Mr. Big Butt

I know, I know, never feed a stray cat if you do not want it to come back. That's all well and good if the cat seems to be in good shape and maybe just lost and trying to find its way home but when I see the same cat day after day, obviously starving, I cannot help myself and throw caution to the wind and buy a bag of cat food and give it a name. Mr. Big Butts just so happens to be one of those cats. I resisted as long as I could and finally gave in and now I look forward to his daily visit. No kind deed goes unrewarded and although I still have mice, leaving Mr. Big Butt some kibble everyday has also brought to my front porch one bluejay and three crows. Its great fun to watch the three crows try to sneak the food, after all, if it's not stolen, it is not worthwhile. The crows prefer to sneak up one by one and steal a morsel and then take off only to come back a few minutes later for more. One of the crows is obviously a male because he always struts his "stuff", puffing himself up to impressed the ladies, and then steals the food. The three crows are never too far away, they like to land on the other side of the porch and slink to where the food is but when the bluejay arrives, they all take a step back, as if in respect or fear.

The image is a freebie from Beccy's Place and below is a picture of Mr. Big Butts himself. On the other hand, it might be Ms. Big Butts and I will have to buy more cat food! Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures but they were taken through two doors.

  8. WoAh!!! That's a big kitty! What ever my kitty doesn't eat, the squirrels get. They act all sneaky like we don't see them coming up on the porch. Then of course my pooch goes to the glass door and scares the poop out of them. Hahahaha!
    Fabby card and beautiful shading! ~jeni :)

  11. Fabulous Card my cat Jester could pass as Mr Big Butts. I also loved sharing your enjoyment of the little things in life reading your post today. I too appreciate being able to sit back and watch the antics of the small visitors to our home.

  13. You probably already know this, but your little visitor is a SHE since all torties are female....so she's really MRS. Big Butt. If you keep feeding her, she'll also soon be Mrs. Big Gut. Ha ha ha, I slay myself.

    Fabby card, Miss Tammy!
