My favourite neighbour is a cat

(Edited)

Brad and I regularly do an afternoon walk from our home 🏠

Sometimes we walk up the hill and sometimes down. Sometimes we walk around the block and other times into the bush. It depends on how far we want to walk that day 🚶‍♀️🚶

At present, about half the time we walk up the hill and into the bush. That has us walk right past a place that seems to house several humans and several animals. My favourite of those is this cat 🐆

I don't know its name, nor its sex. But what I do know is that at least 50% of the time when Brad and I walk past it's out the front and comes directly to me for a pat.

At first I was hesitant. I allowed time for us to get to know each other. I was remembering a house sitting experience where the cat had a tendency to bite and scratch everyone, including its human parent. And, me, his willing carer 🥺

Thankfully this cat did none of that and over time we've become more and more enamoured with one another. It comes running most* of the time when it sees or hears (or smells?) me coming.

(I say "most" of the time because it is, after all, a cat. And cat will do whatever cats want to do, right? 😅)

Anyway, I'm not sure if Brad gets jealous or simply impatient with the loving attention I give this cat. He seems to pause and sigh, restlessly waiting for me each time I pat this adoring kitty cat.

But he mustn't mind too much, after all, he took all these photos 😉

Cats choose their humans. You're lucky! Looking at the colouring - three colours, right? She's a she. Tortoise shell and calico cats are generally females.

Oh, and yes, I am that mad cat lady. Aka The Cats' Mother. 🤣

Fascinating! Who knew you could pick up so much from a photo. Looks like three colours to me.

Ah, you're allowed to be a cat lover without being mad, I'm sure 😄😉😍

And yes, I feel lucky. Definitely 💓

What a beauty! Those eyes are something else. I miss having a kitty of my own, but we just can't risk that at the moment sadly. Not until I have somehow gotten the finances to make sure the yard is super safe for them.
Ah, animals, there is just something unusually special about the connection you make with them. 🐱

Agreed. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that there's no clever/silly higher human mind making things complicated.

Cats seldom go to humans. I had a cat and half of the time it never used to be with me. You are a lucky lady.😇
