Pretty Kitty

Art and I have seen this kitty around the last week or so:

Art's been giving extra feed to the chickens, knowing that the cat goes in and eats from their feeder. S/he doesn't seem to bother the chickens, though, and it would be nice to have a cat around again to curtail the rats and mice. I'm debating with myself whether to buy some cat food, but s/he is skittish and will run as soon as s/he sees me. I don't want to just leave a dish of cat food out for her/him because the chickens/mice/rats/raccoons/rabbitts will eat it before s/he gets to it.

We're hoping s/he'll hang around for awhile and get her fill of rodents!
