Gardening and Cats

[robby]

I put down some food for the orange cat, and later noticed he didn't eat all of it. I picked him up and we went off together, but when I swung by ten minutes later, his food was gone. It was probably the neighbor cat. Many mornings, all the dry cat food is also gone.

My tomatoes are ripening, and I'll pick more tomorrow. I won't have a big crop this year, but I'll have fresh tomatoes through October. The heat waves this year were timed such as to interfere with tomato pollination.

I'm trying to keep a reflective collar on the kitten, but today he lost the 5th I've given him. For safety, they're breakaway collars, and strangely, I never find the discarded ones. I'll even go out at night, looking with a flashlight, but no dice.
