Getting Acquainted


There is this beautiful, young orange cat who has been around for a year or so now.  The cat wears some kind of radio locator around it's neck,   It is a pretty cat and it will approach us from time to time.  But it has always stayed somewhere in the yard.  A few times in warmer weather, it came up to the all glass back door, and Grace was inside the house and she went nuts, throwing herself up against the glass to scare the orange cat away, but that cat just sat there.  But the other day, orange cat came up on the porch and jumped up on a small wicker end table, and had a perfect view into our living room.  So here is Grace getting a new view of orange cat. The cat seems mostly curious and friendly.


But then Grace got up on the radiator and walked back and forth and hissed at orange cag and also threw herself against the glass again!  Orange cat never acted agressive at all.  But I guess Grace knows that this is her turf, and that's why the agression.  Oh, and Sam also stood on his hind legs a couple of times and even he, the silent cat who never even mews, emitted some growling noises.  Why can't these cats just get along!   :-)

Cute photos. The orange cat must have a home nearby if it is wearing a radio locator around its neck. Hopefully it has a warm place to sleep in this cold weather. Joan

Fun photos. Cats can be endlessly entertaining - except when napping, which is often.

I noticed that in both photos the orange cat is at a higher level than Grace. So it would look like the aggressor. Poor Grace is defending her turf. Betsey
