vickieann-nc.bsky.social @vickieann-nc.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Ocie, the feral kitty, requested some food on brick sill, sheltered from the rain this morning. She has other dry feeding stations, but she chose this window. I think she knows we have a visiting cat inside & wanted to check it out. 070
vickieann-nc.bsky.social @vickieann-nc.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Sweet Witty the kitty is visiting for a few weeks while her mom is traveling. She has a bob tail. Since she is a rescued stray, we have no idea if she was born that way or was injured. No matter. She’s a delight! 050
