Unwelcome Visitor

Neighbor cat: Oh, hi!

Newton: Hi, neighbor! How are you today? Do you want to play a game?

Ashton: * grrrrrrrrrrrr *

Neighbor cat: I’m fine.  How are you? I’m just passing through as I make my rounds. I didn’t expect anyone to be here.

Newton: We’re enjoying the screened porch. We aren’t out here often, so I’m not surprised you didn’t expect us.

Ashton: * grrrrrrrrrrrrr *

Ashton: * SCREE! *

Newton: Holy cat, Ash. Who taught you to talk like that? It isn’t ladylike at all!

Neighbor Cat: I’ll just be going…

Newton: But don’t you want to play a game?

Ashton: I told HIM!

The head peep is away at a conference, learning new things with around with a bunch of veterinarians, so if you don’t see us commenting on other blogs this week, it’s all her fault. We just hope she doesn’t come back smelling like the vet…

    Ashton, that is telling that kitty kat. You need to keep everyone straight in the neighborhood. Hope Mom learns a lot with all the veterinarians. You all have a great day.

    That is a hilarious sequence! We can certainly understand your attitude Newton, as you never know about these outsiders….!

    We rarely get any intruders now that our neighbor kitty Sparky has moved to Florida. Occasionally some other neighbor cat will cross through our yard, but not often. Hope Mom Julie gets home soon. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    You sure did tell him, Ashton! We have neighborhood cats that come up to our door and windows often. I don’t have any guard kitties like you, though, Ashton. My kitties are all more like Newton and like to fraternize with the outsiders.

    Ashton, nice job telling that neighbor cat off! That’s what we would have done too!!!

    Your neighbor seems nice. Ashton, I think Annie would do the same as you (she growls if someone knocks on the door), and Newton, I think Pierre would be friendly like you.

    Awww that poor kitty probably just wanted to be friends with you…his tail looked sad. That is so cool that your human is at a conference with Vets! Love your human!

    We’re not very social with our outdoor neighbors either.

    We’re not sure how we’d react if we had a kitty visitor outside our door.
