Strangers on the porch
Eli's been at the front window howling and hissing. Two neighbor kitties
have decided that our front porch is a cool place to hang out. One of them is a short-haired mackerel tabby, the other is a short-haired tuxie. Both are quite young, maybe 5-6 months, and live at two different houses. The tuxie has a pink nose and white whiskers. I find it odd that only Eli seems to care that there are strange cats out there. Everyone else has also been watching with curiousity but no hostility. I really wish the neighbors would keep their kitties indoors, as the traffic on the streets around here moves very fast. I would hate to find either of these little ones dead in the street. |

Purrs that the neighbors get some sense. I'm not going to start that indoor-outdoor debate but some places aren't good for them to roam. I live on a busy street corner and I've practically been run off the road by people in a car just slowing down to turn into my driveway. So imagine the poor cats! But she just lets them run loose and claims they escape when she opens the door. Uh, no, I don't think so, considering I've seen her let them out. I'm pretty sure Spotty was a kitten that belonged to one of her unspayed females. Thankfully I was able to get Spotty neutered and rehomed. For all I know Persia showed up from this cat farm she seems to have going across the street. Purrs for the strays and for Eli. Persia hates cats on my patio, too. How's your cold? Sinus infection, whatever it may be? Purrs for your sniffling, snuffling, sneezing, etc. Jill |

"jmcquown" wrote How's your cold? Sinus infection, whatever it may be? Purrs for your sniffling, snuffling, sneezing, etc. I'm almost OK. This has been the strangest non-cold/flu. There has been virtually no sniffling, sneezing, sinus involvement; absolutely no digestive involvement; next to no fever. |

They sound quite adorable. I'd be worried about them too, but I can't help thinking it's wonderful that they found each other. |
