Blackie unleashes a mighty roar.

Dee: I hear you, George. I hear you.

After supervising my work in the garden, my manager thinks it’s time for a dinner break. #CommunityCats #StrayCats #TNR

When Dee first showed up and I was trying to figure out what to do with a feral cat, someone sent me a link to an article by someone who worked with feral cats. The author wrote: "Imagine you're stuck in a room with a bear." I can't find the article now. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

It took a while, but Dee has developed an intense love of treats. #CommunityCats #StrayCats #TNR.

Dee doesn’t glare at me all of the time … just most if it. #CommunityCats #StrayCats #TNR

Last night Dee allowed me to sit in the lawn chair near her. Conflicting messages. The paws under loaf indicated she was okay with it. The look said “Don’t get comfortable, Human.” #CommunityCats #StrayCats #TNR

Dee sneezed and it might be the cutest thing I’ve ever heard. Now she refuses to look at me. #CommunityCats #StrayCats #TNR

Blackie may not be able to tell time but he knows when the sun reaches the couch which seems far more useful.

This. Just this. Nine months ago he was outside.

Mike LePard @mikelepard.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

It is hard to put into words how happy it makes me to see Blackie like this.

I really didn’t want to vacuum and now I can’t.

Mike LePard @mikelepard.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

The researchers are cats, and are you going to argue with them? I didn’t think so.

The Neighborhood Watch has determined that the neighborhood is safe enough and has switched focus to zero in on the real culprits, the birbs. #Caturday

That was a weird morning for sure. He was mad as hell and also relieved. I was trying to remain calm, for both our sakes, while mentally scrolling through my options for getting him inside and into his room for quarantine.

It was a chilly morning so Cole went back to sleep on his heating mat after breakfast.

It explains why Dee greets me with a hiss.

“I’ll just write it all down so you don’t forget next time.”

The Neighborhood Watch is on high alert over an intruder in the garden.

Yesterday I repotted some catnip, but forgot to bring it in for the night. One of my prime suspects ….

After sleeping in my lap, Blackie has to nap in the sun in order to recharge.

2130

Mike LePard @mikelepard.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I’m trapped beneath a cat. Please send snacks.

3201

Mike LePard @mikelepard.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I have an outdoor supervisor too. She glares at me while inspecting my work which is always subpar in her opinion.

Mike LePard @mikelepard.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Dee decided to test the insulation and new straw in the shelter this morning. I’m sure I’ll receive copious notes about her experience. #CommunityCats #StrayCats #TNR

Mike LePard @mikelepard.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Added the insulation and first layer of straw to Dee’s shelter. As usual my supervisor was there to make sure it met with her exacting standards. #CommunityCats #StrayCats #TNR

I’m sorry, but I can’t do anything today. I have a cat in my lap. Federal law prohibits me from moving.

Mike LePard @mikelepard.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Dee had breakfast and is watching the world go by from the comfort of her heating mat. I need to add insulation to the shelter this weekend because it’s getting legitimately cold at night. #CommunityCats #StrayCats #TNR

Blackie: I don’t understand the word “wrong”.

Mike LePard @mikelepard.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Dee’s ready for dinner and she almost looks happy to see me. #CommunityCats #StrayCats #TNR

Let me help get you started on some of your flaws, Human. You know, just to get the ball rolling.

Mike LePard @mikelepard.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Did you say something about chilly fall days?

Mike LePard @mikelepard.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Blackie is annoyed that the paparazzi is interrupting his sun bathing.

Mike LePard @mikelepard.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

The Neighborhood Watch. Is he real or just a silhouette? Commit shenanigans and find out.

0151

Mike LePard @mikelepard.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

I frequently ask Blackie, “Who loves you?” The answer is always, “Everyone.” That’s true of every cat.

Coleman stopping by for a wee bit of the nip. #Caturday

Pretty sure it was more than 10 minutes. 😂😂

Spent the day cleaning and painting the guest shelters I put out for winter and of course my manager was there to supervise things. #CommunityCats #StrayCats #TNR

Mike LePard @mikelepard.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

I had to replace the door to Dee’s shelter so of course she had to be there to supervise and inspect my work. #CommunityCats #StrayCats #TNR

For #ThrowbackThursday one year ago today when I found Finn sleeping in the dryer. I miss the little knucklehead.

Mike LePard @mikelepard.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

That’s what I did with Blackie when I brought him inside. He retreated to the carrier when he heard a sound he didn’t recognize like the toilet flushing. I also had a blanket on top of the crate for additional “privacy”.

Blackie’s showing off his glowing whiskers on #WhiskerWednesday

Dee has found a shady spot under the peonies to ride out the heat. She has the gift of looking angry in virtually every picture. I actually kind of admire it. #CommunityCats #StrayCats #TNR
