    Success! The smallest tabby belongs to their neighbor across the street. He got out through a window screen that had a hole in it. My mom and dad's next-door neighbor took him back across the street so he wouldn't get hit by a car, and he's now safely inside again. So that's one less outside kitty. Tuxie and fluffy tabby are regular visitors, though.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    I went to my mom and dad's this afternoon, and when I got there, this kitty (whose nickname is now Cow Kitty) was sitting on their front porch. It was so cute, like he was waiting for my mom to open the door and serve him dinner! My mom said that Cow Kitty is frequently on the porch when she opens the front door to get the mail. He (we're guessing Cow Kitty is a he) will stay put until she opens the screen door. Then he leaves. My mom told me that Fluffy Tabby will visit the back yard often. Fluffy is getting better about staying put when my mom or dad are outside. I walked across the neighbors' front lawn and Cow Kitty watched me, but when I got about 5 feet from him, he decided to go. But he didn't run, just meowed, turned and walked away.

    Still trying to figure out if these kitties belong to anyone on the block. My dad has asked a few of the neighbors who walk with their dogs, but everyone says the same thing, they are the neighborhood kitties. One lady who walks with her dog is also keeping an eye on the cats with the hope of getting them somewhere safe.

    Here's a picture of the visitor. I'm sorry it's so blurry - I used the zoom on the camera because I didn't want to get too close to the kitty.

    Thank you so much, Elyse and your parents, for looking out for and being concerned about these kitties.

    Best wishes, Cow Kitty and Fluffy Tabby! Be safe and well.
