nosey neighbour cat

So I walk into the kitchen the other morning, looking for a snack or something - maybe some Party Mix...  maybe some Treat Temptations...  maybe a dish of cream...  whatever might tempt my taste buds at the moment - and I sense something is amiss.  At first, I couldn't quite place my paw on it.  Everything appeared to be in order but you know how it is....  appearances can be deceiving.

After my snack, I hopped up onto the kitchen table.  Thought I make take a little nap and since the daily paper was still lying there, what better place to nap? Of course, had the paper been open with a peep in the process of reading it, well...  that would have been a better napping spot.  But a folded up newspaper is still a pretty comfy thing.

I was just settling in on the newspaper, doing my three revolutions before curling up into a little ball move, when I stopped mid-turn.  I don't know what made me do it but at that very moment, I looked up at the top of the refrigerator and what did my eyes see?  Why, there was nosey neighbour cat!  He was on my fridge in MY kitchen!  I ask you, just what is this world coming to?

Nosey neighbour cat visits quite a bit.  Usually we try to keep him on the outside of the house but he knows where all the entrances are.  You never know when he might just wander in.   It's not like we cats can keep watch of every door all the time.  We try but we've got napping and snacking and other important stuff to do.  Usually the big doors are closed when there isn't a peep on guard duty but there are a couple of windows that peeps leave open for us during the day.  They're way too small for any peeps to use but we cats can go through them easily enough.  Even my brother Rushton can fit through them and he's a pretty big boy.  And apparently, so can nosey neighbour cat.

My peep says I shouldn't complain 'cause she's pretty sure my sister Tess visits nosey neighbour cat's house a lot.  Tess really likes nosey neighbour cat's mom.  Darn that cat's mom for being so nice to Tess, making her like her and all.  I don't know if Tess has ever gone into his house but she probably would if she could.  And remember, my sister Tess has some magical door opening abilities so you never know, maybe she has been inside nosey neighbour cat's house.  Double darn that sister of mine for having those magical abilities!

And you know something?  This wasn't the first time nosey neighbour cat was caught making himself at home in my house.  One day, peep #1 found him sitting downstairs happily munching on a bag of cat food which he had managed to tear open all by himself.  When I heard about this, I was appalled.  The peep just laughed.  She thought it was funny.  Peeps have such strange senses of humour, do they not?

Oh my gosh!  As God as my witness...  as I sit here working on this post...  here comes nosey neighbour cat a-trottin' down my driveway.  What can I say?  I do believe I am speechless.

  2. Sounds like you have a very busy house hold with all the neighbors just letting themselves in and out. As long as they eventually go out, you are OK. That is too cute. Have a super Sunday

  6. OMC! If that happened here, goddess forbid, blood would be shed. The introoder's, ours....The mom shudders at the thought.

    Your neighbour cat is rather bold and rude, yes? At least you all would seem to get along well enough, though!

  7. Gasp! Of all the nerve. Hasn't he learned the rules yet of being a good neighbor - we don't go into other houses unless invited! I'm thinking your neighborhood is pretty kitty friendly!!

  8. LOL!! We have the same thing happen here. Basil, Amber and Snowie hate it when we get 'Invaded!'

    Just make sure he doesn't get in your bed!

  14. WOW!! That neighbour cat is pretty brazen ;)
    We were amazed at the part where he helped himself to a bag of kibble!!! We were surprised that you guys did not rip it open,heehee
    Maybe you should take a trip to his house ;)

  18. There's no way we'd ever let a neighbor cat in here...nosey or not!

  20. OMC! Well, what did you DO to him? I mean, aren't there like a DOZEN of you??? Of course with so many, are your really SURE that kitty doesn't actually LIVE with you? Ha ha ha! He looks pretty happy there.

    1. Nothing! Peeps get annoyed if we fight. Hmmph! He definitely does NOT live here. He's got a very good home across the street but seems to like hanging out with us, I guess. Although, we don't REALLY get along...

  21. Well isn't that something...I think I might have had a bird if that had happened to me. Good on ya for keeping your composure! (PS: The nosey neighbour is rather good lookin' not that I'm biased or anything...)

  22. Glad to hear there's no fighting. Use your sounds and gestures rather than tooths and claws. I bet nosey neighbor kitty comes and visits cause you all are so cool and have good stuffs. you should be proud that kitties wanna come visit your place.

  25. Of all the nerve! On top of your refrigerator? Ripping open a bag of cat food? My goodness....this guy's askin' for it! I know we're supposed to be gracious and "any cat in need" open-hearted and stuff but there's a line and that guy's crossing it. I suppose as long as he just visits and doesn't try to TAKE OVER, it could be bearable. You're being VERY patient. VERY.

    Kitty Hugs, Sammy

  26. Oh goodness. The nerve of the neighbor cat! To saunter right in as if the house belonged to HIM. And to even tear open YOUR bag of food. He sure is one cheeky fella!

  27. Wow, cats going from house to house... that's like having Halloween every day!

  28. What the heck? What kind of an establishment are your humans running over there?

  29. You need to teach nosy neighbor cat a thing or 2! Our neighbor's cat came into our apartment a few times and I must say I really liked his visits. He moved so I don't get visitors anymore.

  30. The nerve of that neighbor cat! Wow. We'd be appalled too.

  33. It does not sound like your peeps or his peeps are helping you out any! I would not like a strange dog or cat in my house, I would be unhappy.
