We filled it and took it to the granary. The next morning the feeder was in pieces- very expensive pieces I might add. Ray boarded up the area five feet high and made a neat little cat hole. All gone again! The next night I coated the floor with flour to footprint the varmint. Coons! Ray added another board and light thinking coons would stay away from light. Not so. Frustrated, we had to give up for it was time to leave for Florida. We directed our caretaker to feed both cats. When we arrived home for Christmas holidays, we were greeted by Miss Kitty and Bobby. And two dogs! The big friendly fellows stayed with us both weeks that we were home. We noticed there were no problems with feeding the cats in the granary. That gave us an idea for a new feeding plan. We would arrange to feed the dogs who would keep the coons away. Ray purchased a supply of Old Roy at Wal-Mart. Our caretaker would still have to feed our “cats and dogs” but not very often. We left, confident that we had solved the feeding problem. It did not work. The dogs left when we did. This spring we arrived back to faithful Miss Kitty’s meows. Bobby arrived on the scene in a couple of days. I suspect Bobby boarded with neighbors. I thank them if he did. We are settled in for a summer together. Ray and I will attack the coon problem. I will admit we do not know how, but I don’t think it will be pretty. Miss Kitty claims our laps with usual routine and has returned to her favorite spot in the garage. She is frustrated by the presence of a mother fox who lives with two kits in the barn. She loves cat food and will venture to the house for it. I do not always see the fox but know when she has been feeding because Miss Kitty is up a tree. The fox has raised a family in the barn for the second year. I enjoy seeing the kits playing in front of the barn. And Bobby- he is headed for another trip to the vet.
