We’ve had an additional cat join the meadow colony. He is a large fluffy black tom, who has seen some scraps. I hope his notched ear was from getting fixed and not the same fight that caught his lip giving him a permanent fang exposure. He is getting along with the other cats, and gets close to me, but doesn’t trust me enough to brush him yet. On the brushing front, I currently brush two long hair outdoor cats. I’ve been able to get close enough to brush Momma cat (a long hair calico) a couple times, but she has a long memory and doesn’t trust me.
