Thanks folks. We have five cats inside, all live trapped in the backyard, and now these two outside. We are very sure two were true ferals, born in the wild and with little exposure to people. But the rest, even Chinny who resisted our overtures for four years, seem to have been pets at one time. Maybe just barn cats but all used to and liking being petted and played with. We have tried to find previous owners; nada. What kind of people bestow friendship, even love, on an animal and then let it go? Not try to find it? Even deliberately abandon it?

Yes, Joey, as we call the outside black boy, is very fond of the dog. Another sign he was a pet. Yesterday I wished for the hundredth time I had video recording capabilities out of my eyes as Joey walked over to the lying down dog, lay down beside him, reached his head up and back and purred and nuzzled the dog as the dog licked Joey's ears.
