Nighttime wildlife camera - Where is Cat Jade? What has happened on the swing?

The night on the nighttime wildlife camera begins with Foxy Loxy.

Where is Cat Jade?

The next shot shows a new cat I have not seen before. It looks rather worried.

Then, along comes Ghost Cat, number one, who is a big ginger tom, and can be aggressive.

The cat interloper immediately snarls and goes into defensive mode.

Foxy, Loxy comes back, and the cat interloper tries to make himself hidden, he is on the right hand bottom corner on the screen on the swing, but cannot always be seen. The Interloper stays there all night, and will not relinquish that spot.

But then Foxy Loxy incurs the Interloper's wrath who lunges for Foxy Loxy's face when he gets far too close. Foxy Loxy was interested in the cat biscuits, which are always on the swing for cat Jade. Foxy Loxy has never tried to get at them before, but he seems to be hungry this cold snowy night.

Suddenly, a pair of foxes appear, a male and a female (?). And they are also interested in the cat biscuits, but dare not take them.

Jade suddenly appears, and she seems to understand that there is another cat on the swing, but there was no footage to suggest why she left the swing that night, unless because of the snow and the cold, she had decided to go and sleep in the garage that night. Jade creeps round to the back of the swing to get on the swing to get 'her' cat biscuits. The Interloper realises Jade is there and watches her.

Each time the cat Interloper opens his mouth to snarl or yawn, you can see the steam rising in the air.

When I went out in daylight (this is not on the video), there was a skinny hungry ginger cat who was not relinquishing his spot on the swing for anyone. I presume as an act of submission to me, he averted his eyes downwards from me.

So, the whole cat/wildlife dynamics on the swing appears to have changed...

What happens now?


Creative was begun in ZenBrush3 on my Pixel 4a, and then I finished it off in couple of other apps. I could see the hidden cats on my Pixel 4a, but JPEG's lossy effect may degrade the faces...

I'll see how it posts...

Time for a nap now, because there was so much footage from Monday/Tuesday night, that it took me 4 hours to look through and edit, because there was constant action all night...

What will last night's wildlife camera show?

Also time for a cuppa....
Have your best day.
