Susan, sounds like Sophie's got her head on straight when it comes to dogs, LOL! At least she's finally comfy enough with Shorty to join you all at night.

Welcome to Oscraps Carol
Thank you, Jenn. LOL @ "magical feeding station." I wish it wasn't *quite* so magical...I may need to start a gofundme to pay for the darn food that my neighbors' cats eat, who have purrfectly good homes with purrfectly good food to eat!Man, I am so sorry that I am late to the party, Carol
I do love, though, that the seemingly/definitely abandoned kitties make their way to me. I'm very happy to have them.
I was thinking about how expensive that must be! And if you have other critters around like skunks, racoons, etc., I am sure they eat the food, as well! Maybe put out a "tip jar" by your mailbox that the neighbors can donate to?Thank you, Jenn. LOL @ "magical feeding station."

You're not wrong! If I had a mailbox on my property (we have those mailbox "banks" at the entrance), I would consider that idea! I will say that my back-door neighbor is trying to get her cats in before I put the canned food out since we last chatted; they stop by for dry food only occasionally and I'm okay with that.I was thinking about how expensive that must be!

I think I need to text the neighbor whose cat comes by constantly all day and all night, and likely eats most of the canned. He's supposed to come in at night and they haven't been doing a great job of that. He's really my annoyance cat. Maybe I should trap him and take him home one night.
Oddly, I used to have raccoons and fox stop by nightly and, occasionally a skunk or opossum. Haven't seen any of them in almost a year, not even over the winter. I did have a skunk on my property a week or so ago; his "eau de pew" woke me up. But he never showed up at the feeder. Thankfully.
I think trapping him is a good idea...will be a "stronger message" to that particular neighbor! lol That is odd that your critters aren't around anymore! I wonder what is up with that?! Back when we lived in the Nashville area we had a lot of stray cats and oodles of skunks that would devour the dry food that I put out. The most adorable thing was when a family of skunks would come and eat...baby skunks are SO ADORABLE!!
