    It’s all happening here this morning. We’ve survived an attempted invasion from Next Door’s Cat. She came into the backyard and Looked at us through the back door.

    Luckily Tommy the brave resident GuardCat was on the job and dealt with the situation by crying loudly and pathetically.

    I banged on the door, and went out and shooed her back over the fence. And then congratulated my brave hero on scaring away the intruder. He would definitely survive in the wild.

      Beautiful burnt sienna boy! Look at that terracotta nose… Yes, hate those pesky wandering invader cats setting off homecat alarm bells 😔

      The cat I’m looking after has a frenemy/outside invader who’s almost a doppelganger for her - just about 20% slimmer and with much more of an attitude. I nearly panicked yesterday when I came home and saw frenemy coolly hanging around the front door - thought the indoor cat had escaped and also miraculously lost a bit of chub in a couple of hours.

      This cat simply is anxious most of the time, instead of even pathetically meowing. If I let her have supervised outdoor time she is almost scared of stepping on grass. 100% born to be wild.
