Not much of a question here, just sharing.
We care for a feral kitty who has lived in our complex longer than we have. We started feeding her in June 2009 when her previous caretaker moved away.
We haven't seen her in the last week (which isn't really unusual) but I noticed since this past Wednesday that she hadn't been eating her food during the day like she usually does. However, food would be gone by morning. I did a stakeout last night and planted a web camera. I found out who's eating the food, but it's not our feral kitty, Cali.
Today I'm going down to the city shelter to file a lost cat report and go through the cages. I really hate it, but FI is coming with this time me for moral support. (We had another homeless cat we cared for go missing last year. She wasn't feral, and I still hope that her original owner came back for her.)
Cali is really distrustful, and even though I've fed her every day for almost a year and a half, I can't get closer than 10 feet away from her (and that's a really good day). Here are a couple photos, taken from when I used to feed her at the park.
