Sweeet Gesture

Purely unintentional I'm sure, but I thought it was sweet. I've been giving the strays food in an attempt to get closer to them. Momma cat knelt near the food dish and I extended my hand close to her thinking she might let me give her a pet on the head. She whacked my hand away fast!

A friend is going to loan me two live traps. I expect my plan to go smoothly...~eyeroll

Anyway, watching them eat made realize they needed fresh water too so I put some out. When I stepped out later to pick up the dishes, this is what I saw. Awwwwwww...



The neighbor boy had brought me roses from his yard way back in July. The vase had a fern branch in it and within a few days all the spores opened up and covered my paperwork with orange dust so I picked up the vase and set everything out on the back steps where they've been since. The kittens must have been playing with the dead flowers and drug one over to the water bowl.

It was just a little surprising to see it there in the water. Made me smile.
