month.  Previously she was extremely timid and watched me from a distance, only going in the area where I feed them.  Now, she lies quite close to me on the plot and keeps me company like the others do.

Psycho doesn't seem to care about getting wet (or anything else for that matter) She was there too but she couldn't sit with the other three because they don't like her.

I love watching them and taking photos, cats are a whole new experience for me.  :)

They are all feral cats Poppie, so I don't know anything about their background.  Before I started feeding them every day they were very shy and would run away from me.  Now they stay on my plot and watch me working,  I can walk next to them and they stay put.
