Arrival Story:
I live in the neighborhood around the house of the human who put this page up. One day, a friend cat of mine, a handsome tom, told me that these humans in the green house feed cats on their back porch, and I went over with him to see if it really was true. It was, and I was so happy to have a steady food supply! The she who put the food out named me Shadow, because I am so skittish. At first I was afraid that she would chase me away, and then her he came out and I thought he was going to chase me away because he came after me in his big boots, but he spoke in a soft voice telling me it was alright. He was just going downstairs with towels, so I watched him and then went back to eating. Now (late April 2007), after about two months of hanging around, I'm not so skittish and wait on the steps for my food to be put outside. I even let the she touch me a couple times, and I meow at all the humans.

Shadow's Meows


Interlopers!


October 28th 2008 1:00 pm   [link to this entry]

I thought these new ones would be gone soon, so I didn't think much of sharing the porch with them. But now it seems they're here for good! They eat from MY food bowl, drink from MY water bowl, and barge in when it's MY turn to be on the porch! Mommy lets them inside and pets them, so I guess they're ok, but they can be annoying. She calls the little ones Baby Chiba, Fluffy Girl, and Smokey, and the mama one Mama Chiba. I tolerate them, but I also have to show them who's boss. I've hissed, swatted, told them off, but still they keep coming back! I don't mind when the other ferals eat there, hey, we all have to have a food source, but these other ones have another home. Why do they need to eat here?


A close call!!!


February 11th 2008 11:37 pm   [link to this entry]

Spongebob and I had a close call on Friday! Karen was just leaving the house, and we were across the street. Of course, we came running to say hi, and I rolled over on the street because I was so happy! :) We got to the other side of the street after greeting her, then realized she wasn't following. A truck was a couple houses away, but Spongebob knew he had time to get back across before it got there. I didn't look (! I usually always look!), just followed along behind Spongebob, and Karen shouted and waved. Luckily, the lady driving the truck was paying attention and slowed down, but it was too close and shook up all involved. Karen made sure to call Scott and watched while he put food out and we went and ate. Karen called us goofs for almost getting hit! I'm so glad she was there to protect us! *shudders*

Two paws inside!


June 19th 2007 12:41 am   [link to this entry]

Two days late writing this entry because Mommy hasn't had time to be meowed to until now.

I went two paws inside! :) Houses are scary, but I think it'll be ok. The cat who flew at me before, Skylar, was coming to see me as I was thinking about coming inside, so Erin put him into another room and closed the door. I looked around, just to make sure he was gone, then cautiously put one paw over the doorframe. I looked up at Erin to see if this was ok to do, then put my other front paw inside. Uh oh! Black and white cat alert! I thought it was Skylar, and ran back outside, but my nose told me it was another cat who just looked like Skylar. I haven't officially met this other cat, so I was being safe and ran. Erin told Mommy and Daddy, and they all are so proud of me for adventuring in!
