Readers may recall a blog-entry from a week ago, when I wrote that Sable seemed to be talking to Moxy, but not to other cats in the Cosy Cabin. A friend mentioned this weekend that Sabe and Moxy may have know each other before taking up residence here.
Sable, of course, had been coming to my apartment building for years. Mox had been doing so, as well: he was an inside/outside cat, semi-owned by my former resident manager. Therefore, Moxy was familiar with the building’s vicinity. Even then, he was the Mixer, and knew other cats. Once in a while, he would come to my ground floor apartment, and Sable was no stranger to the resident manager’s home, though she would stay outside and nibble what he put out for strays.
It’s entirely possible that these two former outsiders were acquainted even then. Moxy, being who he is, would have tried to be a pal. Sable seems not averse to new chums. Perhaps they are renewing their friendship, rather than forging one.
That is a lovely idea that they knew each other previously. New or renewing a friendship, it is good to have a friend.
ReplyDeleteI so wish we could know what these special little creatures are thinking about.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly leaves you wondering about these two. Their life outside together maybe as friends or even maybe as competitor for the food.
ReplyDeleteThat hadn't occurred to me but makes perfect sense, that they would have been acquainted previously. Either way, I'm glad that Sable seems to be developing a friendship with Moxy. Most of us need a friend or two in life. 🙂
ReplyDeleteFriendship!

ReplyDeleteSable and Moxy knowing each other during the time they spent outside makes sense. And it looks like Moxy is helping Sable adjust to being an indoor kitty.
ReplyDeleteNow that I think of it, your friend is probably right! It's nice to think that Sable has a familiar face around the house.
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone. I feel as though your friend has the right idea and they did know one another before.
ReplyDeleteThat is sweet.
ReplyDeleteThat's really nice they seem to be renewing that friendship.
