JUST A VISIT TODAY

Early this morning, I peeked out the bathroom window (overlooks the back porch) and saw Torbie Sue on the porch again. She looked up at me when I called her name.

I went to the back door and called her name again. She looked at me , and again I got some food ready for her. When I got around back, she was gone.

This time she stopped by only for a visit. Apparently, she wasn't hungry. Her owners must have fed her good this time. All in all, it felt good that she came by to see me.

It was an unseasonably warm weekend and that's why I saw her two days in a row.

I still have new photos of her to load up and was going to do that yesterday. Unfortunately, the camera batteries were dead and I didn't have time to recharge them until now. Tonight, the pics will be added.

A PURRLEASANT SURPRISE!

I'm baaaaaaaaaack!

My Mommy on the side, found me sunbathing on the back porch early this afternoon. Before I saw her, I saw the BIG PANTHER BOY, staring out the door at me. I paid him no mind and stayed.

Eventually, she came around back with a whole can of beef and liver Fancy Feast and some dry stuff. I ate all of it! Every bit!

And of course, I thanked her by letting her pet me. I rubbed many times on her legs. I also let her photograph me a bunch of times.

I missed everycat so much. I'm doing fine and feel great! My ruff is still long too. I've been inside during the nasty weather we've been having. Today is the first warm spell on a weekend that I was let outside. I love the outdoors when it's warm.

The sun felt great on me as I laid on the lady's porch and while I was on the ground getting my pic taken. Before she went back inside, she told me she loves me (even if I belong to somebody else). I said "MAA" in response and rubbed against her leg. She told me she hopes to see me again tomorrow because it's going to be another warm day.

I thanked her for the food. I also stayed for a bit after she went back inside.

Purrs,

Torbie Sue

NOTE: I was very happy to see Torbie Sue stretched out on he back porch early this afternoon. She looked up at me and didn't run. I showed her the bag of dry food and a can. She understood and waited for me to come around back. I go out the front door and go to the back yard because she runs away if I exit the back door. I think she's afraid of my other cats. Anyway, I hope to see her again tomorrow.

I took some really beautiful pics of her and plan on adding them some time this weekend.

A WARM DAY AND STILL NO TORBIE SUE

About two hours ago, I took the garbage out I noticed that it was a very warm day.

It's supposed to go up to 52 degrees or so. Anyway, I thought maybe I'd see Torbie Sue today, if at all.

Nope. Another kitty did appear on our back porch around lunchtime. It was the moocher who lives two doors down; the gray and white tabby with the raccoon-like tail.

When I saw all my boys peeking out the kitchen windows and going nuts, I thought they saw Torbie Sue.

Anyway, there's still some time left to the afternoon. When she appeared in the afternoons on a Sunday, it was usually between 2:30 and 3:00.

Later for now,

Barb

FURTHER UPDATE

I still haven't seen Torbie Sue. It's been a long time now. Today was the first warm day all month and I had to work.

Also, there are two houses in the neighborhood with "for sale" signs on the front lawns. No telling Torbie Sue's owners lived in one of those houses.

All in all, I miss seeing her.

Later.

NO TORBIE SUE FOR QUITE SOME TIME

It's been several weeks since I've seen Torbie Sue. The weather also hasn't been the best, and of course, there were the holidays.

I suppose she's inside keeping nice and warm on a cozy bed somewhere. I surely hope so.

UPDATE ON TORBIE SUE

I've been off from work all week and haven't seen Torbie Sue around because it has been brutally cold. Today is the first warm day (upper 40's).

I pray that she's inside her home during this nasty weather. Also, if I don't see her when it's warm outside, I speculate she's on a 'staycation".

I wish her a merry Christmas.

OMC, I'M DIARY PICK!!

Thank you Catster for picking me as one of today's Diary Picks! WOO-HOO! I really appreciate the honor and fame!

I also thank little PORKCHOP for the cool (pardon the pun) snowman!

I had a great time last weekend when I stopped by. Also, my "Mommy on the side" was given the authority to give out thank you's if I ever get Diary Pick. She told me that she has the whole Christmas week off so if I stop by, she'll be able to see me more than on weekends.

My new photos will be loaded onto my page this weekend. They will show that my winter coat is thicker now (my ruff is very full like that of a Norwegian Forest Cat). I stay outside a lot (except when it's too cold, snowy or wet).

Anyway, I wish everycat and their furmilies a very MEOWY CATMAS & a PURRY MEW YEAR!!

Love, Meeps & Purrs,

Torbie Sue

ADDITIONAL THANK YOU'S:

SAMOA & FAMILY - lovely snowflake;
KARISMA & FAMILY - lovely snowflake

GREETINGS, MY FURIENDS!

I stopped by today for a brief visit. I was spotted first, by the BIG panther boy who lives with my second Mommy. She eventually came to the door and saw me jump onto the porch chair. She held up a can of cat food and pointed at it. I gave her the look, "hurry up, I'm really hungry today".

In no time, she came out with some Fancy Feast Turkey Florentine. I ate the whole can and was still hungry. Therefore, she went back inside and brought out some dry stuff for me. I ate all of that too.

When I was done, I rubbed against her legs (my way of saying thank you).

She also picked me up and gave me a little kiss on the side of my head. Don't worry, I'm a very clean kitty. I'm also a gentle kitty. I've never bitten or scratched her.

Anyway, she took about five new pics of me standing in the fallen leaves. Those will be added to my page some time this week.

Lastly, I plan on stopping by on Saturday or Sunday. That seems the best time for me to get a handout during this time of year.

I hope everycat is getting ready for Catmas.

Purrs to all,

Torbie Sue

UPDATE

Torbie Sue stopped by early yesterday morning. I saw her crouched under the lounge chair (yes, the same one Yingy used to favor) on the back porch.

Bail sat on his foot stool and looked at her. I called to her, and she was off and running. She never stays on the porch once she sees or hears me. This is when she's skittish. I think she knows Cammie Rose is inside and she's afraid of her.

Anyway, I peeked out the living room window to see if she stopped in the neighbor's front yard. She was not there.

I suppose she stopped by to see if any food was left on the back porch.

I feel she may stop by on Sunday afternoon. The temperature should be warmer than tomorrow or Saturday.

Later.

I STOPPED BY YESTERDAY

I was on the back porch again yesterday morning some time around 8:40 a.m.

I saw my part time Mommy come to the door. As usual, I ran down the porch steps and headed toward the neighbor's house.

When I saw some times Mommy in her front yard, I meoooooooooowed for a long time. She asked me if I wanted something to eat, and I told her I did.

She went inside and came back with some food for me. While I was eating, she pet and talked to me.

I told her I had a good Thanksgiving at home and that I'm doing fine.

I hope all my friends had a good Thanksgiving too.

I also understand from my part time Mommy that she added Christmas pics to my page. Sometimes I wish I could come inside and see them. We have an agreement here, though. She won't let me inside as she believes I belong to somebody else in the neighborhood. She'll talk to me, pet me, and feed me whenever I stop by. She also said I'm welcome to come by anytime to say "hi".

Well that's about it from me. I doubt that I'll stop by on Sunday as it's supposed to rain all day long.

Purrs & Breeps to all.

Torbie Sue
