Night time visitor

"Lynn, I hear someone at the door!  

So here it is at bedtime, when the lights are off and

I'm ready to call it a night.  Then Precious goes for

the front door like a streak of lightening. These photos

are taken with my camera flash, as the inside was dark.

This is Blackie, as I call him.  He lives down the road

and frequents here for making trouble, drinking bird bath

water, and eating Precious's catnip. That is why he is at the

front door, where the nippy is. Protected by a metal hardware

cloth screen and 2 two foot metal posts.  He gets all that grows

through and drips down over.

He's a very handsome fellow. Along the lines of a

pure black Maine Coon and about 6 years old. 

These 2 hiss and spit at each other, but seem to enjoy

doing it for as long as I keep the door open.  It was

cold this particular night, and I only let them visit for

5 or 6 minutes.  I am sure Precious spent a lot of

time looking out the window after I went to bed.

"And Lynn, you thought I didn't have good

ears! I heard him chewing my nippy through 2 doors.

He better have left me some."
