The Prince and the Pauper

It's like a mirror image, almost!

I did finally put a little dish of food out for this guy after he was here

 three days in a row.  He looks a little leary of me, doesn't he?

Last time I did this was with Peaches, who I fell in love with.

It took me months of befriending him before I tricked him into

 a trap and got him some vet care, a bad tooth pulled, shots, flea

control and neutered.  He disappeared and never came back and

he broke my heart. And it's only been 2 months since Tiger died...

so, I'm a little hesitant to do this again.  Still the poor guy has chosen

to camp out by our back door...mostly to get out of the rain,

I'm guessing.  So, we'll see how this goes!

About 6 of our cats were out there with him,

all obvious friends. ha.  I think I need to name this kitty

so I can give him a 'label' for his posts here. :)

A Visitor

This boy has been seen a few times in our yard this week.

He's obviously homeless....not neutered, thin, scraggly, etc.

He could pass for Slate and Smoke's brother, couldn't he?

Funny thing, we saw Slate outside doing this funny

playful dance at him, like he was so excited to see him

and was trying to be friendly and charming.  Hilarious!

I'm not really looking to take in another kitty but I'd 

certainly not hesitate to trap him and get him neutered.

Everyone seems friendly to him and they have the instincts

to know.  There have been male feral cats come into the 

yard and ours just freak out.  They are not welcome at all!

I just assume they know who is friendly and who is trouble.

They befriended Slate this same way!  So, I don't make the

adoption choices...they do!  I'm going to refrain from

feeding him just yet....or naming him. haha.

The Mister seems more excited than me, believe it or

 not.  He's been out there calling to him and being friendly.

I've just been watching from the window. Kind of amusing. :)
