I’ve mentioned my neighbor’s basement cat before in a couple of comments. He visits a lot, but always kept his distance although he does not know the meaning of fear. I once saw a dog go for him and he just casually whacked his attacker as if he was swatting a fly. If Dots is around when BC comes by he feels it’s his dogly duty to put on a show by getting up and giving a half hearted woof, but that’s about it. I know he secretly likes BC because I’ve occasionally found them asleep together on the day bed.
It’s not only cats who steal Dot’s kibble either.
Yesterday BC actually came up to me and after sniffing my hand he let me pet him and then he plopped down nearby and had a snooze. I have to admit that I’m falling in love.
Tonight I made some soup for dinner and had just started eating when BC sauntered up. I could tell he wanted some, so I went inside to get the dog bowl and this is what I found upon my return:
I wish these photographs did him justice, because he really is a pretty boy. After taking the above photograph I was rewarded by being allowed to give lots of scritches and let me say I felt deeply honored. Cats, what more is there to say.
