Now and then, I get good neighbors

... Tonight, we had severe thunderstorms rolling through the area. Some of them with nickel- and quarter-sized hail. I got home just ahead of the storms, and went out, looking for ferals (sounds sorta like a gameshow - grin). Squeaky Girl came up and had a few bites, then ran off under the building. She was no fool - she knew the weather was going to get nasty. Buster showed up later, after the rain started, but curled into a tight ball in the corner outside our door. As soon as I opened the door, he meowed to be let in. Of course, I let him in. I went to the back door, and there was a cat I call Grumpy (so called because he loves to be petted, but has a yowly, grumpy, don't touch me kind of meow when you do pet him), eating from the bowl I leave out for Spot and Lady. He started to run, when I came out, but I encouraged him to stay and eat, where it was dry, and had food. I sat with him while he ate. This is the cat that our upstairs neighbors gave a lion cut to, to help him deal with the summer heat. This is the cat that they took to the vet to make sure he was healthy. These neighbors have three dogs. Well, here I am, sweet-talking Grumpy, and petting him, when up overhead, I hear a shrill "Heeeere, kitttty! Heeeerree kitty, kitty!" Well, Grumpy runs off, and gets underneath the nearest car. The neighbor looks around and doesn't see Grumpy. But he's still calling the cat. After a few few moments, the hail starts. Grumpy runs out from under the car, and underneath the sharp and pointy holly bushes against the building. The neighbor, wearing a pair of shorts and no shirt, comes down the steps and into the rain and hail, reaches into the bushes (did I mention that they are sharp and pointy bushes), and grabs Grumpy. As he goes back upstairs with a noisy, unhappy Grumpy, he is pelted by small hailstones, and adds his own cusswords to Grumpy's. Basically, he was more worried about the cat than he was about his own hide. I think I like these neighbors. Hugs and Purrs, Mark Definitely our kind of neighbors! Wonderful! Joy |

You are taking such good care of these kitties, and so is your neighbour.
They are lucky to have you both. Best wishes, -- Polonca & Soncek "Mark Edwards" wrote in message ... Tonight, we had severe thunderstorms rolling through the area. Some of them with nickel- and quarter-sized hail. snip |
