Backlot Hiatus

== Overview ==
The Backlot Hiatus refers to a temporarily hiatus in feeding at The Backlot Subcolony to which Apoinsettia reluctantly agreed. The subcolony became more active with unknown feeders. When a self-proclaimed caretaker left signs for feeders to make themselves known, Apoinsettia would be the only one to reach out. The increase in untraced feeders left a notable increase in traces of dry food. A growing concern from the caretaker was that the plaza owners may grow increasingly frustrated with the high presence of food remnants and/or increasing number of cats, leading to some to dismiss feeding or even go as far to relocate the cats.
Although Apoinsettia never leaves dry food or trash (as noted by his trashcan in his trunk and not wanting to use dry food at the time due to it growing bacteria in the heat) and at most visiting once a week (often less due to the rain), he was alleged as a cause behind the increased presence of cats at the location. Apo argued that the cats predated his arrival as he could not stream an empty colony. Additionally, VODs dating more than a year ago provide proof that the subcolony was this way prior to his involvement. However he decided to comply as the caretakers had observed the cats for more than two decades.
Apoinsettia has openly said the Hiatus placed on him and two others, who only feed wet food at the opposite side, would do little to stop the large scale feeding and is concerned about the welfare of the subcolony. Apoinsettia offered that he had never seen a more friendly group of cats and is attached, suggesting that some of the cats could be socialized and brought indoors, or even in barns as barn cats are supported by local ordinance, but the caretaker declined. 
Apo remained compliant with the caretakers' request despite the concern, yet has since resumed feeding at the subcolony again.
