Cats And Teaching

[robby]

I've started feeding some feral cats, and one of them now, is always sitting on the fence at sundown, waiting for his(?) supper. Aren't those yellow cats usually male? He's sort of adolescent, and skittish. For weeks, he's been finishing all his food and water every day, but lately has been leaving a bit of each, which means he's not starving anymore.

I'm grading quizzes this weekend. I teach about 150 seventh and eighth graders, life science, yearbook and an elective, which is archaeology, in this first trimester.

Editors note: I googled yellow cats and it seems that Orange tabby cats are about 80/20 male to female.

Orange cats are my absolute favorites!

Archeology! Will you be bringing your Mayan statues to class? :-)

Yes, I have used a ceramic piece as an artifact. We compared and contrasted the Paiute and Pueblo cultures. The latter had agriculture and made pottery.

This orange cat may be young enough to eventually to overcome his wild nature. I talk to him when I see him.

My three favorite cats of all time have been orange. :-)

That is very nice of you to feed the feral cats.

They keep gophers under control. Some gardening experts suggest this is the most effective method. I'm hoping that I can eventually tame the young orange male.
