Neighbor Cat and the Adventures of Bad Manners

Today at lunch, Nate & I heard a tiny bell jingling outside the door. Upon opening it, I saw a grey blur dash past me in a flurry of furry paws and whiskers. Neighbor Cat had arrived.

Neighbor Cat wandered into the living room as Nate & I stared at her, bewildered, our lunches growing cold. We watched as she hopped onto the coffee table and then onto our Poncho Coucho. Immediately the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary caught her attention, filling me with hope that this unexpected guest would prove to be an amiable afternoon companion.

However…

She proceeded to gnaw on our houseplants,

deupholster our furniture, and

make a deposit in Crow’s dragon plant.

Neighbor Cat was quickly and indecorously ushered out. We offered her no return invitation, despite the impending snowstorm.

(Sorry Crow… Upon examination, I think it was just cat urine though. Maybe your dragon plant will now glow in the dark?)

    neighbor cat is AWESOME.
    i have Lewis, the sassy ginger tomcat who meets me at the gate every evening when I come home from work–his origins are unknown, and I am considering attempting to convert him to the life of a fat happy housecat, litterbox and all :)

    Friend Cat is definitely the best vagrant cat in the area. That is, until I discover Philosocat or Zombiecat.

    On the deposit front: whether urine or doo, perhaps it will act as a fertilizer and revive our dying greener.

    THATS why there was a crater in the middle of the dragon tree! And you better take that back, Meredith. It is NOT dying.

    Deven, her name is CatFriend. Sheesh. Get it right.
    But yes, definitely best cat in the neighborhood. Actually, as far as I can tell, best cat in the world. This is probably due to the fact that she is actually a terrier trapped inside a feline body.
