Morningside Park Cats Are Out of CoNtRoL

Here's another one! Sent by Jimmy. He walks by the park every day, so you can expect many more Morningside Park cats.

City Turtle

I walked to Central Park yesterday morning and noticed this turtle swimming in the Harlem Meer. It made me wonder if it had been a pet that was left behind in the pond or if turtles are a natural part of the park.

City Island Kitty

I went to City Island today and was hoping to see a city kitty. At one point I walked down a side street to see Hart Island, which is pretty interesting by the way, when I saw a flash of orange. It was a little calico babycat! She is very little and keeeeeet!!!!

Best Friends

I'm not sure if I mentioned that I have a new roommate--two new roommates actually. Jimmy and I both had to move to Harlem to be closer to work, so we decided to join financial forces to get a pretty awesome place to live.

I was pleasantly surprised when I found that Scribble and Doodle were totally cool with living with Gypsy, but Gyp Gyp has been a pretty big grump about her new catfriends for the past few weeks. Well, today they all decided that they would relax on Jimmy's bed, and it was the cutest thing ever!!!!!

Green Giant

I was walking down the street the other night when I noticed a teeeeeeny tiny little babycat in a corner store near my apartment. She is soooooo little, so I thought it was a little ironic that her name is Green Giant. Maybe they named her after the canned vegetables that they sell in the store?

City Chickens

I was walking through East Harlem earlier this evening when I saw a chicken coop under the metronorth at 117th Street! There were several chickens living there. I can't imagine that it is all that pleasant living under the train.

Seeing the chickens today reminded me that last month I saw another chicken coop in Brooklyn, somewhere maybe in Clinton Hill? I don't know that area of Brooklyn all that well. Anyway, here they are:

My Own Morningside Cat

Jimmy sees Morningside Park cats all the time, but last weekend I spotted one of my own! I guess it's not that much of an accomplishment considering how many cats live in that park.
