Do you enjoy having neighborhood cats visit your yard? Do you greet random cats you meet while out walking or visiting in your neighborhood? Are there 
cats you particularly like to watch outside your windows? And what about those cats that sort of hang around while you garden or putter in your yard?
Not only do I enjoy sharing my yard with cats, I’ll stop at a window and watch them roll around on the warm pavement on a sunny day, I talk to cats I meet while out walking, and I photograph them, if they’ll let me. Here are a few I’ve photographed lately.
I don’t like to see cats roaming in our neighborhood. They don’t last long because we have a very active owl, hawk, and coyote population. I do see a lot of “Lost Cat” posters. And the rare injured cat limping around. I just wish people would keep their pets indoors.
I sure do agree with you on that point. While I enjoy the cats, I do worry about them. We have owls and we see an occasional coyote wandering around in the neighborhood. And yes, there are always cat-missing posters around. Yet, there’s the mentality that cats should be allowed to go out. And there’s the occasional cat that just can’t stand to be a total indoor cat. I’ve had one of those. But our last 6 cats or so were happily indoor only cats and so is Olivia.
