Neighborhood watch


There is a small black cat that lounges often outside a house on the next block. Yesterday, when it saw me coming, it got up to come and meet me. The collar gives the kitty's address - one door down from the lounging spot - and name: Petro.


These are happy streets.

  2. It looks like a lovely tree lined street. Perhaps Storbie has sent one of his keetens to watch over you and the Smoothman. I see happiness in your new home and a beautiful garden.

  9. Neighborhood kitties are the best! There are several on my various dog walk routes and I love greeting them. Most have learned that Maggie likes cats, so we all socialize for a few minutes, then go our ways. Always leaves me smiling.

  11. This made my day. Like other posters above, I have a feeling that Don Estorbo just might have something to do with this. After all, cars like gods, work in mysterious ways.

  12. "Cats," not "cars" work in mysterious ways. What a funny typo! (Of course, to me, when cars work, it is in mysterious ways!

  13. "-ro" rather than "-ra" suggests a he-cat.

    Clearing out books and papers, I ran across this recipe for mosquito repellent
    8 oz almond oil
    1/4 tsp lemon eucalyptus essential oil
    1/8 tsp each lavender and geranium essential oils
    Do a skin test before using with enthusiasm (of course).

    and these anti-biter planting recommendations
    bee balm
    ageratum
    marigolds

    go well,
    Melanie, et al but especially ~^!^~

  14. He/she is so sweet I had to pet the nose in the picture. I agree with the other one of the keetens has come to watch over you.

  17. If the cat recognizes you, you are already a regular. Welcome home!
