I went down to the guardhouse to give Kelly a dinner treat yesterday evening.
The daytime guard had already left and the night guard was on duty. Kelly was sitting inside the guardpost with him. He’s a kind person and told me he had just fed Kelly too.
Kelly came over to the table but was a bit hesitant to eat. Then I saw Socks, lurking at the small bush which is Kelly’s favourite siesta spot.
I told Socks to go home as his presence was making Kelly uncomfortable. He jumped into the drain, but maybe was hoping for scraps. Socks is so well-fed and most likely has a home on this outer road. He kept coming back and each time he did, Kelly stopped eating. I had to keep shooing him away so that Kelly could eat her treat.
Socks remained nearby, but Kelly managed to finish eating, with me keeping him at a distance.
