Fascination with feral cat

Off my feet a lot recently and at home... seeing more and more of the ginger feral cat we have fed for a while on and off. He seems to have adopted us which is fine.

He will never let us get within about ten yards of him... Sits ready to fly then races off. Exclusion zone and that is fine. He has food left for him in the downstairs bathroom each night now. Eats well and has been wormed. We drew the line after he had climbed in through the bedroom window in the night a couple of times.

Yesterday, wee dog treed him so I got close to him. Fascinating face, and so different from an ordinary cat. A breed apart almost.
In behaviour and looks.

Wild and free, and they do a great work with vermin here. Wonderful bushy tail, and streetwise.
