Taken advantage of in Aruba

[aquaman]

This past New Years eve, we were visited by this little guy in the attached photos.

We were enjoying a light meal on the patio at the time. He arrived and then paraded around the patio and then into the kitchen. There was a lot of meowing and so on. Finally we broke down and gave him a little treat. After this he jumped onto the chair and dropped off into a deep sleep. Shortly before midnight he awoke and left in the same direction he came from.

Boy, those Aruba cats know how to take advantage

Andrea,

We found out the next morning that he belonged to a young girl in a house close to us. I think he was into trying International cuisine

that was a gorgeous kitten
wish you could have kept it.

do you get the idea that i am into swiping animals?
i guess i am.
must be hereditary............. my grandmother found a parakeet sitting on her door step once. she brought it in the house. bought a cage and all of the accessories for it and laid claim!

2 days after the bird's arrival a woman came a'knockin on the door and said
"my parakeet flew out of the house did you or anyone you know in this neighborhood find it?" grandma said " nope haven't seen it and since you were so careless with it you do not deserve to have it"

apparently it got ugly
but my grandmother kept the bird.

glad the kitten had a real home.

Yah I got taken advantage of in Aruba by a stray animal just in another way... My cousin and I were at a snack shop one night getting a sandwich. Well we waited a long time and finally got them. As we went to sit down I sat her sandwich, which was all wrapped up in foil, down on the chair while she ran back to the car. The next thing I know she returned and a silly stray down had made off with her sandwich. So take this as a lesson learned to not turn your back on your food! HAHA!

God bless you! I thought we had a lot of cats with 7 strays we have taken in over the years, you are way ahead of us. Cat number 8 is now lurking out in the woods behind our house.
