I left the house today. Kitten Thunder didn’t approve.
***
The other evening, Obi and I were looking for millers through the front screen door. A beige cat appeared on our front sidewalk.
I looked down at Obi. He was interested in the other cat but not really concerned.
The cat moved down our walk toward the sidewalk. Then we heard the approach of a brother.
Uh oh.
Before I could react, Obi spun away from the door and walked nonchalantly toward his brother. He tackled Oliver and licked his face.
Nothing interesting outside. Nothing at all.
And the beige kitten disappeared down the sidewalk, out of sight by the time Oliver shook off his brother and got to the door.
Obi and I made eye contact. Close call.
