Neutered Neighbor

My block sure does have a lot of black cats; they must all be related. Here is another one that I saw this morning. I could tell he was neutered because of the clip in his ear. I guess someone wants the Bensonhurst Black Cat legacy to end.

City Kitty Sticker

Suzy and I were on Houston Street near Lafayette yesterday and saw this sticker graffiti of a cat that says "City Kitty". I couldn't believe it! Suzy said that this cat should be my logo, but I'm sure that the artist would not approve of my appropriation of his/her artwork without his/her permission. Also, this city kitty is a little hardcore for my taste. I prefer my city kitties a bit more cute and cuddly.

Annoying Neighbor Cat

About a week ago I started hearing very disturbing noises coming from outside. (The heat is on full-blast in  my apartment, so at least one window is always open.) At first it really upset me, thinking that someone was hurting a cat, but then my friend Heidi told me that cats in heat often make horrible noises.

I heard the cat cries again today, looked down from my window and there was the cuprit. I've had plenty of annoying neighbors before, but none of them were cats! I guess there is a first time for everything.

Panther

I went to a bike shop in my neighborhood to pick up a Presta-to-Schraeder adapter and saw this kitty! His name is Panther, and I think that the somewhat-gruff (although helpful) men who worked there were amused when I asked to take his picture.

Tiger, a.k.a. Skittish Cat

I'm cat-sitting for my friend Eva this week (you might remember Claudius), and I was waiting for the bus to get to her apartment when this little orange cat sauntered out of it's discount store and hid behind some granny carts. I tried to get its picture and it came out and rubbed on my leg, then ran back into the store. Unfortunately, I only got a picture of its butt.

UPDATE: I went to this store this evening and saw the little cat again. It turns out that her name is Tiger (not Skittish Cat), but she is still skittish as ever.

Kitty Prints

I know they are hard to see in this picture, but I ran across these prints in the sidewalk last night in Park Slope. Hopefully wet cement didn't stick to the kitty's paws!

Crazy Christmas Cat

I saw this cat this morning on my block running toward a house that is all decked out for the holidays. It took a very photogenic seat at the base of an oversized nutcracker. This is kind of like a "Where's Waldo." See if you can find the kitty in the picture!
