We have a new neighbor

So to speak.

There's a kitty who regularly visits us on the back deck, eating bugs around the hot tub, chasing birds in the trees, crying at the back door and in general, willing the smallest human in the house to open the door and, "LET ME IN."


Simon LOVES him, or her, I'm not sure which it is. I'm not even sure if it's a stray. This cat seems too well groomed to be a stray, but he/she could have been abandoned, or is lost. The cat started showing up about a month ago, generally out back, hunting for bugs and birds (or tuna, if the female human in the house caves in). Once, I found him crying at the front porch windows, from the settee.

He certainly knows how to work it. Here he is being aloof, pretending to hunt for birds, where Simon can see him...

Have you gone OUT and met him/her? Is it skittish or friendly? How about claws? He'll be chasing Oscar when he gets here!!!

Oh, it's a VERY friendly cat, not really skittish at all. And yes, it has all of it's claws. Simon is actually a little afraid of how friendly the cat is. It likes to rub up against us and get in my lap, while Simon is sitting in it :-)
