Meet the neighbours

Dear furriends,
we'd like you to meet a very nice neighbour of us.
His name is Freddy Quinn. He just got two years old.
We see him often when we're snoopervising in the other world behind our garden wall and he's out on his balcony. He lives together with his older sisfur Dixie and a black older woofie called Angie. Mom says he's a very friendly mancat and has super soft furs. His mom is our catsitter! Our mom is very happy that she asked her one day, because she can really trust her with us and doesn't have to worry when she's gone. Mom and the other type of human will be away for two weeks starting this Friday. That's the longest mom's ever been away from us. At the moment we're even considering not giving her a hard time because it seems so hard for her to leave us. And our catsitter will have the most sniffiest smells on her!
Many purrs,
Siena & Chilli

The show-down

Dear furriends,
here's how the meeting with Dado went. We hate giving away the ending, but it doesn't exactly look like we will become great furriends.
Dado is a handsome fella, but he really should find himself another territory.
Siena is really good at the stare-down, she doesn't seem to blink once!
Dado gave up first and planned for his retreat. Notice the puffed tail!
Siena followed him. She's so close to the ground he can't see her (yeah, right).

Just look at her technique!Chilli prudently followed them within some distance.
Other cats were watching them... ... it was that thrilling!They settled for an ultimate round of stare-down.
Chilli's no good at it, it makes her feel owlish.Dado did better this second round.
Siena had enough, she approached him, settled to fight if that was what it takes.

But Dado retreated in to the safety of the wall over which he enters into the other world. What a slow-mo retreat!Chilli still only watched from a distance.

Hear them holler! Chilli thinks that's bad language.After all this Siena relaxed on the neighbour's deck. She defended our territory. For today.

Oh, the exciting life of cats!

Stay tuned, Siena & Chilli

Introoder cat's real identity

On Thursday we told you about how Siena rescued Chilli from the introoder cat and the tree. Well, the story continues! The following days to the eventful night were calm without any introoder cat sighting. Then, one day, the neighbourhood was plastered with these:
It says this:
On the 2nd of August my grey tabby Dado disappeared. He's one and a half years old and chipped. Please help me with the search, he most probably got locked into a cellar in the neighbourhood.
Mom felt guilty. She thought that Siena had frightend Dado so much that he got lost. She kept an open eye for him, but he didn't show up. A few days later mom was talking to the neighbour right behind our wall. He's a nice man who allows mom to climb over the wall into the other world to go and look for us whenever she wants. Anyway, as they were talking he suddendly asked her about the third cat. She went "Which third cat?" and he pointed towards some rose bushes. Sure enough there were the three of us engaged in a proper stare-down. Mom rushed off to call the number in the ad. The young woman on the other end told her that Dado had since returned home, is a happy neutered male and just seems to "wander quite far away". She asked mom to look after him a bit and pet him from time to time. Mom went back to have a chat with Dado. But it seems he's not too friendly outside. He puffs his tail and hollers terribly, it's pretty obvious that he doesn't want to be pet! He gets into the other world which is adjacent to our patio over a high wall. Mom is afraid that one day we will follow him and she knows that there's a patio behind that wall with an open garage entrance!
We since had a few encounters with Dado. He's very cheeky and persistent and challenges Siena for her, I mean our, territory. And he pees on our terrace!
On the look-out for Dado in our patio.
Chilli even practised her tree-climbing so she'll never end up stuck again.
Siena doesn't really need training but she did it anyway.
Notice the special back-up tail!
Uh oh, why is Siena in stealth mode? Do you see the introoder somewhere?Chilli prefers to stay up on the wall.
Yep, there's a tabby lurking in our territory!Siena and the introoder in a match of stare-down.

Extensive (!) coverage of this meeting tomorrow. Be prepared for some explicit cat language.

Siena to the rescue

Dear furriends,

you might know that Siena is a very loving sisfur and that she thaught me much impawtant stuff. But a few weeks ago she actually rescued me!
I have to go back further and explain first that we we're having problems with a nighttime introoder on our terrace. It wasn't the tabby with white this time, but a classic tabby. Here's the introoder cheekingly staring into our appartement. Silly mom assumed it was Lilly, our next door neighbour. She wondered how Lilly worked up the cheek to come so close and even pee repeatedly on our terrace, as she's normally quite the shy one. Look at her hissing at Siena! Siena growled and hissed back and got nervous, always glaring into the darkness if "Lilly" would turn up again. Some calm days followed where the introoder didn't make an appearance.
But one night mom called us to come in and only Siena showed up. She called and called for me, rustling with a treat package, but no sign. She decided to climb over the wall into the other world to search for me. She walked the whole property but didn't find her little Chilli. She found "Lilly" though, lying in the grass, looking, ehem, bigger than she remembered her. When she approached "Lilly" she hollered at mom, staying put right where she was! Mom got a creepy bad feeling about all this and searched again. Still no sign from me.
She climbed back over the wall to get Siena and then returned with her to look for me. Siena was like a trained search dog, she trotted next to mom as they were inspecting the property a third time. She found "Lilly" and chased her away across the property. "Lilly" dissapeared into the wrong direction though... (tbc).
Then Siena found me! I was high up in the conifer marked with the red arrow! I'm not a big fan of climbing trees so it was clear that I had to flee into that tree and that "Lilly" was threatening me so I was afraid to come down. Mom and Siena helped me to get down the conifer. Mom had to pick Siena off of the trunk two times and she was meowing all the time for me to come down. She really saved me!
Thank you sis, if I'm ever in trouble again I'll know that I just have to call out for you. Love you so much!
Your little silly Chilli

What I've been doing

Hi efurryone, it's me, Chilli! Did you miss me?
The last posts were all about Siena and celebrating her Gotcha Day. Strangely, mom has two days with NO pictures of little Siena, so I thought I'd take advantage and tell you what I've been up to in those past days and weeks.
With my upcoming graduation as a Gardening Cat (on my first birthday in a few days) I have been gardening whenever the weather was permitting it.And sometimes - even if the weather seemed okay - it's mom who doesn't permit it. Not fair! I need to check on things!
These lavender bushes are looking good!
Everything must be in prime condition. Here I'm checking the Hosta leaves from the downside for pests. Hard work, but I aspire to graduate summa cum laude.
I've even been gardening for hours in the other world behind our wall. Need as much practice as pawsible! Can you see me? Mom giggled when she spotted me.On my way back home I felt a creepy feeling when wanting to pass this open window.I felt like glowing eyes were watching me, a shiver ran all the way down my spine to the tip of my tail and I froze on the spot.
Brrr, I still shiver when I think of it. How strange - there isn't really anything in that window, is there? Biggify if you dare to look.
The other day I got some quality playtime with the neighbour's visiting girls. There were three of them and they absolutely adore me. And I adore feathers! A good combination. However, the neighbour managed to lose my feathers when he teased our neighbour cat Frida with it. And you shouldn't mess with Frida.The toy was a bit broken anyways and mended over and over again, but I was really sad as I loved it very much. It made me chatter! Here are some memory pictures of me and my beloved toy.

Our neighbour gave me a peacock feather as a making-up-present! Those are pawsome too!
Mom says I'm her little peachick and that the colour of my eyes reminds her of the colour of these feathers. Moms, sometimes they say really weird stuff!I'm having fun with this feather for sure. If I promise to be good 'til the 15th of August, I might get a new old feather toy.Okay then, I'll keep a low profile for a while. But for now, two new entries to the popular series 'What is wrong in this picture?'Check in tomorrow, I have loads to tell you!
Purrs, Chilli

Are you Ἄλφα?

It has officially begun. Now it's going to show if Chilli is the α-cat she aspires to be. Little Miss silly Chilli went on the neighbours deck again.
The opponent on the strategic wall.
While she was over there Frida, one of the neighbour cats, came out of their appartement and attacked Chilli so that she fell down in their patio. The way back to us was now cut off by Frida who had her tail puffed and was hollering. After some time Chilli worked up all her courage and headed for home encountering a very unfriendly Frida on the narrow wooden railing of their deck. She got several whaps and there was scary screaming going on but she made it home! Chilli is unharmed, she hasn't even got a scratch. It all went so fast but mom thinks she saw that Chilli whapped her too. I have never done that!
I could tell that Chilli was impressed.
She had to have a drink to calm her nerves.She seemed to recover fast from the initial shock though.
Now, what's it going to be?
A) open war for dominance
over the garage roof?
B) coming to an arrangement?
I was so miffed to see my little sisfur attacked that I almost forgot that I'm a friendly cat and considered challenging Frida myself.
Purrs, Siena
