I've been feeding an orphaned stray the last few days. One of the local criminals was found dead at home. I've seen his cat milling around the front of his house. I picked up some cat food and filled a water jerry. The house is on my dog walk so I stop by and refresh the water and put some fresh wet+dry food out. It's being eaten be something. The cat is afraid of me and runs off, the dog probably doesn't help either. Dog's just giving me dirty looks because it can smell the cat food and wants some.
