neighborcat is a friend of mine.i used to think she was a stray in need of a place to crash, but it turns out she not only has a home, but she has a very busy social calendar, as well. she comes to my house, gets stoned, does a little light mousing, and has a nap.
and then she leaves.
she has never accepted food from me, although if i put down a saucer of milk, she will drink that.
i know from talking to the neighbors that she eats at some of their houses, and that she hangs out in over a half dozen homes; there are probably more. these days she's very busy cozying up the the men in my neighborhood; as i'm sitting at my desk i see her waiting for guys to come home in the afternoons and when they do, she puts on her pretty face and gets all touchy-feely, way more friendly than she usually is and they bend down and scratch her belly and she happily trots behind them and waits at their front doors for them to let her in.
i'm pretty sure that yesterday i saw her look back and wink at me.
today she was out in the driveway hunting and i couldn't see what she was stalking (she's not very good at it), but there was this moment in which she looked up and saw me watching her and i almost swear i heard her think "do NOT screw this up for me", so i moved quietly behind the window and didn't open it up to get a really clear picture.
ok, got yer back.

This could be our cat!! He is a black and white with a black smudge under his nose (we call him Smudgie... very original) He comes and goes as he pleases to all of the neighbors for food, naps and pets. Those friendly Cow Cats :)
