Some idiot dumped a half-grown tortie cat at our house.

We live along the highway, but in the country. A couple of nights ago, I heard a car slow and stop. A bit later, I heard meowing. I thought it could be one of our barn cats, so I ignored it.

In the morning, we found the kittie. She is well-nourished and looks healthy. She is eating and drinking.

She will have to live outside with our other cats. Queen Claudia, pictured below, tolerates us and the dog. She would not accept another cat in the house.

The other cats are not chasing the tortie away. I hope they warm up to her.

I call our outside cats barn cats, but they are more like back door cats. They have a couple of boxes there where they nest. They eat well, and are comfy. They get lots of human attention, too. I wonder if someone who knows us knows that we spoil our outside cats almost as much as our inside cat. I hope this was not neighbor or "friend." People are so stupid.
