Aye...There's the Rub...

So here's the problem..

As soon as both of my kitties were gone, the 'CAT WANTED' sign (which is invisible, by the way) went up out in front...

This little kitty has been hanging around... VERY scared and skittery..

The problem? I'm going on vacation soon... so what do I do??

I fed her (?) because she seems sooo skinny. She wouldn't come near me, but cried and cried...

Then, last night, I sat on the steps and she finally sidled up beside me and once I petted her head, she went nuts.. I think she wanted petting more than food.. she gets so excited at the affection that she drools...

Now, she's sitting on my front mat...

sigh...

Oh..

and just to add to the mix, there has been a rangy kitty (oh.. maybe 6 months old?) hanging around the back yard... I believe he's someone's pet, as he seems to be well cared for..

However,....

Tonight he came out front and sniffed at the empty bowl and then sauntered over towards where the little one has made her 'home'...

Two seconds later he went speeding by, with her hot on his tail, running like mad!

What am I to do??

Image is ALL!

I only had my cell phone, so these are a bit blurry...


I saw this fellow at the market today. He was just sitting there, stoic and impressive and he KNEW it...

He barked at the car parked next to him, but merely turned his head and looked at me..

I was ALMOST intimidated!

Ok...

I admit it...

I was at least impressed at the coolness of it..

It's the Heat... No, REALLY!

Two things have conspired to keep me from posting, other than a general malaise that usually hits before I travel.... I need to hit the road...

One.. the heat. It has been so sticky and humid and hot lately that it takes an effort to do anything. My mind doesn't function as it should (well, at least as it SHOULD should). And I'm the lucky one because it's cooler here than anywhere for several hundred miles in any direction...

well...

except for West, of course.

Two... I need a new computer. A new 'BIG' computer. I use this little laptop all the time, and it slows me down on some things while tempting me on others. It seems I can play games while watching TV at night, but SOMEHOW I can't blog..

hmm...

I am going to rectify the second thing after I get back from the road, and hope that nature resolves the other...

If this is global warming...

It sucks!

I want THIS KIND OF WEATHER!





and this...




and I miss y'all...
