A DARK VISITOR

The great philosopher Groucho Marx once said: "If a black cat crosses your path, it signifies that the animal is going somewhere."

So much for superstition.

A black cat who frequents our neighborhood sometimes stops off for a drink in our back yard.

Some times he curls up close to the slider door for awhile and if I approach from the other side of it he just glares at me.

If I open the door he skitters off, not tame enough to allow me to make contact with him.

Our fire captain neighbor says he's a troublemaker and bullies the other cats in the area.

At any rate he visited the cat pub the other day and then went up the wall and disappeared into another yard.

I was just able to catch one quick shot of him.


If you have a black cat in your neighborhood, just remember the words of Groucho.

We've had a couple (Primo and Blackwell) for pets in days gone by and they were good members of our family.
