    Missing Feral Kitty Winston

    LAST UPDATED: January 30, 2020 PUBLISHED: January 31, 2020 By Pam Greer 16 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

    Light gray tabby cat.

    I was going to use some new photos for today's post, but I brought down the wrong memory card.  I have my Canon camera all set up to take food photos, so I set up my Fuji to use for all other photography. 

    I grabbed the memory card out of my Canon and instead of kitty cats, uploaded a Blueberry Margarita and some Sriracha Honey Pork Chops (all coming soon!)

    So, I went looking through my cat folder of photos that still needed to be edited (I'm down to only about 700!)   I found these photos of Winston from 2016.

    If you're new to the blog, Winston Purrchill was a feral kitty cat that allowed us to befriend him.  It took years of work, but I finally got him to sleep on our screened in porch and stay in a warm kitty house (keeping Feral cats warm in the winter) in the winter. 

    He was deaf, which made taming him even harder.  I am well versed in sweet talking kitty cats, it's one of my secret weapons, but I wasn't able to use it on him. 

    He would just stare at me when I talked, like he wished that he could hear what I was saying.

    I never got to pet him, the most I could do was hold out a finger and he would ever so softly sniff it.   I'm so glad for the few years that we got to make his life a little easier.

      I don't very often visit your blog, because I'm not interested in recipes... but your cat photos are wonderful and Winston was a handsome boy. Sure, he had a good time with you, I would miss him too... Had feral cat here, it often takes a very long time, but now he's my houseman...
