Here kitty kitty kitty

There's something visiting my backyard.

We built our house last year and haven't been able to put the grass in yet. As a result, the weeds are growing in the dirt...and they are growing high.

I am not a cat person, and I don't know much about cats, but I'm assuming that cats like to play in tall grass and the like?


This is the neighbor's cat. I think it's a she, but I'm not entirely sure. So, for the sake of this entry, kitty will be a 'she'.

She has been visiting everytime she gets out of her house, I think. Kitty enjoys it in our backyard. I much rather have her backyard -- her grass has already been put down, and her garage has already been put up.

She skulks in the grass. She also seems to like to play ninja and pounce on butterflies and grasshoppers. I'm sure she's done at least one evasive roll.

And when she realizes that I'm watching, she'll sit and start meowing at me.

"Meow meow meow meow meow"*

Then she gets fed up and leaves.

Then she comes back a couple of minutes later to play ninja some more.

She drives Milo and Daisey crazy.

*Translation: "Hey! You! What you lookin' at? You wanna fight?! Don't make get all ninja on your butt!"

ETA: Just found out Kitty's name is Oscar. So kitty is a boy. My bad.
