the neighbours have moved out, either they didn't take their cat or it's found its way back "home" and is in our garden

the backyard is full of tufts of white fur from yesterday evening's cat fight with the new black and white interloper

we may have a new feral cat around or under the house, a scrawny white one with black blotches just shot across the front garden

woken up by one of the neighbours' cats breaking in the cat door and scrabbling crazily around the kitchen before crashing back out again

two blissful nights of no feral ginger cat, then it was back at 5am and again just now, prowling around and yowling, trying to get back under the house

Under the house may finally be cat-proof again… or at least cat-resistant

After spending a couple of hours on Saturday & Sunday I’ve reattached all the weatherboards and base-boards that the restumpers removed to get access — I may not have done it well, but there don’t seem to be any holes left for the feral ginger cat to get in through. It appeared twice yesterday evening on the back porch and back garden, but bolted off when we approached. First night in four or five days it hasn’t woken me between 2-5am yowling under or around the house.

the back lawn is adrift with tufts of cat fur from the night-time fight between neighbour's cat and a possum, perhaps they should keep it inside

Cam came home to be confronted by a large dead rat on the kitchen floor, and a cat very proudly showing it off

happy to see a decent sized skink between the shed and fence while mowing, clearly the cats haven't slaughtered all of them

two of the capsicum seedlings are broken and dead, we suspect the cat has walked on them, but have no proof

blocked off one corner of the neighbour's fence where their cat climbs over – with an old wire shelf – what will the cat do now?

the daphne smells strong, the oranges are falling – one or two a day – and the cats are digging up vast swathes of the garden

Let the cat out of the laundry to be met by an ungodly stench and enormous cat crap on the floor beside the litter tray

while we were away something, probably a cat, has pushed the timber aside to get in under the house

the cat has lost her collar and registration tag out in the garden somewhere

Most likely she got it caught on a branch or bush while outside and got caught, then pulled it off in getting free. Bizarrely, this reminded me of a rather grotesque video I saw a few weeks ago of a deer stag trotting around with the head of a deceased rival caught in its antlers, extra bizarre because on looking at this morning’s newspaper that story was in “the oddspot” in the Age.

down to three beetroot seedlings, all with leaves eaten off, all dug up and dumped by cat digging up the soil

Got Cam to place a row of bricks the length of the citrus garden against the fence – our cat & the neighbour's two have dug under between them

A screeching yowling cat fight outside kept us awake for an hour or more

Scream from the kitchen, the cat has brought a maimed half-dead myna in and dropped it in the middle of the rug

Cat now routinely bashes her locked cat-door open, needs rework to keep her in at night

mysterious cat business, Misty didn't come in at dusk, stayed out until after [2019-08-26 Mon 20:30]

removed a half-eaten blackbird[1] wing from the path by the garage – someone's cat got lucky

the cat dug up one of the bean seedlings to shit in the vege garden again

a cat dug up the bean garden bed to shit, I've replanted the bean seedlings

One completely dug out and buried, another dislodged.
