He has always ranged far and wide in the neighborhood and I think he gets handouts at several locations.Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225908709483096965.post-14141969989209212182010-01-06T12:33:06.590-07:002010-01-06T12:33:06.590-07:00There is no cat that has adopted us, but I have a ...There is no cat that has adopted us, but I have a thought. People don't have cats as pets. Cats adopt people. As long as you give them food and drink, and what they like, they'll tolerate you. If they find something better, they'll move on. They do what pleases them and not what we think is the norm. Very complicated animals. Don't piss Smoke off. He might be looking arounding the neighborhood to see what else is available.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16353373844105134032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225908709483096965.post-59629654948024944362010-01-05T19:02:02.323-07:002010-01-05T19:02:02.323-07:00Dawn - I think you have it exactly right!

He may appear placid to you... but he is enforcing some rules in the neighborhood.<br /><br />You can come and visit me until I am tired of you and then I will kick your butt and send you home. And I will visit you any time I please... because I am King.<br /><br />In my humble opinion... his memory is working just fine ;)Dawn Droverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411044010089842985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225908709483096965.post-55436758355522365522010-01-05T17:10:16.343-07:002010-01-05T17:10:16.343-07:00Hmmmm, perhaps.Hmmmm, perhaps.Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225908709483096965.post-46715594883979352242010-01-05T16:49:21.845-07:002010-01-05T16:49:21.845-07:00Yeah, I would think kicking cat ass would be a nec...Yeah, I would think kicking cat ass would be a necessary trait for survival.

Blackie comes in and starts trouble. At least that's what I think even though he always seems to end up on the short end of the stick.Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225908709483096965.post-6658700592412084182010-01-05T13:58:32.514-07:002010-01-05T13:58:32.514-07:00Smoke wanted to bolster his own ego by kicking som...Smoke wanted to bolster his own ego by kicking some neighbor-cat booty? And since he remembers that he is the alpha cat, he's not too concerned about a negative outcome.TomboCheckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11076931481931258301noreply@blogger.com
