They secrete a poison to protect themselves. It won't hurt the cat, but it makes them gag if they try to pick one up in their mouths. Most cats just know not to try it. Robocat did pick one up in his mouth once, and never did it again!

No working farm for a little ways. There's a textile mill about 1/2 mile from here, and I've heard there are feral cats there, so maybe from there. Maybe their mother was dumped too, cats appear and then disappear here frequently, and I only see them once or twice on my security cameras.

I think you can still see the photos, though it would be tedious to go through them to find mine. Especially on the Gingercat group, which is very large and very active.

Very inexpensive camera. A Canon Elph 180, 20 Mp. Replacing an 8 year old 10 Mp one. Been using Elphs for 20 years now. For the full effect, see these pics on Facebook. The groups are the "Tux Mafia", and the "Ginger Cat Gang".

New camera! And if I may, he seems to have a German cat air about him in adulthood. He looks like a cat from Bavaria! Still a Viking though, after a little mingling.
