A case of mistaken iden - cat - y

Meet Calico kitty. She lives in the neighborhood, but we don't know who belongs to her. She likes to hang out around our place, and we sometimes see her in the community garden plots beside the garage door. She fairly resembles a new kitty named Cash, that lives on the third floor, with one of our friends. The most visible difference is......oh about 8 pounds. Calico kitty was happily messing up the community gardens one day, when a cat lover exiting the garage, mistook her for the upstairs kitty, Cash. The cat lover frantically tried to catch her, and put her inside their car for safe keeping, until they could notify Cash's owner that she has escaped by falling from the third floor balcony. A definite case of mistaken iden-cat-y. Calico kitty was having no part of the catnapping, and showed her displeasure at the attempt, by leaving some deep scratches. The "would be hero" ran upstairs to raise the alarm, banging on Cash's door. When the door opened up, there was Cash. Safe and sound, and about 8 pounds lighter. Calico kitty, now runs away when anyone approaches her after getting out of a vehicle. And she still messes up the community gardens. Truly a case of mistaken iden-cat-y. And no, it was not me. Meow.

  3. Oh how funny! She's beautiful; looks like she's wearing a black mask. Because we are home most of the time, we are constantly rounding up the neighbors' dogs until the owers get home from work. With the recent rains, all the dogs can easily dig out under their fences! We keep a really big box of dog biscuits for those occasions! Thanks for sharing the cute story and beautiful photos. Enjoy your Sat.

  4. This looks so much like our Lucy. But I know it can't be her as she was just asking for water. I'll have to include her in a blog post this weekend so you can all see her!

    Happy Saturday! ~Natalie

    p.s. Lucy weighs about 13 pounds.

  8. Hi Jen. I am enjoying your posts more all the time. Thanks for the chuckles. Thanks too for the info about Picassa I went in there and then experimented for the Sunday Challenge. I have it auto posting so who knows what it will turn out like and I don't remember how I did it. I guess more practice will help. Thanks anyhow.

  11. Poor Calico Kitty. How was she to know she looked like someone else? And community gardens are always so enticing for kitties too. Poor Calico Kitty. :-)
