Cupcake: I guess he has a back. It’s probably still outside.

Pierre: Not his back. I mean returned. He visited this time last year, too.

Ashton: Do I look scared?

Cupcake: Not really. And you’re scared of everything, Miss Ashton!

Ashton: Not when there’s a chance to go out on the porch, I’m not. Move your foot, Mr. Bones.

    I get the idea that this guy isn’t particularly threatening. He does look a little wan, though.

    He looks like he might need some help moving. Push him aside, Ashton.

    Cupcake, you were very brave to stand there very carefully and talk to Mr. Bones. He does look a little thin. Best you save some food for him. Go for it Ashton. You all have a great day.

    Maybe you should save a bit of your food for him, Cupcake. Or a taste or two of your whipped cream? He looks like a pretty nice guy ๐Ÿ™‚

    We remember Mr. Bones from last year!!

    Thank you for the thoughtful and kind comment you made on our post about our Daddy. We know he’s an Angel smiling down on us but we are heartbroken.

    Cupcake, I’m a full grown kitty and I’d be scared of Mr. Bones. You’re very brave to talk to him.
