Scooter 2, a wild cat
For the past few weeks, I have been feeding a stray cat that is wandering the neighborhood. Every morning, Scooter 2 waits in a little lump on the other side of the fence. Normally, I feed the cat 9 Lives, but one day I was out of cat food, so came with a can of tuna. Once I opened the can, the cat danced around, tentatively came near, and couldn't wait to dip into the fish. She still frightens easily if I change positions. Last year, my husband brought home Scooter 1 (all our wild cats are Scooters). Scooter wintered with us and then took off once the weather became warm. So, I hope Scooter 2 will trust me and let me pet her, learn that humans can be good cat people. It will take a lot of patience and hard work.
