Cats

Exact same "...and where is OUR bacon?" expression.

Chai, one of the cats I feed from across the street gives her own special Xmas greeting today.

Its not as vicious as it looks, she is one of those nibble to show affection cats.
 
The little old guy we rescued in Mexico, now settled into far northern Canada.
Nito was the perfect traveller despite airplane cancellations and general holiday travel mayhem. He slept on every flight, and faithfully used the cat box every night in the hotel with no mess or fuss. He has settled in with the other two guy cats in the house and is doing well. He is so sweet. We can’t save them all but we save what we can.

It started to get colder the last couple of days, so almost all of the neighborhood customers are showing up for the morning feeding. I make sure they all get a chance to have as much canned food as they want plus dry food thats there all day. Will have another round of feeding around 4PM.

Have you heard of Trap, Neuter, Release (TNR)? Hopefully, it's available in your community. It's good for population control.

Yep, its a little dodgey in my area so I sometimes just trap them and pay to have a regular vet do it, they also take some extra safety precautions that I don't think the TNR places always do because of time constraints. I worry because I think some of my customers aren't actually homeless animals, just careless owners let them run wild and I don't want to get in some argument with my neighbors for altering their animals, which leads me to this which happened less than an hour ago:

The large white and orange cat in this pic has been visiting off and on for over two years, I named him Chonky and suspected he may have a home, today as I get home from the store I see Chonky sunbathing near the Coronet. Before I can park a car double parks across the street, a young lady runs out and the cat gets up like it knows her and she tosses him in the car and they start to drive off, I was just getting up to them in my car and wave so she stops. Turns out Chonky is named something like Palmero (my hearing isn't the best and she had a slight accent). I asked if its hers and she says its her mom's cat and they wondered where he was, so I explained he is a regular visitor and I always call him Chonky. She seemed a little uncomfortable (understandable if some old dude is like "Is that your cat?!?!") but nice enough, lives around the block and I told her if he is missing check my place.
If we talk again and get friendly I'll bring up fixing him, I'm pretty sure he is the father of the smaller orange and white cat in the pic who I took in after the back and white one was killed.
 
Cats are cool. Too many people who have them are irresponsible, though. If we didn't have Huskies, I'd have a couple.

I'm down to one that looks like the one at 3 o'clock around the bowl in your picture. I've called her Calico but should name her Spooky because she's wild and not friendly with people. She never learned how to bury her waste. So, she must've been on her own since she's a kitten.
 
My GF has two whack-job black cats. They are nice, but goofy. This one is experiencing a deep moment of Freezer Door Contemplation.
