One of our 'next door' cats is here. Big Red.


An orange tabby.

We have two next door dogs and two next door cats.
Simon is a tuxedo cat with a 90 degree bend in his tail.
We are told it happened 'in utero'.

Penney is a mini pincer wannabe.
Chloe is a mini dachshund who is a bit long legged to make the grade.

Next Door Pets are great.
No vet bills.
No litter boxes.
No (well, not much) feeding.

They just come over and hang out.

Our neighbors' cats just don't do that around here...

Sometimes I see them, prowling around outside, but if I say hello, they get spooked and run off.



Enjoy the kitties and doggies hanging out!

We've kept them while our neighbors were away.
Penney has slept in my bed.
With me!
And then barks at me when I get up in the morning.
I think she's brain damaged.

Maybe she doesn't recognize you when she first wakes up.

...anytime the neighbors would scold him the little guy would just dart out of the house and over to my parents' place where he figured he'd get better treatment.

He loves to visit folks. I assume they feed him. He is huge. Friendly guy.
