Neighbors' cats in my yard.
hmmm.... Just must comment on something in your story.
I love cats, and have a darling of my own. Who stays entirely in the house, or, rarely, in the fenced garden under supervision. Like many other residents, I abhore having other people's cats coming into my yard. They spread diseases, dig up plants, kill my baby turtles, mess with the fish in the pond, pee stinky urine, and basicly intrude on MY space. I, myself, have threatened to set a trap to catch the two who frequent my yard. And then the neighbors two doors down can find their beloved kitty at the pount, just like your Chances. If they love their cat so much, why let it run loose? And if they respect their neighbors, why let it mess all over my yard? Sorry to hit on this negative point, but I just think pet owners must be responsible both to their animals and to their neighbors.
Other than that, yours is a beautiful kitty. And I am entirely curious about that rock with the hole in it in the background. Is it a hollow rock with a hiding place for the cat, or a hole completely through it, for decoration?
