The interlopers have moved on. Molly and Buster Muffikins have returned to their exurban home. They'll have more indoor space, but no going outdoors, but for the 'catio', an enclosed deck.
My pair has responded by pointedly reclaiming the attic space where Molly and her human had hung out. Now, there is no cat, human, nor door to stop them. One of Murray's favorite 'getaway' haunts was the upstairs bed, and the wicker basket covered with a plush quilted coverlet. Cleo is trying to retrain me to put out Temptation treats upstairs, again. She keeps trying to entice me upstairs...which to her, means 'treats'. Murray is also happy that the lower landing on the stairs is now clear of the catbox and ready for him to solicit lots of pets from his human. The landing ranks right up there with the crowbar (the railing on the outdoor balcony).

My back neighbor took down the aging wooden fence which separates our properties. She is preparing to replace it. At this point, it is gone.
My two are all atwitter. They keep going in and and out. Furtively, sometimes. I found out why. With the fence down, some neighborhood cats from the other side of the block, and beyond, have unimpeded access to more territory. I saw two new-to-me cat faces in my back garden in the last two days. With accompanying hurling of cat insults all 'round.

I love the way that cats always seem to hate others of their species? New ones I mean . What's wrong with being friendly?

They don't want any claim-jumpers taking over their territory, poaching their human staff, or tucking into their food source. I suspect that they think of it as a set resource that will be diminished by an intruder.

He's a very handsome cat. Your garden looks lovely too.

Has the photo vanished? I can't see it anymore though could just be my browser (which is being very disagreeable today)

This platform does that with annoying frequency. I've just replaced it by copying the photo link from FB and pasting it in here. I'd done that before, but when I did it this time, I checked the two link addresses against each other. They're different. I don't know how or why. I guess we'll see if this one lasts.
If any administrator is interested, I left the earlier link in place and just added the newer one at the post text.

I can never see any of WG's photos. F******k is an alternative.

Not seeing the photos is probably because I don't log into F******k on my laptop. At least that's what I remember from last time I looked into it.
