I went out to feed the ferals, and one of their bowls was missing

[Siwsan]

I have a blue bowl that I use to feed Mittens the Kitten and Scooter their wet/dry mix (Skittish has her own bowl). I swap it out in the afternoon with a bowl of dry food. I just went out to feed them and it was GONE.

I put out the food and then took a wander around the property to see if I could find it. The bowl was WAY back in the back lot.

Maybe it was the Pitt Bull I saw wandering around the yard, yesterday, stealing their food. I didn't go out and chase it away because, well, I like pitties I know, but avoid those I don't.

I'm going to keep an eye on the feeding area, this afternoon, to see if it comes back. It's a female who looks like she's nursing pups.

1. Do you have raccoons?

They are sneaky little thieves.

2. There is a BIG one that sometimes comes by at night.

Never seen it during the day, but that's also a possibility.

Maybe I'll re-aim the Blink camera to cover that area and turn it back on. I had to temporarily disable it because the ferals kept setting off the motion detector ALL NIGHT LONG.

3. I suspect that's your culprit.

Be sure to post pics of it!

4. I'll have to see if there are any raccoon prints in the snow

All I noticed, when I looked, were from the ferals and that dog. But I wasn't looking for anything else.

5. And I thought you were going to say

You found it inside, next to Gryff & Madoc's dishes, with Mittens sitting there looking pretty.
