I was delighted that there was a pause in the fights between Orange Boi and Spatz for a bit, and that Spatz was even eating meals with the others peace. But yesterday when I went out to feed I noticed blood drops by the water dish and across the porch. The Furrals were all there waiting for me, but no Spatz. The porch was quite last night, so whatever trouble there was had to happen further down the hill or at the neighbors.
I called, because sometimes Spatz is still in The Hole when I go to feed. Nothing. No meowing. No Spatz. I went to check The Hole (which he has officially made his home as there is a rubbermade tote I converted to a cat shelter many years ago). He was curled up in the house but would not come out. I am guessing he was injured but there was no way that I am reaching into a cramped space and dragging out a wounded cat. He made little noises at me but refused to budge. I left food and water and had to go back to the house to get to work. For once Orange Boi wasn't all bloddy and mangled from fighting, so I am sure that the throw-down happened elsewhere. I know that there are a couple of BIG toms down the hill and I have heard a lady in heat calling in the night several times, so Spatz might be making trouble for himself trying to find a mate. When I checked later in the day, he had eating some. What was interesting though, is that Tiny Face has gone to check on him a few times as well. I saw her quite near The Hole, just watching him from a distance. Maybe she was planning his demise for being loquacious, but I will tell myself she was checking on the fuzzy dude who eats at the far end of the porch with her. I look forward to getting him fixed and hope that will end the roaming (and the front porch brawls as well). He does seem to be determined to spread his genes while he can. Last summer Tiny Face had a long haired black kitten, while Mommy Cat had a black kitten with white whiskers. This fall Gimpy had a short haired tux with whit whiskers. I think I know what his favorite hobby might me.
