Winter has finally come and the feral cats that live in the woods have come to our shed shelter to sleep in the beds made of straw. These feral cats usually come into the shelter sometime before 9 PM and exit in the early morning. If I did not see the indentation in the straw then I would not know they were there.
I decided to watch for the cats going into the shed and got lucky, took photographs of them from outside the window. These photographs were not as clear as they should be so I bathed with hunters soap to remove the scent of a human and hunkered down with my camera in a dark corner of the shed. I was hiding behind boxes. Yes I was determined to get photographs of the feral cats. These woods cats are nocturnal and terrified of humans.
I waited for the feral cats to come into the shed for several hours and when my leg was falling to sleep and I was ready to give up a cat did come through the kitty door. I was happy that the images of the feral cats turned out, as well as they did, because most people do not see this side of a feral cat. They never see them safe, warm and sleeping in a bed made of straw.
This post card was designed from one of my photographs of feral cats sleeping in bed made from straw.
