Same stray, two completely different cats

So there's this feral cat that claimed my backyard, and I swear it's like having two different animals. Summer version: Skinny, sleek, moves like liquid shadow. Barely lets me get within 10 feet. Takes the food I leave and vanishes like some cryptid. Pure survival mode. Winter version: CHONKY. Fluffy winter coat makes him look like a furry bowling ball. Suddenly I'm his best friend? Sits on my porch like he pays rent. Still won't let me touch him, but will stare directly into my soul while I refill his food bowl. The audacity of this cat to completely rebrand himself every six months. Summer: mysterious loner. Winter: unemployed roommate who judges my life choices. I've accepted that I'm now a cat servant to someone who technically doesn't even live here. The seasonal personality switch is honestly iconic. #Pets #Cats #feralcat

New Zealand has officially added feral cats to its "Predator Free 2050" mission to save native wildlife. This decision follows severe damage to the ecosystem, including the killing of over 100 endangered bats in just one week. To protect species like the southern dotterel, the government will use toxin-laced baits and traps. While some raise ethical concerns, over 90% of the public supports the plan. Officials emphasize that this strictly targets wild, feral cats—not pets—and continue to encourage responsible ownership like microchipping and keeping domestic cats indoors. #news #cats #newzealand #petadoption #FeralCat #StrayCats #NewsBreaks #NewZealand
