Yowling Cat

 My friend stopped by yesterday, on her way back to her home in WA state.

It was nice to see her.  She's got a great sense of humor. 

Just as she was about to leave, I hear a yowling outside.  I thought it was one of my cats, in the cat yard.  But one glance outside told the story.  There was a young adult all black cat near the garage, yowling like a cat in heat or like a cat looking for a cat in heat.

Wrong time of Year, I said, to a couple of my cats, staring at the yowler, through the window.

I went outside and the cat ran under my car.  Finally I set a trap, but the cat was not much interested.   He or she yowled for awhile at the garage window, like it wanted in and expected to have sex once inside.   I went over to the neighbor's for awhile and when I returned, the cat had vanished.   

I set up the game cam, but this morning, when I retrieved it, I realized it had no SD card in it.   I'd put it in the old Canon, which I dusted off to use to take bird photos.  It's LCD screen doesn't work anymore but I can still use the viewfinder.  I'm fed up with trying to use the phone for photos.

Haven't seen the kitty today.  Or rather heard the kitty.   

We're supposed to get high winds for awhile Wednesday morning, the news said.  The weather person seemed quite irritated it might come through, blow things down, cause power outages and affect travel plans, including his he added.   Great.  

Here's the yowling kitty in video.  Not a big cat.  He wasn't yowling much in this clip.

  1. I hope high winds aren't going to cause bedlam. Good luck with that new visitor. Hugs, my dear.

    1. They still do not know if that storm will materialize tomorrow. They said either it will be a severe windstorm or the models will pull back on the forecast by their 11:00 pm newscast. Lets hope the latter happens.

  2. I suppose that is proof that weather people can't do anything about the weather.

  3. I wonder where that cat came from. A neighbor's cat? Definitely time to get him fixed.

    1. My guess is a nearby neighbor. Hasn't returned that I know of.

  4. I wonder if the cat sensed the incoming weather.

    1. I'm pretty sure it has to belong to closeby neighbor as it has not returned. Probably got out and now is back inside. I'm keeping an eye out for him or her though.

    1. Well the cat was only here that one night, probably belongs to a neighbor. And the windstorm predicted for today? So far, not a whisp.
