I have a feed box I built to feed my cats, it sets in the garage so they can eat whenever. It also feeds any neighbors cat that what partake. Then there are the opossum, skunk, raccoon, and anything else thats to eat. My wife has seen the wild animals and our cats pass each other coming and going. But youngest cat, just under a year got curious and tangled with abig opossum, almost lost his eye. So I dispatched the opossum to opossum heaven with a .22 cal LR shot to the head.
