feeding the hungry

The snowstorm on Friday has brought more birds and squirrels to the feeders. I've seen doves, pigeons, starling, chickadee & squirrels eating from what is supposed to be 'squirrel-proof feeders'. Aren't squirrels hilarious? The red ones are nasty!

This is wonderful entertainment for my kitty clients. What a great way to pass the time while their owners lie on a beach somewhere. When I was over at the 'spot' to feed the ferals there were birds waiting there for food. Everything is so hungry these days.
At home, mom & kid spend their morning in a box and miss everything

while I talk to my orchid in hopes that it likes that and will bloom forever. I'm good with cats....not so much orchids.

I have a busy weekend of cat-sitting but also keeping an eye on Lily. Her ear is looking much better but we still have a few more days of medication. I have noticed just today that she did not eat  breakfast. She just wasn't interested. I am worried about her now. I was told she has a heart murmur and she has lost some weight. I will make an appt. on Monday for a blood test to see what is going on with this beautiful little cat. Until then, I'll coax her with all her favorites to get her eating. Along with the contentment & familiarity of living with older cats, there is always so much worry.
