Hello, is anybody home?

**Vermontcat** · 02-10-2008, 04:09 PM

Since last summer, the handsome kitty from next door has been stopping by for regular visits.
I thought you all would like to see some photos I took of him this fall.

Can Samantha come out and play?

Knock, knock, can I come in?

Knock, knock. Hellooooooo?

Is anybody home?

Can you come out and play with me?

That is his house in the background, if no one is home there, he comes over to my house for some attention which he knows he will always get.

More photos in the next post.

He liked watching the construction workers working on our addition.
(That is why the yard is such a mess.)

I love his big white mittens.

Just a few more photos in the next post.

Did I mention how much I love his big furry feet?

Coming to say hello and get some petting from me.

Nibbling on some grass by the garden.

That's all the photos I have for now.
We have a lot of snow on the ground now so he mostly stays inside his house but we do see him once in a while on the warmer winter days.
I hope everyone enjoyed seeing his photos.

Aw, he's quite a handsome guy! His nosing around reminds me of Churchy.

Momcat, he's not so little, he's a Maine Coon so he's quite a bit bigger than my Samantha.
Samantha is almost 20 years old now, she really doesn't go outside anymore so it's nice to have him patrolling our yard for us and it's nice to have a kitty greet us in the driveway when we come home as well as our sweet Samantha waiting for us inside the house.

His owners do take good care of him, he even has purple soft paws on his claws but you can't see them because his paws are so fuzzy. He's really good about not wandering too far from his house.

What a wonderful neighbour to have

He is a very handsome boy and like you, I love those big fuzzy paws. Looks like a great supervisor to have around the house

I'm sure your neighbours appreciate that you are so good to him and that he is in a safe place when 'visiting'.

Tsk, tsk, for SHAME! and you call yourself a CAT owner? Don't you KNOW he was SUPERVISING, to make sure they did everything CORRECTLY??!! (Bet he also checked out their lunch boxes!)

He is lovely. I hope he is fixed, what with him being out and about. I'd be SO tempted to just open that screen door . . . . .

He looks like quite the gentle giant. Thanks for sharing the nice pictures.

Oh yes, you are totally right, he was supervising them and I'm pretty sure that he was sharing lunches with them too.

Yes, he is fixed, I checked when I first met him. They adopted him from our local shelter a year ago December. I thought they were fostering him but they adopted him so he has a permanent home next door.

Thanks for all the nice replies everyone.
Fuzzybuns, your Churchy is a handsome kitty too.

He sure is handsome and he reminds me of my Sky a little bit both in looks and personality.

Thanks for sharing his pictures with us.

The size of those paws....are you sure he wasn't driving nails along side the construction crew????

**Felicia's Mom** · 02-10-2008, 09:16 PM

Your friend looks well taken care of.

**cassiesmom** · 02-10-2008, 09:19 PM

Neighbor kitty, you're so handsome and I'm glad you are good and careful in your outdoor wanderings. i would not want anything to happen to you!

**momcat** · 02-10-2008, 04:18 PM

What a sweet little kitty! Do yours go outside to play with him? From your pictures, kitty looks well cared for and fed. I hope very much that he is loved and cared for by his owners. It's amazing how kitties know just where to go for some extra attention and a tasty snack.
