I was going to parade around in my micro bikini to attract @Shadrach s attention but to be honest I'm way to tired. So he will have to just pine for me

On top if my chores and home upgrading I've been trying to rescue an old cat that appears too have lost his/her home. In the past few months I have realised this little mite is totally lost and today I saw that it's body weight has reduced.
I've called a cat rescue and noticed he/she keeps going into one garden, the other property they used to frequent has been bought so their sanitary is even more limited.

For days I've tried to make contact with the people in the place the cat runs to, its breaking my heart as there is no response from them as yet. I know I'm wrong but I went into their garden and left a small bowl of food and vegetables with water mixed in. I pray that the cat finds it.
I will try to see if these people will except the rescue trap I intend to set for this little old cat again tomorrow.

How I wish I could buy a large net to catch it. It would be spoiled rotten and I know I could rehome this cutie. That's if I could let it go

It a real brain drain and I'm tired but all worth it if i succeed.

Thank you for trying to save this sweet soul. Remember, it is better to ask for forgiveness then it is to ask for permission. Cat nap that sweet baby! Please keep us updated!

Lovely picture Bob.

I took 10 just to get that one. Thank heaven for digital cameras. That would have been $$$$$ to get developed and find out I missed it anyway in the olden days or is that days of yore?

Excellent!!!

If all goes according to plan, I should have babies around May 17th!!

I know she has at least 8 under there, I'll check this weekend for sure. I'll do a quick candle to, just for an idea.

That is a lovely mugshot, Bob! She is a very pretty hen.

If you remember back when I got her and Maleficent, I was only going to keep one. The other was to go to a friend of mine who had chickens. Mrs BY Bob wanted to keep her because she was so pretty and she did not want a third black hen. Maleficent had stolen my heart.

Thankfully my friend told me to not split them up and keep both. I am so grateful that is how it worked out.

Shad, I hope so too, but still no luck. He can’t fly, and I found no breeches in the fence line anywhere on my property. It’s a great mystery. Not even a feather. I’m full of unwarranted emotions at this point. I LOVE THAT CRAZY BEAUTIFUL ROOSTER!

She is very beautiful, my Canna was beautiful like she too.

Yes Canna was beautiful.

I've been doing what I can to make the coops dry. The plywood I bought for this coop was crap and the layers peeled away. I had to wait some time for the butile sheet I needed for the roof. I picked up 22mm thick OSB a couple of days ago. OSB is also hard to come by now.
As you can see, it's a bit damp but it's done at last.
This is Tribe 3's coop and it was leaking and damp.
That's Tribe 3 in the lower picture. They're a bit damp just like me.

Good luck on a successful hatch. Will these be Ned babies?
