Last 1 for the Evening - Bob and Roberta

When I moved in (even before my cats came home from quarantine) these 2 cats would come by my back door and insist on being fed. I never did of course, they're feral cats after all. 1 of them Bob - had these really gross looking eyes and some sort of wound on his left rear hip. Since he never would go away and his eyes just seemed to be getting worse - I caught him. Not sure if you can tell how bad his eyes were looking.

Before and After. By the way he is officially on "it" now.

His eyes look so much better now. Not completely cleared up but they are coming along. He had an upper respiratory infection.
In the meantime, another cat would come along with him. Never really bothered to figure out the sex (because "she" was more aloof at the beginning) until she - Roberta - brought 3 kittens upstairs to hang out as well. When I was cleaning the carrier out - Roberta freaked out (because that too was the day I took Bob) and has taken the kittens away. She comes back but I have not seen the kittens since.

Anyway, back to my story about Bob and Roberta. I was talking with the landlord's housekeeper. Apparently there was a tenant who lived in this "flat"for about 2 years. Him / the family (it is not clear to me who found the kittens) found 2 kittens on the beach and brought them home. His business adventure failed so he went home leaving the now 2 adult cats. So they think that my house is still their house.

Besides being skinny Roberta looks pretty good though I could not figure out how 1 of her kittens was an orange tabby. Here's Roberta. As you can see she is more like a tortoise shell cat and Bob definitely is a gray something or other.

I have to say it was a wrong move to name them, but anyway, I check on them to see if they are around and this evening I spooked a large orange tabby - tom cat with a manx type tail. Never seen him around but that doesn't mean he hasn't been up before. So Roberta was cheating on Bob and because of that fact, she has the orange tabby kitten.
Probably this Tuesday will be the day that Roberta will visit the vet. Oh yes, Clip/Clip. She has started to trust me so I'm hoping that all I have to do is put some good smelling food into the carrier and shut the door. If that doesn't work I still have the trap in the back of my car and I will just trap her - hopefully.
Bob and Roberta belong together anyway. Check this photo out of the 2 of them. That orange tabby needs to get lost.

For whatever reason she insists on eating out of the same bowl at the same time as he is trying to eat out of.

My saga of Bob and Roberta. And I am sure - like everything else on this island - the saga will continue. So until next time. Especially considering if is past my bedtime. For whatever reason it takes FOREVER to upload digital photos. Picture Photos don't take but a second. Go figure.

Anyway, I hope everyone has enjoyed. The next posting will be of plants&bugs of the island. Some island buildings and a bit of a story re: the garment industry. Have to show you my car with the cool sun shade.

Have a wonderful Sunday as I enjoy looking at the back of my eyelids.
