ok LAST thing.

this is my new stray cat. i call him eduardo. i have never seen him before and then last week he was just there. he might not be a stray because he seems too clean and he's not skinny at all. but he has no collar. wouldn't you throw a collar on your cat if you were going to let him out in the city? maybe he's chipped (thats such a milennium thing to say). but still, even if he was chipped you wouldn't want any neighborhood crooney (me, hahaha!) to just think your cat is available.

anyways, he's been hanging out on my back deck, lounging under my deck table or under my grill. i fed him shai (pronounced shy) kitty's food a few times so when i came out my back door he was all meeooooowwww! but shai kitty, fragile kitty that he is, is on perscription food and i can't be giving that shit out. so i went to cala and got eduardo some over the counter food and he's happy.

shai kitty is an indoor cat. i have him trained tho, so that when i have my back door open that he doesn't go running out. instead, if he gets excited and wants to look outside (at eduardo, say) instead of running to the wide open door he jumps to the window RIGHT NEXT to the wide open door. which just makes me laugh. poor guy. when i am outside playing with eduardo and i look up to the window there is shai-boy with his little kitty face all pressed to the screen. its like he's the bubble boy. (see pic above).

this morning i got woken up at 6:18am by shai excitedly running over the bed. seems that eudardo was now protecting his new found deck space from the "other" stray kitty in the area. (who incidentally was outside right at this moment and i almost had a pic! but OSK (other stray kitty) is really skittish and runs away very easily). anwyays, shai was all excited. its like a little kitty triumverate in my backyard.
