Catnip thief

I was about to head out for some errands this morning and Vino wouldn't
come in from the back yard when I called him.  I never leave the house
without making sure he's inside, so I went round the back to get him.
As I rounded the corner of the house, I saw this interloper cat from the
neighbourhood in the pot where I grow some catnip.  He was a motley kind
of tortoiseshell colour and had a red collar on.  He was scrunched into
the smallish pot and was writhing around on his back, frantically
grinding as much nip into his fur as possible.
Vino was sitting about a meter away watching with fascination.  As soon
as interloper noticed me, he ran off and scaled the 7 foot high solid
wooden fence.  Vino ran after him but of course he's useless at climbing
and kept falling off halfway up the fence.  He tried a couple of times
before I could get to him but it was no use.  The catnip thief got away
and Vino got the walk of shame back into the house.

Hehehe!  Love the image.  Interloper was probably a girl?

Yeah, who knows?  I always assume all animals are boys until I learn
otherwise.  Habit.

I think she said this because the kitty was a tortie, which are almost
always girls. But, Vino being in the condition he's in, it probably doesn't
matter what sex the interloper is, anyway. :)

I don't know.  In spite of being altered, all our male cats have been very
male in their behavior, and all the girls have been very ladylike.  Even
when they were being brats.  And the boys seem to let the girls get away
with stuff they would beat another boycat up for.

I wish Licky would do that with Smudge!!

Poor Mr Vino, although I suspect you're glad he can't climb.
