I've decided to change the name I previously gave to my stray cat friend 'Stripes', to SPEEDY. Whenever he's nearby and hears me messing around in my back room, the BIG boy comes rushhhhhhing through the Pet Door to scare the hell out of me...
It makes me laugh though; after righting myself from the floor.
He's still hanging around my backyard, back porch or inside my back room. If I put food down, he'll eat it every time, regardless how soon it is after his last meal.
Speedy's eating habit is more like a dog... Dogs will stuff themselves till they throw up if allowed to... I guess my cat friend knows the pangs of prolonged hunger from being out on the street? That might explain why he eats as if it may be his last meal?
I don't know...
In any case, I'm happy to feed him, as long as I have food to do it with, just like my other friend Greystone who is back on the scene daily.
The little grey boy sort of disappeared recently, or I just missed his visits? Sometimes its like that with these feline visitors; they vanish for awhile, then...re-appear... like magic…
To me, they are like magical creatures; there's something very mysterious and special about them. The ancient Egyptians didn't hold cats in such high regard for nothing!
Did you know that, in ancient Egypt, killing of a cat was akin to murder? If caught, you might have been put to death under their law.
Anyway... Speedy was a good protector of his baby girl before I enlisted the aid of an animal rescue group to help me find her a home. He showed signs of missing her for awhile after she was gone. He'd come into the house and look around for her in spots she used to lay.
Well, I hope you all have a peaceful day. I'm gonna have some Ice-cream. I don't care that it's cold outside... I drink coffee when it's hot outside, so what's the difference?
See ya again, friend.
Ciao
