When I checked the cat feeder this morning I found that it had been attacked during the night. The attacker peeled back the wood panel and ripped open the feeding cup. This gave it direct access to the feed bin and all the food it held spilled out. It is possible the raccoons are back. That may be what spooked the cats. Our neighbor just cleared out the section of his yard on the other side of the fence from my shed. It had been left to go to seed and could have been home to some critters. Now it is clear and has a boat pad and boat on it.
.............................The aftermath of the attack.I repaired and strengthened the feeder and set up the dog crate as a preliminary to trapping the culprit. I'll bait it with nuts and fruit (things cats don't want) and if it gets eaten consistently I'll rig the crate to trap whatever it is.
Penny’s dental appointment went well. She has healed nicely and can eat anything she wants once again. We used the morning to restock our fruit supply and get milk and eggs.
My mp3 player arrived while we were out of town so I’ve been learning to use it and loading it with audio books, comedy albums and music. I used it while I was working today and it works out quite well. The technology available to us is amazing. This little device has 2 complete audio books, 10 music and comedy albums and about 100 songs loaded and available with the push of a button. If I get bored with that I can listen to the FM radio. If I think of something I need to do I can record a reminder. I can also set it to record off the radio for a set amount of time. Maybe I won’t be missing car talk as often now.
We are watching that low-pressure system that was in Jacksonville the morning we left. They got 6 inches of rain that day. The system is supposed to drift across Florida and into the Gulf. There is a good scenario (no tropical formation) and a bad one – The weather folks don’t know what it will do. It’s a good thing they can accurately predict global warming effects for the rest of the century. It’s the 24-hour forecast that gives them problems.
