    Surprise on the deck! 7/3/11 update #24.

    I think I posted during the blizzards we had there were some kitty footprints in the snow on the deck (which surprised me because we have no strays). Well, I think we have the culprit!

    With the mid-70's weather recently, we have resumed the "romps" to the garden for Pinot. The romps are well chaperoned, and my spot is usually on the deck (which is really high up) to get a good view of the whole space she's allowed to roam (my husband is below for the chase if necessary). We were in these positions earlier this evening.

    I was having a cocktail, talking to my husband and watching Pinot. All of a sudden, I turned around, and there was an animal looking at me from the deck! It took a second, because that doesn't happen (wild animals come from the woods, but not while we're there), and I realized it was a REALLY BIG calico colored maine coon mix. I called to my husband and said, umm, hon, there's a cat on the deck! A really big cat!

    He hoisted the kitty (stating how big it was), and I said - hmm, I think I know where kitty belongs! We have newer neighbors across the way, he took Ticker home, and all was well. Pinot never even saw the kitty. It just cracked me up Ticker just walked up to the back door as if to say, well, where's my dinner?

    ...probably smelled dinner cooking and figured, "well, I'll cash in on that!". Amazing that Pinot never saw him/her!
