Who be Boo?

The Boo and Friends Sept 2010

Clockwise from left to right, next door kitty, and then all three remaining Bootsie.

 

There is this knock-knock joke punch line that has stuck in my head forever.  I don’t know if I read it in a book, or saw the scene in a movie.  But there are two characters, one of whom is trying to pull a fast one on the other.  He says, “knock, knock!” 

The other one says “who’s there?”

“Boo.”

Now the common answer would be “Boo who?” And then the first guy would answer, “Oh don’t be such a cry baby.”

But the second guy outsmarted the first by asking “who be Boo?”

Clockwise again, top is Boo, bottom is next door kitty.

 

And believe me that’s in my head running laps lately like you wouldn’t believe.

Look at these two, who is Boo, and whom is next door kitty?  Gar sometimes can’t tell, and I can’t always tell.  Except Boo has a bit of a tummy, [gotta do some more ab work booty baby].

Boo and Friends Sept 2010

Boo, Next door kitty twice, last one is Boo, and next door kitty.

 

If you don’t see them front on, or only see part of them through the bushes it’s hard to tell them apart. What are the odds that next door kitty would move in here?

So I am asking, who be Boo?

And just after I wrote this, Gar told me he was pretty positive that when he called the Boo in tonight, he was standing on the deck, right beside a raccoon.  The Boo came in, and the raccoon shuffled off into the bushes.  Sigh...what am I to do with that kitty?

  1. Jen,

    Great picture! I had a cat named Bootsie who looked just like that many years ago.

    Your sunflower pictures are stunning.

  2. Wow...You have to get him to look at you, don't you...cause one has more white on his nose...and a larger white bib...right?

    Happy Saturday ~Natalie

  3. Mom and Dad have three all-black cats from the same litter. I think figuring out who's who at any given moment gives them something to talk about.

  4. Boo Who!?
    Love the collages, and yes - that would be a Boo challenge!

  5. Such a fun post ~ I think both tuxedo kitties look so dashing! Perhaps just bring both inside ~ but indeed ~ the little raccoon friend must stay outside. ;)

    Happy Day!

  8. Jen, you reminded me of a situation we had several years ago. I often saw 'my cat' out in the yard but when I called him he would run away. I couldn't figure it out until we realized a feral cat had taken up residence around our house and was almost a twin to our own cat!

  10. She's a sweetie. My great aunt had a cat named bootsie(looks the same also). Her and her cat lived a long life.
    I'm surprised the racoon didn't upset her.

  11. Wow, so similar those kitties are! Poor Boo if you forget him outside one night thinking you took him in but it was the neighbour cat..kinda comical though too...hehehe..they are beautiful though- both of them. We have two brothers, the only way to see who is who is by the white mustache over their lip..one has a half the other a full...otherwise I don't know who is who...

  12. Wow, I see! The only difference I noticed was the markings on the face. The next door kitty has the white line going up its face. They are both so adorable! The eyes are almost always my favorite part.
