Well Met

Recent snaps of my neighborhood cat friends:

Star

Sorry, kitty, but I've forgotten your name!

Thomas

My Man Sly!

Visiting with my feline friends while out brings a special kind of happiness, and I am thankful for it.

Let's Hop!

Two Years

It's PO'Monday!

Guess what?

It's been two years since my Paddy O'Malley tattoo.

Yes, it's unconventional and silly, and so was he.

Seeing Himself often, as artwork on my body, has helped ease the grief that I'd felt since losing him in such a surprising way.

He was my ❤️ cat.

Since the above, I've been inked with Da Boyz and Sweetie, as well as a crescent moon holding a cat, a homage to the Solar Eclipse from April, 2024, and a sparkling star.

Next on my hit list:

Angel and Chuck

Won't show a pic of the new tat; will reveal when it's properly unwrapped and healed.

When the artist stepped away and turned off his tattoo pen, I looked at my Celestial Babies, and whispered, "Oh, it's so good to see you two again!"

Walk On The Wild Side

Some recent images of the wildlife found in my 'hood:

Star, napping on the front porch.
This is NOT her house!

Monarch butterfly dropped in for a visit as I strolled down the sidewalk.

Adorable Torty, and I've forgotten her name.
Using the neighbor's porch like it's her own!

A deer, who stayed on the other side of the street and ahead of me.

Not a great pic of a  groundhog, as 'dem critters can move mighty FAST when they want to!

😻😻😻

Sights

Stuff seen in my 'hood:

The world's biggest spent whisker; glad I haven't run into this kitty!

Doggo sculpture...

...and it's matching cat sculpture.

Star hanging out atop a van.

Proof that Henry is using The Cat Hotel!

Thankfully, we haven't experienced wild weather, as has other parts of the US has; only plenty of rain, sun, and temperatures fluctuating down and up, up and down.

As I continue to work from home, I tie up my chuggin' shoes and get out for a walk twice a day.

Unafraid to carry an umbrella, to wear a floppy sun hat, or to wrap my face in a scarf.

And I always have my phone with me, ready to snap a pic of anything that strikes my fancy.

'Hood Kitties On The Paw

Always happy to be visited by my friends, while out in the 'hood!

Thankful to bump into both Niko and Star, after not seeing either of them during the snowiest and coldest weather.

Signs of Spring?!?

Sights

There are always interesting sights to see when walking in the 'hood:

Star, rolling on the sidewalk

Venus and Jupiter Conjunction

And a visit from a famous character:

Look at all the stuff Sly rubbed into his floof!

Friends in the 'Hood

We are sad to read that Angel Drake earned his wings.

Please visit 15 And Meowing to leave a note.

There are always new friends to wave at around us!

"Don't come any closer, lady!"

Window doggo!

This is Star; she comes running when I stop by.

Sneakers is often wary.

Note the eartip; someone is caring for this kitty.

Dub

You will note that some of these photos are close up, while others are farther away.

Over time, I've received permission from folks to step onto their property.

If I don't have it, I stay respectfully on the sidewalk.

'Hood Convos

As I walk around our neighborhood:

Me: "Good Morning!"

Neighbor: "The cats just knocked over a plant and we're cleaning it up!"

Me: "Oh!"

A plant knocker-over: Buttercup

Me: "Hello, just visiting my friend."

Neighbor, to other neighbor: "That's Sly's girlfriend."

Me: "Hehehe!"

Handsome Sly

The Hubby: "I saw your black-and-white friend while I was out yesterday."

Me: "Who?"

The Hubby: "You know, the kitty that you talk about."

Me: "Ah, that's Star."

Star, my friend.

Some sad news: 

Hotesse earned her angel's wings.

Visiting Friends

Recently, I managed to see a few neighbor friends!

In the cold weather, I'm not always walking the 'hood when my friends are about, but I lucked out this week!  I am thankful!

Handsome Sly!

Star was so comfy, that she did jump to greet me!

Here is a photo of Star, when she begged for some attention.
