I’ve been living vicariously through the cats that live near me. There are three of them and I’ve been writing down my observations, things like:

Copper, the outgoing friendly one with big blue eyes. The one who just has to always have his head scratched by everyone and anyone. The one who doesn’t know how to take a hint but you forgive him anyway.

Jack, “dark and mysterious”. Anxious and illusive, will not let you touch him unless he really trusts you. Aggressive—always killing birds. Prefers to be alone.

Whimsy, the female. Smaller and not very adventurous but will approach with only a bit of caution. Likes to sit and people watch and be in the same chair as Copper.
