I’ve been stalking Lucky FeatherTail* for weeks – and I finally got a picture of her without a window between us. She has been living under my neighbor’s shed – and I’ve been feeding her on the side of the house.
It’s a bit confusing to tell them apart because Indy has an evil twin that lives next door.
He** looks exactly like Indy. Same head shape, same size, and no visible white markings. He has green eyes, though, and Indy’s are gold with only a little green.
Then we have Lucky FeatherTail – who is such a scaredy cat that it has taken two weeks to get a decent picture of her. This time, she let me open the door, walk onto the deck and take a picture. Check out that tail. It’s the most awesomest thing ever.
But when I took one step closer to the rail, she freaked out, even though I was still a good twenty feet away and two flights of steps above her. She ducked back under the shed.
And this cat also has a twin, that has the same small, triangular head and almost-crossed eyes, but its tail is unspectacular. Which makes me sad for the little guy, having to live in his sister’s tail-shadow like that.
*Got a better name?
**Why am I sure that Indy’s twin is a boy and Lucky FeatherTail is a girl? Because I said so.
(I’ve always wanted to say that!)
WOOOOO tail!
(I’m sorry, it’s 5 AM).
Bring her in already! You’ve named her, you’ve fed her…Indy needs a pal.
Len, why am I not surprised that you get excited about tail even at 5am?
Lass, noo. I don’t need two long-haired black cats. My landlord would kill me.
You should upgrade her name to Lady Feathertail. She looks all poetic sitting on the sidewalk like that too. *pets*
Erin, what if it’s really a boy cat? What if I call him Lady and that makes him gay?
LOL omg, I totally forgot about that comment.
