Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2007A new ginger neighbour
I've noticed a fluffy ginger cat around a few times, which has really stood out since there are only a handful of cats in the neighbourhood. I never got to meet him until today. I opened the front door to let Chester out and we came face to face with the ginger, who was sniffing at our door. Chester, who has reached terminal fatness, ripped out the door in hot pursuit. They did they typical cat standoff with the interloper under a car in front of the house and Chester peering under. I think Chester was three times the size of "Ginger". I didn't get to see what happened afterwards because the baby was crying. Otis was hysterical. He was inside the house when this happened with his nose pressed up against the window. I could hear him willing me to let him out! Some time later, Chester came back in with a tail the size of raccoon's tail and Otis raced out to find ... nobody. When I left the house later, I drove by the house I suspect is Ginger's home. I could tell because there was Ginger DOING THE CELLO ON THE FRONT LAWN. Hysterical. I laughed all the way down the block. What a way to announce your arrival into the neighbourhood :-) Susan M Otis and Chester > When I left the house later, I drove by the house I suspect is Ginger's > home.

He's quite big and round, and has a very cheeky face-- the face of a whole tom. I saw him a few weeks ago when there was still snow on the ground. And he was in the yard, smelling my crocuses a couple, of days ago (yes, "IM IN UR YARD SMELLIN UR FLOWRS" ;)) Stinky and Dante were absolutely indignant. Those orange boys have 'tude to spare. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh Make Levees, Not War try living with them... we got a new back sliding door and Tiger was talking to the world and to the yellow boy who was in HIS yard so loud I am sure the entire town heard it... and in December when we had the ice storm/no utilities, DH had set a pizza box on the patio... it was closed and on top of the coolers of food... he went out to get milk and spooked a cat... thought it was our buff colored Chester at first... while trying to figure out how he had gotten out he retrieved the milk and turned to come in the house, Tiger and Chester were both on the buffet... NOT at all happy... DH thinks well I'll eat the pizza since I am out her... that cheeky fellow had eaten all of the cheese off the top of two large slices of pizza...

When I pass by his/her apartment and B&W happens to be in the window, he/she talks to me urgently. It's either 'hello, who are YOU?" or "Let me outta here!"

Maybe he was just neutered after he'd grown up and developed his cheekiness.

My lovely friend June, who has 30ish dogs, two litters of puppies (she is a famous breeder of world class whippets) a useless husband who cannot stir his own tea, let alone get himself anything to eat, a 96 y o father in hospital (in the last few days) is still coming every morning to feed and water the chickens for me. She also emptied my ash hod down on the compost heap and got out my Dyson so I can make an attempt at cleaning up as my boss is visiting tomorrow. I have taken over evening duties which only consists of dropping popholes at dusk. Tweed P.S. Have I said already that I asked her to keep the cats in at night while I was away, she quickly understood Boyfriend's timidity about coming inside while she was in the house herself, so she went down the garden and pretended to be messing around with the chickens so he thought she hadn't noticed him and went straight in! >>> I'm all the way home with the kitties :-)) since yesterday >>> afternoon.

June sounds like she's worth more than her weight in gold, I'm glad you have such good friends.

"Lovely" isn't a good enough word. Does she have a halo?

I underestimated the effect and the level of pain, figuring that it would be a piece of the proverbial after the last lot :-P > Did the surgery go OK? I think so. The surgeon did not insert the plastic mesh after all, he just sewed up the two defects in the muscle wall. It's called a "tension repair" whereas a repair with mesh has no tension on it and is therefore less painful apparently. > Are you feeling any better? Better than the first couple of days after the op, yes! My sleep pattern is all over the place and I am exhausted. Hopefully this time next week I shall be much improved. Thanks for asking.
