Okay, so he's an indoor/outdoor cat. After trying to find a place outside to feed him where neither the dogs nor the chickens could find it, I decided it was easier to feed him inside. Unlike the two spoiled rotten indoor cats, KiKi and Kitty, Bug doesn't mind eating the food that's already in the bowls. KiKi and Kitty insist upon fresh food from the bowl at each feeding. If Bug can learn some house manners - getting on countertops and the kitchen table is NOT allowed, he might get to stay in more often.
