Carport Kitty on the move

Carport Kitty sitting in our driveway assessing the situation

Hmmm…

inevitable

I told Pretty I believed Neighbor John must be out of town this week because Carport Kitty, Bully Cat and Yellow Cat a/k/a Orange Tabby have been frequenting our carport daily. For the past couple of nights CK has stayed in the box I improvised for her next to the back door steps she used as her signal it was time for me to prepare her meals. Yesterday was a nasty rainy cold day – I noticed she was in her box every time I opened the kitchen door.

I had to explain to her that her new home was the best I could do under the circumstances. She seemed to meow back at me as if to say what circumstances? Sigh.

Carport Kitty has arrived.
