06/12/2024 Carport Kitten Replaced By New Hire

Bakka wandered into the subdivision behind our property and was taken in by a family. Much as I’ll miss having a carport cat to patrol the yard for snakes, I’m glad he is being taken care of.

But then my daughter told me that his bowl was still being emptied at night, so we waited to see what had decided to take his place.

Me, a Southerner: “It’s still cute!”

Welp, at least now the property is being patrolled for ticks and other insects that I’d rather not have to deal with. Possums are actually good critters to have around, especially here. They don’t carry rabies, contrary to old stories.

Looks pretty young, too. It kicks in my sheltering mind. So, we’ll let the guy be.

Stay safe out there, folks. Check your carports when you go outside at night.
