Neighborhood Vagabond
I call him the neighborhood vagabond because he tends to prowl around the neighborhood making himself at home wherever he goes. Every now and then I'll pull into my driveway to find him relaxing on my front porch. Sometimes I see him doing the same at my neighbor's house. When I go out for a walk, I might see him down the street lounging on someone else's walk. He does get around. He's never wanted to come inside. In fact if I open the door, he packs up and leaves. Aloof would be a good word to describe him.
I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns today. I'm showing a small slice of my summer weekend in California.
Look at that face! I think he's a private cop - a sort of neighborhood watch cat! And he takes his job seriously! Nice portrait!
ReplyDeleteHe is full of character!
ReplyDeleteActually he looks pretty serious.

ReplyDeleteWe have two and aloof is good word choice. I wouldn't mess with this cat though. He{?} looks like he could mean business. I can 'read' cat faces... sort of a cat whisperer. hehehehehe
ReplyDeleteOn Julie's Scottsdale Daily Photo site today you will see something that cats have to watch for in our neighborhood, which is perhaps why we rarely encounter an outdoor cat -- coyotes.
ReplyDeleteHe certainly has a serious face. You've really done his portrait well here!
ReplyDeleteIf he survives in the outdoors he must be street smart. It sounds like he's an independent kind of guy. I must say he is interesting looking.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty kitty and he looks well cared for!
ReplyDeleteHe looks like quite a character. I'm assuming he's got a home of his own, but probably considers the whole area to be his stomping grounds.
ReplyDeleteHe looks like no one would dare to give him a hard time! Good one, Sharon.
ReplyDeleteI love black and white felines. The only cat I ever had looked much like this but with longer hair.
ReplyDeleteOh, those regal eyes! That is a cat accustomed to doing what it wants.
ReplyDeleteOh my what a look :) He's wonderful Sharon, king of his neighborhood that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteHe's a handsome guy. Looks like he takes things pretty seriously!
ReplyDeleteWhat a totally self-confident face!!
