This kitty recently started hanging out on our patio, wanting attention and appearing to be very hungry and exhausted. He's an older cat, seemed to have very squinty eyes (he kept them nearly closed most of the time and when he finally opened them, I was surprised to see they were blue), and I noticed he was fixed, so we were wondering where he'd come from and who he belonged to. It turned out several of the neighbors had fed him as well. We were considering making up Found Cat sign, for which I took this picture. Later, we were talking to the newer neighbors across the street (the ones whose daughter owned the pink Camero); they told us he had belonged to the mom's sister who had passed away a month or two before - she had been in hospice care at their home. After she died, they decided to take care of her cat. However, the kids are allergic, so he's not allowed in the house. He's been an indoor cat all his life and he's 15 years old. Doesn't seem right to me. So he's welcome to hang out on the patio.

We also went back to the Youth Expo as

runsamuck hadn't gone the day before. Everyone tried out the wall climbing...I knew Avalon would be good at it, but then she said she didn't want to go too high...
