This boy came back with a new name after being missing for a year. He's a neighborhood feral who started showing up at my house one day years ago and wanted in to make himself at home. Second or third time he was over he slept right next to me in bed. My cats are unfazed by him once they got past the introduction. They remember him after not seeing him for a year. He's like their dickhead cousin Eddie who stays over every once in a while.

A year ago was the last time I had seen him. Over time I grew to believe he was dead. I texted the number on his new collar and learned a neighbor's daughter picked him up and took him to the city. It didn't work out with her cats so he wound up back at my neighbor's house. Eventually he convinced them to let him out so they gave him a collar with their number on one side and Lucky on the other. I guess it didn't take too long for him to find his way back over here.

I had a chat with them and learned his story. Texting the number on his collar got more answers than asking him "Where have you been?". He has stopped over every day since he reappeared. Last night he came by for a literal midnight snack and headed back out to the world.

His name was Cornelius according neighborhood gossip back then. Lucky is certainly a fitting name. He did come back from the dead and all.

Last time I saw these together she (left) chased him out of the garden at high speed. Apparently they are now best friends and looked annoyed when they noticed me staring at them.

Sometimes I swear I'm interrupting something important.

She does come on regular inspection trips, because clearly it is her house though.

Neighbours who had been feeding her said she was a stray, so we agreed to take her and find a good home for her. I wish we could keep her!

Reggie is another neighbour cat. We know its name is Reggie due to its tag. We don't know if Reggie is male or female because the chonky cat has such thick fur it's impossible to tell.

Reggie is shy. This was the first time, after it has come around for years, that Reggie came to the door, and later even stepped inside (a few steps), spurred on by the other cat I've posted pics of.

A neighborhood cat who likes to lay on mailboxes and get pets from people picking up their mail.

There was this pregnant cat who would come aroun the store i work at, to chill.
