Yeah, I know some people who don't have computers so I still do "snail mail" from time to time. There was a cute little grey tabby looking for all the world like it was guarding the front door. I said hello to the cat and stooped down to pet it. It scooted under a bush. Ah, a feral. As soon as I went inside the cat resumed it's place in front of the door again. There were lots of people going in and out. The cat would move aside then sit back down in front of the door. I didn't see any signs of it but someone must be feeding the cat. Either that or there are a lot of mice or marsh rats around the Post Office. I can't think of any other reason for her to just sit there by the front door like that. She was cute. It's cool to see things like that. Our local club has a tabby that has been there close to a year now. Most people bring their dogs too and yet this cat remains unscathed and happy to mingle amongst people. Many years ago my adult kids and I traveled to Europe. We stayed in a B&B in Amsterdam, and they had a resident cat. He would roam the building, and if you opened your door (or left it ajar) he'd come in for a visit. Very cool |

And the big black cat would go from group to group, doing his "I'm so hungry, they never feed me here" impression for each one. He really scored that day. I think he weighed about 29 pounds, and he was not a Maine Coon or any other large breed. He was also about 19 years old. Amazingly, he was pretty active - well, about as active as any member of a species that sleeps 16 hours per day - and could still jump up on the furniture. Which just goes to show that a cat's mandate to be naughty will overcome any potential physical obstacle. That sounds a bit like my Lucy - big, always hungry... sleeps most of the day... then races around the house like a lunatic when I'm trying to sleep. |
