Ahoy Matey, Foreign Fur

 "Fe Fi Fo Fum,  I smell the furs of a fureiner.  Lynn why do yer legs smell funny."






I have seen this young cat on the bike path a few times this
year.  It is always in close proximity to a nice house that
has 3 horses and a small stable.  No idea if it is a barn cat
or just one that was born close enough to stay around.
  
I didn't give much thought to it rubbing all over my legs
until I biked away.  Once I got off a ways I wondered about
the chance of getting poison ivy from it's fur.  I took my
drinking water and a paper towel I carry and washed off
as best as I could.  Never did get poison ivy, thank goodness.



"I would have loved to scratch your itchies with my
sharp claws if you'da got poison ivy, Lynn.  I really
could have dug in deep and maybe made it bleed
out the poison."

Precious and I want to give Willie an early
"Happy Birthday" wish.  He will turn 39 on 
September 21,  forever young.






"I got invited aboard the Big Ship Lollypop!
I'm gonna cook fur the Pirates."







Thank you for stopping by for a visit and a comment.
It is much appreciated.

Precious, your human has a very friendly and sweet neighbour. Glad she didn't pick up poison ivy!!

You are simply DIVINE as a pirate!!! ๐Ÿด‍☠️

There are plenty of strokes and tummy rubs to go round, Precious. Maybe the cat Lynn met doesn't have as many as you.

Such a fun post, you make a wonderful Pirate sweet Precious! Happy Birthday to Willie!

Katie Isabella said...

That is a picture of a very VERY loving kitty. He certainly sees you as a possible friend. I would imagine if that had been my mom she's STILL be there, poor thing. She is a pushover for cats.

Our Mom is super allergic to poison ivy. Glad Lynn didn't get it. Ye be a fine pirate!

Precious! Your Peep has made a new Furrend! And I gotta tell you that she will be coming home with THAT CAT's smells more often!
And we want to THANK YOU for all your help on our Pirate adventure this week. We could not have done it without your sardine soufflรฉs and tuna tacos and your sardine a stew that revealed the hidden paths to the treasure! Keep being AWESOME!

It seems that humans are terribly prone to such acts of betrayal...

Fureigner is right, Precious. He just wanted to greet a visitor to his strange land. And you deserve your own ship on which to be chief cook and bottler washer, and everything else, Precious.

Happy Birthday to Wilie! That is a cute kitty, glad you didn't get poison ivy. I wish everyone would keep their cats inside for their safety. Brody sends his love to Precious. XO

My Mind's Eye said...

Oh Precious....how dare that trail cat try to entice your Lynn ...to be traitor. It was a cutie though. Maybe it is a pet to the horses.

Thankful Lynn did not get Poison Ivy...never had it but I have heard it is miserable
The kids had an event to attend this afternoon. TV Chef Alton Brown is giving a seminar on NCSU campus. They both like him.
Hugs Cecilia

PS happy birthday Willile

Memories of Eric and Flynn said...

That is a sweet friendly kitty, but not as sweet as you, Precious! You make a good pirate. Happy birthday to Willie!

Julie said...

Gosh that was a very friendly cat Lynn - he/she seemed very social & happy to be rubbing against your legs. I am not familiar with Poison Ivy (by that I mean I've heard of it as a plant but not as something we can contract ourselves). Lucky you remembered to wash off your legs.
Precious I think you may a purrfect pirate but I am not sure you would want to be sailing the high seas! I think you have much better comforts at home with treats & leg time. Wishing you both a great weekend - it is lovely outside today & I need to mow lawns but Oh My it is chilly inside. I have lit the fire as I am getting "the look" from Madam Pip. x0x0x

That's one cute fureiner!

Precious doesn't like interlopers!

Chaplin: "Humans! They think nothing of paying attention to other animals when they go out, and then they get all upset when we don't feel like sitting in their laps whenever they want us to. Double-standard much?"

messymimi said...

That's a beautiful marbled tabby. I hope it belongs to the owner of the barn and simply likes to make friends.

messymimi said...

And thank you for linking up with Feline Friday!

Mary Kirkland said...

I'm glad you didn't get poison ivy or anything like that. I had poison oak one time. That was enough. That cat is cute. But so is Precious.

WILLIE...! =(^..^)= said...

Just to say a quick Thankyou to everyone, for my
Burfday greetings...
Thankyou Lynn..Thankyou Precious...Just had breakfast,
sun's shining very brightly, and it's quite warm, text's
and e~mails coming through...Goodness! HeHe! Bless! :O).

Duke said...

We had a barn cat, years ago, and we named him Barney and he looked very similar. Happy Birthday, Willie!

What a splendid Pirate you make, Precious.

I'm gonna be on the Christmas tree!
