They come in all colors, shapes, and sizes. 
They roam, they play, and they snooze. Some are friendly and show up for a little petting, others visit primarily to escape the chaos at their own homes–children, other pets, and all. They come to sip from our birdbath and to watch the birds. And simply to be without being disturbed. They are our neighborhood cats.
Our indoor cats and I watch them through
the windows. I talk to them when I’m puttering in the yard and I admire them 
when I’m out and about for a walk or to run an errand on foot.
And sometimes I take their pictures
