D.O.P.-T.

A new tabby cat has appeared. With a voracious appetite. I just went out to supply more wet food and found him or her sitting by the food dishes, waiting. And Fluffy at the bottom of the porch steps. I suspect cat romantic politics of some kind. The new tabby allowed me to proffer a finger for sniffing but hissed when I attempted a small stroke. Now the calico kitten has appeared and is eating kibble while new tabby eats the wet food. I saw the ginger kitten yesterday—he ran when he saw me looking, sadly—so I suppose those two should get names, since they appear to eat here pretty regularly despite periodic dog noises.
