Adopting a stray cat

At first there were two strays. I named them "Skinny" and "Scrawny". Skinny was caught by the neighbor and given to his brother. That left little Scrawny out on her own and obviously lonesome. She resists being captured. She has done her best to befriend Booggaard, however, he can be a bit of a jerk.

For several days she has hung around, gratefully eating the scrawny nibbles I've left out for her. She has been plagued by these awful mosquitoes. They sit on her little ears and just feast away. I sprayed the herbal bug repellant on a towel in the cat carrier, which has been her home. Today she let me pat her head with one finger. I didn't waste the opportunity. I wiped the herbal bug repellent on her ears. Today she has a nice, full tummy, new friends, and a few hours of relief from the bugs! Peace out, little Scrawny! Let me know if you'd like a better name.
