In my apartment complex, I keep meeting two rather beautiful neighbor
cats, at least one of which I believe is owned, although I've never met
his/her hoomin.  The first is a grey classic tabby who looks as if its
wearing opera gloves, as its forelegs are white half way up.  This very
sweet cat will come up to me, usually in the driveway of my apartment
and will flop over and roll on the pavement, allowing me to caress and
scratch him/her.  I haven't yet been able to sex this cat, but I
suspect its a female. I do worry about this cat, as it seems to really
like being in the driveway. But she/he wears a collar, and looks well
nourished, not at all like a stray.

The other also looks as if it gets regular meals as its coat looks to
be in good condition and it's not a thin cat.  It's more of a  smoky
grey with siamese-like points in a darker grey shade.  It too, is a
very sweet, friendly cat, whose gender I haven't yet determined.  But I
had quite a social exchange with this cat the other morning on the
concrete path by my front door which gets morning sunlight. The brazen
creature flopped down and had an attack of rollies right outside my
bedroom window in full view of Francesca and Nina.  Francesca reallly
gave me the cold shoulder, afterwards. =o)  She evidently doesn't like
me flirting with strange cats RIGHT under her nose.

I think I must have "sucker"  printed on me somewhere in writing that
only cats can see. =o)
