Last night, just like every other night I went outside to say goodnight to the cat and take her food in – don’t want animals in the yard and the gardens. I looked out the window saw the cat under the table eating her food and went out the back door to say a few words to her, as I walked around the corner.. I realized it was not the cat, but a SKUNK! I turned and ran back in the house. I turned the kitchen light off and took the flash light out – looked out the window and it was still the skunk. He or she wandered around the yard and would come back and nibble at the food for a good 10 minutes. I ran up stairs to get Stella, but she was already asleep (less than 5 minutes from turning the lights off). Back downstairs I went – to watch and wait for the skunk to leave the yard. The skunk finally wandered down the walkway and under the gate it went. I waited a few minutes before venturing out.
I went back out the back door and here came the cat from the opposite direction. I gave her a little more food and kept an eye out on the gate entrance. I heard people walking up the hill and exclaim – SKUNK! They quickly crossed to the other side. I took the food up, said my goodnight and hoped that I would not have a stinky cat in the morning. Was very careful when I went out to walk the dog a few minutes later.
