Twelfth Day Visitor

It’s the Twelfth Day of Christmas and, in the tradition of the Season, someone came to visit. Well, this is from a couple of mornings ago, but I suspect he is still around the neighbourhood. There are a couple of local cats whom I have seen. I observe them very rarely, though I find signs of them - signs like this - so I suspect they are indoor/outdoor cats, who have warm places to go when it is cold outside.



In any case, this one apparently decided, for some reason, to use the driveway of the Cosy Cabin for his litterbox, and the newly fallen snow for his litter. Why there, I don’t know. He perhaps didn’t wish to sully the path he usually walks.


In any case, there are cats in the vicinity. I keep my eyes open for any resembling lost cats whose owners are advertising for them, but this one seems to have the confidence to walk down an open street and across front lawns: a cat who has a family and a home - and whose idea of welcoming a new neighbour at Christmastime is truly feline.

  1. Snow as cat litter seems, uh, uncomfortable for certain sensitive areas. I hope you're right about your visitor having a home.

  9. Chances are he was letting your crew of newcomers know they weren't the first to settle there.

  11. Brat cat! Leaving his/her calling car on the driveway is probably not the best introduction. I do wish people wouldn't allow the cats to roam, even in their own neighbourhoods.
