cat prints on the pond

There's a stray cat we call Ginger who seems to have adopted us. He can usually be found around our house. Of course it doesn't hurt that we put cat food out for him. He gets his water from our little pond. On the colder days like today, he'll try to step out onto the ice to get closer to the spot that's cleared of ice. I'm surprised that the ice holds his weight. Here's what I found this afternoon.
