There’s a new town crier in my neighborhood. The past few years there was a huge tiger cat
who would stroll through the yard, announcing his arrival as he came. He’d stand where he could be easily seen from
the back living room and side dining room windows. My cats would hop up on the sills and get the
scoop on the neighborhood.
The tiger seems to have been replaced. There is now a very loud mostly black kitty
who comes to share the local gossip. He
hasn’t learned to paraphrase yet. Over
the weekend he spent several hours talking in my yard. He stayed so long that my cats lost interest
and wandered off to nap.
Last night, in the wee hours of the morning, he returned and
decided to sit on the outside of the non-functioning air conditioner while my
cats perched on the inside of it. Or so
I’m guessing. All I know is somehow the
alarm system was triggered at that window.
At 3:45 AM. This morning there
were footprints on the top of the ac unit outside and my cats were afraid to
scamper by it.
I’ve been happily ignoring that air conditioner for
years. It’s old and huge and very
heavy. Now however, I suppose I must
deal with it. Guess that’s the spot
where my purging of useless things will begin.
Sigh.
