Suburban Wildlife

A few months ago, ES1 & I were bringing in a load of groceries. As we were walking in, a black cat whom we had never seen before walked up to us, and started walking between our legs, rubbing his scent up against us. After we finished bringing in our groceries, he stayed on our back porch, watching us inside the house.

We called the owner, to make sure he wasn't lost. His name was "Boy," and it turns out that they allow him to roam the neighborhood. We just wanted to make sure that some kid wasn't worried about his or her kitty. Every now and then, we see him around.

This morning, we found him sitting on our back deck, apparently guarding it.

The following ensued.
