Mystery Kitty
The mystery kitty started hanging around last summer, fighting with our cats through the wire in the catio. You can read more about that at https://wp.me/p1yQyy-cr8. He has always run away from us whenever he sees us, but Laurie noticed he’d been looking thin, so she started leaving food and water out for him. He was meowing at the Sally port door this afternoon, and our cats were not fighting with him through the wire. I walked out the door and he ran. I sat down on the step and called him. He slowly came back, sniffed me, got up on the step next to me, and let me pet him for a few seconds before he ran off again. I went back inside and in a few minutes he was meowing at the door again. I took a can of cat food out and put it in his food bowl, and he really appreciated the canned food. I sat on the step with him eating at my feet and took a few photos. He definitely looks rougher than he did when we first started seeing him last summer.

If you didn’t find the owlet in the long shot, here’s a closer view.

Looking like you may need to give the mystery kitty a name. Thanks for the sneak peak at the owlette.
His name is Doppel, because the first time I saw him in the dark, I thought he was Spunk. We started calling him Spunk’s doppelgänger, the Doppelgänger kitty, and then Doppel. I’ve been away during owlette season. Thanks, couriers.
What a beautiful yellow in the skies! Lucky stray cat has you and Laurie to feed him! ☺️ maybe the cat will adopt you
I think we’ve been adopted since he’s been hanging around for so long. Today was the first he let me get close to him. Thanks, Becky.
Oh that’s good. He has siblings now lol
Doppel (great name) looks indeed like a mystery kitten… I’m sure he’s very welcome in your family.
Oh poor thing that kitty. I know friends will have been found in you and Laurie though. Gwendolyn takes the prize for posing today.
Gwendolyn was hamming it up. Thanks, Shey.
Oh the kitty has character.
Mystery kitty is one lucky guy……life “on the street” is pretty tough – relying on the kindness of strangers can be dicey at best but mystery kitty sounds like he’s beginning to trust humans thanks to your efforts. His face says (to be) “I’ve had hard times but I appreciate any help I’m offered!”……….Oh – and I am 99.9% sure I see the owlette!

You probably saw the owlette. Thanks, Pam.
I found the owlette in the long view, although it took some doing. Could Mystery Kitty have found a new home?
He’s been hanging around for months, we only recently started feeding him. Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
I didn’t find the the owlet Tim, But enjoyed seeing the others. Thanks.
Did you see it in the close-up shot? Thanks, Inchy.
Erm, er… no. Glaucoma and a Cataract, I don’t even know if I’m on the list. Struggling a bit. Cheers. Love to all.
OMG! Poor mystery Kitty. He/she is beautiful. I wonder if Kitty will stay?
Yes, I found the owlet!
My tree is fabulous. Spring is weird here this year. One day it’s 20c, the next day it’s 2c. No green, yet. Come to think of it, I can’t recall seeing any tulips.
Neat post Tim. Keep us posted about Mystery Kitty. Will you name it? xx
The kitty’s name is Doppel, short for doppelgänger (he looks like Spunk at night). He’s been hanging around for months now, only starting to get near us. Thanks, Resa.
Love it!!
Ahhh, what amazing photos!! Your cats are so cute, and Mystery Kitty is a cool addition to the pack! 🐈⬛🐈
Thanks, Samantha.
Ihpe the mystery kitty will be okay and stay. The photos are great. I’m so happy the kitty is getting fed.
Thanks, Gigi.

You always seem to be surrounded by cats. What a wonderful state to be in!
I did find the owlets in the first photo on magnification. Flowers, cats, birds and beautiful scenery. You are in your element, Tim!
Mystery Kitty needs a good Price household name now you are feeding him and making friends.
The owlettes are hard to photograph with the leaves blocking them. Thanks, Lavinia.
I can see the owlets head in a ring of leaves to the right of the visible rising tree trunk.
That’s where it is. Thanks, Robbie.
😊💖
Ah I’d say Doppel just might be staying! Bet he loves the attentions and food. So good seeing your kitties Tim … Now where is that Jake boy?
Jake is here being a lazy dog. Thanks, Julie.
Always room for one more!
I suppose. Thanks, Dawn.
