Dear Black and White Neighbor Kitty (henceforth named “Scout”),
I must say, you really made my day when I glanced out my living room window and saw your little black and white face poking up from the barn roof today.
Like most kitties you are very curious and this is not the first time I have seen you on top of the roof of the barn scouting out your territory.
No doubt you were investigating all of those noisy birds that are busy making their nests in the trees below and calculating how long it will be before those eggs are laid. As I am sure you know, the eggs themselves would make a tasty meal, but if you wait for them to hatch, those naked defenseless baby birds would be, by far, a more filling treat.
As I stood at my window attempting to take your picture, you appeared to get camera-shy and ducked away. But something told me you had not gone far and my patience was rewarded when you peeked up again after a few minutes.
Though you appeared to look directly at me so that I could take your picture, I imagine my three kitties that were also at the window with me were what caught your attention. And I must say that for the first time in weeks I was glad that I couldn’t go out on the balcony, because I probably would have scared you away like I did last time you were on the barn roof.
I hope you return in the future to brighten my days, but please, do be careful. Barn roofs are very tall and can be dangerous for even the most sure-footed kitty.
Your friend,
Renée, the blondelibrarian
