Do you ever get the feeling that someone is getting tired of your 💩💩💩???

I drove to school & picked up the boy & took him to the library so he could study...came home and the feral gray cat is laying down under the Bradford pear tree in the front yard. We got out of the car & I locked it & the cat turned his head and looked at me and quickly looked back. Didn’t beg for food or anything. I get the feeling he’s tired of my 💩....which is not a bad thing. Have been feeding him a couple times daily once again for the past month (after he clawed me several times in the spring). Three days ago before daylight I heard cats fighting on the doorstep, that cat was there waiting for food at 6:30, opened the door and smelled 💩 on the concrete porch. Had to get my little flashlight to walk out to get the newspaper. Cleaned it up etc., the cat didn’t want to eat till evening probably because of the fight. So each morning before daylight I go out with my little tactical flashlight watching my step, and when I see the cat I point the flashlight at him.
