I think I have mentioned before that I feed a cat that hangs out in our courtyard. Well, he disappeared for 5 days and I was really getting nervous. We have a number of them who show up, but he hangs there all the time. I even named him Scout because he is the first one who shows up much like a scout would do. The gray one is Gray and the tuxie I call Tuxie. (So original)
(Scout)
So this week all 3 of them disappeared. I got scared that someone may have put out poison. Gray and Tuxie are not regulars, but Scout practically lives there. Then, two days ago he shows up, but now I am wondering if HE is actually a SHE. Scout was noticeably thinner around the middle, and after eating, quickly disappeared. No more hanging out. It makes me think that there are kittens somewhere out there. I could be wrong, but it does add up. Thinking now that I should think of a female name.
Went to WW yesterday, but did not get on the scale. I know I said I wasn't going to run away from it anymore, but, hey, I did have a trip to Olive Garden this week. And sorry to say I was glutton. Ate so much I could hardly walk. That has got to stop...and stop now. I am spiraling out of control. Not good.
Have a wonderful weekend.
I'm glad Scout reappeared. Have fun this weekend with your daughter and grandkids!
ReplyDeleteI was so relieved when I saw him/her out the window. Ran and got some food right away. Ate it and immediately went away again.
DeleteI am relieved to hear that Scout appeared again - perhaps you are right about him being a female since it is also spring and well, you know ...lol!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time in PA visiting with your family! And have a great weekend!!
He used to lounge around in the yard all day. Now he eats and goes. Seems to me he might be a she.
DeleteI always boil or grill corn, never use for salad...I'll try corn salad...
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day
I love corn in a salad, or in Mexican dishes. So good.
DeleteThat salad sounds GOOD.
ReplyDeleteI suspect you are right about Scout. And if so, she will be very hungry for the next little while. Thank you for feeding her.
It was a relief to see her alive. I was so anxious.
DeleteThat salad looks delicious. I'm writing it down to try. Glad kitty returned. :-)

It was delicious. I wanted to make it to bring to our picnic, but my daughter does not like cilantro or beans.
DeleteThat salad looks so delicious …
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely trip on Sunday to see your daughter and grandchildren.
All the best Jan
Thank you. Just hoping now there is not too much rain.
DeleteI made a very similar salad this week. It was yummy and healthy.
ReplyDeleteGlad the kitty came back. We have some outside ferals and every now and then one of them disappears for a few days. They always return when they get hungry.
This one was practically living in our yard so it was quite a scare to see him/her gone.
DeleteShould stick with your healthy salad!!! Maybe someone would try it and figure out how tasty it really is!
ReplyDeleteYou can have a female scout! Might have preciously been a male name...but a girl can be a slug right???
You are right. Girls can be named anything you want nowadays so the name stays 'Scout'.
DeleteOh that Mexican bean salad looks SO good!! Can you send me the portion your daughter doesn't want? Lol
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Scout returned. I can imagine how worried you were when he\she failed to return. It is so easy to become attached to strays, isn't it.
*smiles* I keep telling myself it has got to stop too...and you would have been proud of me these last few days. Only, now, I have bought a Black Forest gateau...so I'm sure you can guess the outcome!! Believe me, you are not alone!!😉
Have a fabulous weekend 😊😊

When my Minga passed at age 23 I said no more cats. I'm up in years and not only do I have to live on a limited budget now, but with my chronic back pain changing littler boxes is out of the question, and I don't want to have to worry about what happens to the kitty if something happens to me.
