On 18 Dec, a very large cat showed up at our house. It was late and cold, and he looked in the door and made it clear he wanted inside. Well, since we have two cats already and he was a stranger, we...

Magnus, the vultures won't bother Spotacus while he's alive and kicking. He likes to watch them soar and gather on the shed.
Got up before sunrise, with a nose full of cement. While I waited for my sinuses to clear, Leoghaire came up to the porch. Due to heat and no rain, there's not much for her to eat, so I took a bag of carrots out and tossed them to her.
At one point, she looked down the hill toward the feeder. A beautiful fox was standing there, watching us. It sat down and kept watching while I tossed carrots to Leoghaire. Finally, it strolled leisurely up the hill and just short of the porch. I tossed a carrot over to it, it calmly strolled over and sniffed it, looked at me like "What is this junk?" and strolled past me and Leoghaire to the other side of the house and through the fence. Either it's the most laid back fox ever or someone's been feeding it. I believe it's the one that's been hanging out on our porch at night.
While obviously quite healthy, it's not near as large as Spotacus. He's seen the fox more than once and is totally not afraid, so they must have come to some non-aggression pact.
Meanwhile, Leoghaire isn't obviously hungry, in fact seems a bit fat, so others in the area are probably also feeding the herd. They do come to us for water. We're on water restrictions, but we'll keep watering the herd.
WLToo made pancakes; time to eat. Later, y'all.
