Gus Chang and an Intruder Cat
There she goes again. Mom continues to read that newspaper.
I told her to stay away from those sad obituaries, but this time she found one on the front page of the Style section of The Washington Post. Gus Chang the cat died. He had patrolled a block in Washington, D.C. Of course, Mom burst into tears when she read about Gus Chang. This Gus was 17 and had cancer, but 16 years ago Mom had a cat named Gus. He had stomach cancer and died at the young age of 6. I was born a week after Gus died and came into Mom's life a couple of months later.

On another note, we had an intruder in my yard this evening! Mom had her camera with her, and she had just fed me my dinner on my naked deck. 
She walked down into the yard while I ate. Little did I know, but while I was busy eating, there was an evil intruder in my yard! Tiger! Mom didn't inform me while it was happening, but later she showed me the photographic evidence that I have posted here. Tiger was at the bottom of the yard by the brush pile, which is next to my natural outdoor litter box. You can see his vishus laser beam eyes here. Mom thinks that he is handsome with his floofy orange fur, but I can't let this rival steal her heart. Tiger lives next door and sometimes we don't see him for months. He stays inside for long stretches then gets let out and roams the neighborhood for days. One winter, after Mom had cleared all the plant debris out of the front window box, Tiger used to like to nap there in the sun. Mom would see him there at 7:45 a.m. when she would be leaving for work. Sometimes in the summer he would sleep in the vines on top of the lattice over the swing. Regardless, I DO NOT welcome him into MY yard. He is NOT my friend.~Jake

Well then I am glad you didn't see him. Imagine the damage to you from those lazer eyes...
By the way, I totally understand. The minute my human gets busy, I end up not socializing nearly as much. In fact, it will probably start happening in October for awhile.
Yeah, we get really annoyed when STRANGE CATS come inna our yard. We go after them if we are let out.
No one gets inna our yard if we can help it.

Sendings hugs and purrs to your mom for Gus.
An intruder in your yard! How dare he encroach upon your territory. I hope he doesn't come back.
Thank you dearest friends for loving me so very much and sending me your healing purrrrs and purayers. I have eaten my dinner and drank some water. Mommy puts me in my litterbox and I go pee, then I scratch the carpet and headbunk her. I purrr as she puts me back into the frying pan. I hope she still likes me after I put a hole in her thumb...she should be faster with that pill thing!

That was a sad story about Gus Chang. My Mommie gets leaky eyes too when she reads sad stories.

I think that cat just checking around, you won't hurt by him, I am sure that your mommy will protect you, she is the best~!
I hate intruders! I hate them, I hate them, I hate them!
I don't like intruders either! For many weeks a black cat would be around here in the neighborhood, I actually caught the maid providing food for him outside (he would not come near the humans!). But sometimes I had to put my paw down and then the staff would hear us scream at each other out in the prickly pears... One day he caught me and I had three bloody scratches from his claws on my back! And still the maid would put food out, the nerve! Eventually he got caught by the bobcat, a neighbor told us about it. Then I felt bad.
Anastasia would be pronounced the Russian, or German, way (the maid is German) A-nas-ta-se-uh.
We still miss her a lot.

P.S. It seems the maid cries EVERY time she hears of a cat sick, hurt, or dead...
Intruder alert!!!! Why is it this time of year the others start trying to come into our territory??
