Sort of.
She's living outside, a few houses down from us. There's a series of very natural, wooded yards there, and plenty of mice and chipmunks. Which Spark is eating. In fact, she hasn't lost any weight, despite being in charge of her own food supply for two months now. She looks a bit bigger, if anything, since her coat has filled in considerably. So she's probably staying warm despite the chilly nights.
Unfortunately, Spark appears to be entirely happy with her current situation. She takes off running as soon as she notices us, and won't eat any of the food we leave out. She didn't come near the live trap, either. She is, in fact, acting completely feral.
We've decided to back off for now, and not risk chasing her off from the area. Hopefully, she'll be a little more open minded about food and traps once it gets colder, and harder to hunt. She might also decide she doesn't like snow, once it gets to that point. At the very least, we'll be able to track her movements a little more effectively with snow on the ground.
Household and yard projects are continuing, though the sheer number of them is overwhelming at times. And progress-prohibitive. I do make progress daily, but it's in bits and pieces, spread out over all the various jobs. So no single job is moving forward sufficiently to post update photos. Should have something soon about the sewing machine restoration, at least.
