<p>Recently Reyna showed some interest in what's beyond the front door. Two years ago I had bought a harness and lead to take her out on the porch, but she hasn't been out in a year. I couldn't find the harness and so I clipped the lead to her collar and out we went. She at first kept trying to go back in but then decided to explore the porch area. After her collar came off twice, I figured it was time to go in.</p>

<p>Does your feline do any version of begging when you are preparing food? Callie doesn't but Reyna has found that if she its near me and gazes hopefully at me I may come across with a tasty tidbit. Recently it was rotisseried chicken skin, but I know that sometimes too much of that leads to upset stomach. So I offered it to Reyna and after she ate 3 pieces I stopped. she was happy. </p>

<p>It has been reported on the news in the last few months that in different neighborhoods of NYC there has been a significant decline in the number of stray cats. No bodies have been found so it's not a case of poisoning, but possibly catnapping? People have been urged not to let their pet felines out at night or during the day.

In my neighborhood, we have noticed a decline in the stray population and have no idea why. I doubt that rescue groups are rounding them up for adoption purposes. It is possible that the spay/neuter programs run by some rescue groups has resulted in less number of kittens being born and hence a decline in the population. </p> kitty kongtag:teebeedee.ning.com,2013-11-29:1991841:Topic:16374522013-11-29T22:07:03.769Zellevanhttps://teebeedee.ning.com/profile/EllenVanDuserHopkins
<p>Today while looking for xmas gifts for a friends canine kids, I found a feline version of the kong toys for dogs. Naturally it's smaller and much more flexible, but the principle is the same. So I loaded it with some fresh catnip and placed on the livingroom floor and now I'm waiting to see the reactions.</p>

<p>Found a family-owned petsitting service to replace my friend who used to petsit for me and has moved permanently to AZ. We had an interview last saturday and both Reyna & Callie checked them out. Now I just need to find some place to go and see how things work out. </p>

<p>Didn't think that Reyna was the adventurous type! Nonetheless, when the side screen door was blown open by the wind yesterday, she sashayed out and was walking down the alley when I happened to be walking up the alley. I called her name and she immediately turned around and hotfooted it back into the house. I guess she thought she'd come out and see what I was doing. </p>

<p>Either it was cooler than I thought or Reyna was going into winter mode early. While I was getting dressed, I noticed a lump in the bedspread. I'd made the bed earlier and there was no lump. Gazing at the shape I thought it had to be one of the cats and sure enough, when I lifted the corner of the spread, there she was looking back at me. I guess she was cold!</p>
