every neighbourhood has one


Every neighbourhood has one.  Yup, every neighbourhood has one, for sure.  Every neighbourhood has...


What?  What's that, Peepers?  What's that you're babblin' on about now?


NO.  No, every neighbourhood does not have a troublemaker, as you suggest.


On the other paw, every neighbourhood probably does have a troublemaker.  In fact, I think it's a safe bet our neighbourhood has one, too.  At least one.  Probably more.  Probably more like...


What?


WHAT'S THAT,  PEEPERS?


WHAT'S THAT YOU'RE BABBLIN' ON ABOUT NOW?


NO!  No, I am not the the troublemaker of this here hood.


But I can think of someone who is.


MOUSES!


No, Peepers.  NO.  I am not makin' derogatory remarks 'bout my brother Saffron.  I am not suggestin' he might be our neighbourhood's troublemaker.  Actually...


Actually...


Actually, I was thinkin' about you.


MOUSES!


But enough of that nonsense, and back to what I was talkin' about before.  Every neighbourhood has...


Are you listenin'?


Every neighbourhood has a party house, for sure.


MOUSES!


And to tell you the truth, the party house in my neighbourhood is MY house, I do believe.


That's right, my friends.  The party house in my neighbourhood belongs to yours truly.  To me!


No, Peepers isn't up late at night blastin' rock music and stuff.  In fact, she would be pretty disapprovin' of behaviour like that.  And to tell you the truth...


To tell you the truth, this here house isn't that kinda party house, at all.  No, this here house is actually a kitty cat party house.  Yup, this here house is a party house for cats.


MOUSES!


It's true!  It's always been that way.  My house is the house to which all the neighbourhood cats gravitate.  My house is where every cat wants to be.  My house is the house where cats wanna hang out with...


WITH ME!


MOUSES!


Yup, the other mornin', the neighbours' cat was sittin' up on the window ledge lookin' into our livin' room.  Not the first time he's done that.  Wasn't the last, either, as he was up there again this mornin', in fact, and will most likely be there in future mornings, as well.  


Peepers thinks the reason my house is the neighbourhood kitty cat party house is on account of her - poor delusional soul - but I know better.  I know that my house is the kitty cat party house on account of ME.   On account of all the cats in the neighbourhood wantin' to hang out with yours truly here, and hear me talk 'bout the life I lead as a world-famous bloggin' kitty, and other super duper important stuff like that, and...


Although on the other paw...


On the other paw, maybe my house is the kitty cat party house 'cause there's always a lot of catnip around.


That, and the fact that  I'm usually willin' to share.


MOUSES!


Peepers, get out of my stash right now.  I may be willin' to share with the neighbourhood cats, but the nip is off limits to peeps.  You want catnip, you're gonna have to grow some yourself.


MOUSES!

  1. I'm pretty sure we're the cat party house in our neighborhood Seville.

  2. I can see why you have the party house. You are a fun kitty. XO

  3. This is exactly why we never planted catnip in the garden, Seville; didn't want the 'hood cats to invade The PO'M's territory.
    I thought of planting some this year, but time got past me.
    Maybe next year.

  4. Your place is most definitely the part house for the neighborhood cats, Sivvers. And of course it is because of YOU, and that free-flowing nip! :)

  5. If you have the party house, then does that make you a party human. I ask as humans say party animal, so surely the reverse applies??? Anyways, best not give the peep ideas of using the weed.... I mean the nip, else you'll end up as a nip house and then the law will be raiding your stash as well as the peep!

  6. We are sure YOU are the Great Attraction, the Life and Soul of the Pawty, Seville. But best to hide the nip, just in case ...(mol)

  7. Before we had a fence...and canine residents, this house was a kitty magnet too...several cats brought their broods here...and there several more that enjoyed us as temporary chin scritchers, as well as some ferals that passed through here on occasion.

    I seems that the places/peeps those feral kitties came from have moved away, and we hope the TNR peeps helped them find newer better places to live out their lives.
