Grumpy Strays

As the days grow colder, tolerance for sharing food amongst the stray cats is growing thinner.

While the guys will generally huddle around the large pans or bowls filled with crunchies and canned food and share peacefully, some days they just constantly annoy each other with swats to the head and hisses, basically making it so nobody really gets a square meal with the exception of the alpha cat who is above it all.

I am somewhat happy to say that Oz Junior is that alpha cat, and enjoyed the bulk of the food amongst his grumpy companions at our last feeding.

Fortunately, we typically give the guys enough food that, at the end of all the scuffling, they are well fed. The territorial battle becomes little more than unintended comedy...at least for us to watch.
