Visitors

So I had quite interesting visitor last weekend.
First I have to give some background. There is a cat in my neighborhood that is blind in one eye. It has no collar so I thought it is stray cat. It turned out that it is owned by one of the students.
Anyway, I started to give her water and some food before I figured out that wee girl just likes to pick where the food is tastier... (It is female according to my husband. I have not clue myself. ) And I referred to her as "Schrody" simply because it was uncertain is this my cat or not.

So Schrody likes to visit me sometimes for some treats and petting.

Last weekend a kitten appeared. At first I thought it is Schrody's offspring. Very loud orange kitten. Again, according to my husband most likely a wee tomcat. Seems like that orange cats are almost always tomcats. And in case of this little fella, it is quite obvious that my hubby is spot on.
So, this sunday, when I opened my door I got visitors. Schrody got in, and this wee orange tomcat was following her. I know that you cannot see it here, but orange tomcat "Garfield" is half size of Schrody. And apparently just got into puberty with hormones raging. He was following Schrody all the time while she was constantly hissing at him. Garfield have a collar so he ended up with his rightful owner that evening.
But boy, he was fun visitor. I was able to play with him, grabbing him and carrying him around. He was used to similar treatment from humans. Even worse one, because he was smelling nicely on some shampoo.  Cats usually do not like to be treated roughly or played with in a way they do not like. But this little fella was just to busy with his romantic pursuits to pay any attention on what I'm doing with him.
It was fun watching him chasing Schrody and loudly demanding from me and all other neighbors to stop hiding her. :-)
For me, it was a lovely way to keep my mind of the work and finally have a relaxing day.
