It seems like it's been weeks since our friend Notch has come by for a meal. Sometimes she disappears for months at a time before we see her again, and of course we are always concerned that something may have happened to her.

Mom and dad give her as much food as she can eat, not knowing when she may find her next meal.

She seems like a very sweet girl, but is also very skittish. For example, she won't approach the food bowl until the screen and patio door are closed. This is one of those rare photos where dad was able to take her picture with the screen door partially open.
