    New Cat

    This little cat has been living in and on the roof of the "Junk Shed" since August. I feed it twice a day and make sure she has plenty of water. The only way I can get close to her is if I have food or a cat treat. I`d like to bring her in the house this winter if I can ever catch her.:shrug:
