Neighbors

I don't know, I must be softening in my old age.  Sure, I'm okay with occasionally highlighting family members' feline companions, but now I find myself sharing non-family kitties.  Mom and dad have been caring for a vacationing neighbor's barn cat named Val, a tabby & white youngster who has full command of a barn up behind us. 


Now, as a Tortie, I have my own special way of showing love and stuff, but I've overheard mom and dad talking about what a snuggly cat this Val is.  On more than one occasion I've also heard sentence enders like, "but we wouldn't trade you for the world" and whatnot, so I guess I have nothing to worry about.  I guess. 

Anyway, that there lady barn cat is Val.

Hi Val.

Bye Val.

Cleo, I'm sure that Kitty has a very hard job taking care of a big barn all by its lonesome. It probably is enjoying the company of your dad and mom temporarily while it's on its own. I see she took full advantage of your dad's shoulder for a show-off photo. But that's okay because we know that you are more beautiful. And you prefer a lap instead of a shoulder.

No worries, Cleo!
Your humans are yours furever; no cute, cuddly barn cat is going to usurp your position.

Cleo,
Val she is a beauty such pretty markings.
Thank goodness you don't have thumbs so you cannot see that Val is riding on your Dad's shoulders

Don't worry Cleo. There's plenty of love to go around and your peeps would never trade you for any other kitty.

Have a purrfect day. My best to your peeps. ♥

I feel bad Yal is a barn cat. I bet she would love to be a house cat. She is beautiful, almost as beautiful as you are Cleo. XO

You've got nothing to worry about sweet Cleo, ever. It's nice they are looking after Yal though!

Must be nice to have a barn all of your own to live in.

Val is a furry pretty kitty. It seems se has quite the job too.

As long as she stays in the barn, you're all good Cleo. The mom and dad bean have to come home to sleep sometime, right?

I figure it's okay if the humans take care of other cats and even say how nice they are...as long as they don't bring them home! ~Ernie

Val is a pretty girl but I am sure she is happy being a barn cat with lots of responsibility. Think of all those mice she must catch! Your mom and dad will always come home to you, even if your dad does let her ride on his shoulders.

Pretty cheeky of her to hitch a ride on your dad, Cleo!

Well, Yal is nice and all, but she is most definitely not the one and only Queen Cleo. Just saying!

Eileen said...

Hi and thanks. =^..^=

Leah said...

No worries at all for you, Cleo, I'm sure! It's nice of your Mom and Dad to look after Val while the neighbors are away!

Val does sound like a sweetheart.

Charlee: "I bet it's fun to have your own barn to manage. I would keep mine well-stocked with mice!"

You will never be supplanted, beautiful Cleo. Yet I think our human hearts are more roomy than you think. ;)
