Feral yard cat (no name).
Yes I been feeding it and yes I bought it a cat hotel and lined it with straw.

Been feeding it for about a year - he was not on his second set of teeth - when he first rocked up in the yard - so guess he is about a 18 months old now.
I have wormed him about every three months. As he looked so thin - he now seems to have put some weight on and kept it on. He also spends less time with his head up his bottom (always a sign an animal has worms).

Sadly today I ran over a cat,down the back lanes ,so slowly travelling,too dangerous to stop immediately,pulled on to a straight piece,as I’m walking towards the poor animal it’s leaping completely clear of the ground,saw it take its last breath,carried it to the chapel path opposite,then wandered to trace the owner,eventually finding directions I took it to the likely home and presented it ,they’d half expected it some time,upsetting.

Hmm. BiL has got a "feral" cat at his yard too. It keeps its distance except when he feeds it. It talks to me though, for some reason. It has been around for a couple of years. He has got an old armchair in a shed that it sometimes sleeps on, along with a derelict land Rover.
A while ago SWMBO was talking to a near neighbour and mentioned it. Turns out it goes to a couple of other places to be fed , and has places to sleep there too. She doesn't have the heart to tell him

Does anyone watch the adventures of 'Milo the chonk' on tiktok?
Some funny videos about a cat that rules it's household and describes its owners as 'employees '

Would please me if this "ginger feral cat" could find a forever home.
It a boy and I got two aging girl cats at home 12/14 ish (both out of my workshop yard). So he may not fit into the dynamic at my household.
Both these girl stray cats had airgun pellets in them - cost me vets bills.
It was like a feline war zone about near my yard - cats with pellets in them. But whoever was doin it - has stopped.
Honestly for a few months - my workshop was like a field hospital for cats with airgun pellets in them....
----------
It took printing a load of A4 black and white flyers with pictures of cats with festering wounds and a summers evening and me and few of the bigger younger lads off the trading estate to go door knocking - handing the flyers out - down all the back streets and terraced houses near our yard.
Well done to you.

Takes special sort of person - to put food out for feral (or your neighbours) cats after darkness - and then I can only imagine - from the comfort of an open window stick a 1.77 Prometheus type pellet into lots of them.

Don't know who it was? - I would like to think it was not kids.
Just some sick individual with high spec gas airgun... (and a hatred of cats)

I am a fairy robust person - but the whole episode of going to work - all one summer - finding dead cats in the yard. Corpses hidden in hedges - under cars - in engine bays. And the distressed live ones. Upset me. Police would not do anything. Vet did push the RSPCA - but they just really turned up and could do nothing.
So I layed on half a ream of poorly printed flyers - few cases of Stella one evening - a load of fit looking young 30 something lads and went politely knocking on doors - handing out flyers. It did the trick...
