New Old and New New Yard Art

Have acquired a couple of new cat items for the gardens at Eastside Cats.

An old piece that we've had for years called Ghost Cat: gifted to us by neighbors.

New to us, but old; found recently at a garage sale.
I like the sound of the bells.

This new big kitty weighs a lot!
Here he is, waiting for me to pick him up to take him home.

Kitty now enjoying himself amid the hosta leaves, placed yesterday.

Purchased last year; I'm a sucker for star/moon combinations.

Looking a bit dirty, these three metal cats were collected over the years at local art fairs.

More 'Hood Cats

There are always cats to be found on my neighborhood walks!

Oops!
Cat paw prints in fresh sidewalk cement.

Guy and I nuzzle.
His caretaker put him in a wee coat.

Judging Window Cat.

Very unsociable runaway cat!

During the Thanksgiving holiday, a visitor had this great decal on their car.

We have visitors to our yard!

The cats are seen daily, drinking from the little pool of water that comes out the discharge tube from our basement sump-pump.

In this photo, both are in the neighbor's yard.

I've placed a water bucket on our deck, hoping to convince them to drink clean water.

They run away when I appear, so I have my work cut out to habituate them to my presence.

Challenge: accepted!

Changes

How do I tell my new boss that he and my cat have the same name?

My 'old' boss of almost five years is moving to a new position within our company.  Today is his last day here.  I wish him good luck and fair sailing! My new supervisor is someone whom I've worked with in the past, and I think we'll get along just fine.  I may cry a tear or two, as the day slips away and the future comes marching in.  In a way, I am mourning the loss of a good relationship, and finely-tuned teamwork.

After this weekend, I will embrace the new!  If I live through the missing hour, that is....

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." - Winston Churchill

P.S. I found out who sent the text of the cat in my last post!  Hahahaha!  A co-worker, and her cat is LeRoy.  She says he's a pill, since he glares at her other cats, making them hide from him.  But he's adorable!
