Scruffy has become increasingly hissy these past several weeks.
Tonight Scruffy acted differently and kept returning to my door hoping for food. Feeling generous, I fed him 3 separate dinners this same night. But with each dinner, Scruffy became more and more hissy.
I've grown tired of his increased hissing lately. So I finally decided to hiss back to see if I can correct his behavior. I know many people say this is not a good tactic, but I don't know what's left to try.
This is a short compilation from Episodes 140 & 141, where I feed him the 3 dinners.

I'm trying to befriend Scruffy, a feral cat, that has moved into my yard. From a distance, he is very brave and likes to ignore and scoff at me. But when close, he is very skittish. We are now into 15 weeks since I started leaving food for him.
