Thanks to Dewi, I've had to re-work my morning feral feeding routine. [View all]

Dewi is much more adventurous than Dylan. Yesterday he was trying to figure out how to break into the veg garden. He was also sizing up a tree for climbing. Dylan sticks closer to the house.

Until now I've fed the adults and then gone back inside to mix up the kitten's food. Well, Dewi has discovered that I feed the big kidcats, first so he races around the corner of the house and starts tucking in to the big sized kibble mix. I don't want any of the bigger ferals swatting him away. Yes, I'm VERY protective of kittens. And I want him to eat kitten food.

This morning I picked him up to take him back to where I feed him and Dylan. Did he put up a fuss!! A regular temper tantrum. But I was one step ahead and already had his and Dylan's food ready to dish up. I'd feed them first but I have no doubt there are bigger ferals who would swoop in and gobble up the kitten food while I'm dishing out the adult stuff.

The other change is, now I'm going to put a bowl of adult food by the kitten food because their mom likes to eat with them. She is such a good mom. Sometimes she just comes over and hangs out and take naps.
