I came from grocery shopping and there he or she stood on the other side of the street.
I stopped and enjoyed.
I think it´s a boy, it´s the way he looked at me.
He meowed.
I said, "hello, you" (well, as in "Hallo, du") and he made his way up to me, more talking from his side, more big smiles from mine.
Mind you, a dog and you´d see me running (which is stupid), but here now?
He came right up to me, talking some more, cuddling up at my legs, so I bent down and asked if I may pet him?
"Meow", I took it as a yes.
A stray? Well fed, so reckon a guy just out for a stroll?
I petted him some more, he then looked up and just left.
And I went home smiling.
One day, I tell you, one day I´ll have a cat!
I mean, I, we, live in the city of a very big cat after all!
Maybe this lille meetup was a pressie from Santa - this was on 23rd already, though, the old man was a tad early with me ? ;-)
I hope to meet him, the cat (or her after all?) again!
With my lille Nice though... on 24th, when we celebrate Christmas here in Germany, this happened:
- "Hello Auntie Iris!!!" (on the the phone)
- Hi J, you looking forward to meet Santa?"
- "... hmmmm..."
- "Bet he´s got loads of pressies for you!"
- "... hmmmm..."
- "You´ve been a good girl, right?"
- "... hmmmm..."
History repeating itself, LOL!
Yes, here it´s...
I was good, I nearly got a cat!
I have one!!
A tiger is a cat, too, right?
And they are early birds, it IS 03:10 a.m. - weird, but we are wide awake...
Bet Santa made some noise again!

This was AWESOMELY AWESOME, Iris. What a fun, fun post. What a beautiful and friendly cat. Bleubeard is jealous. He knew to give you an early Christmas gift of friendship. What more does one need? Maybe a lion that is Henry's brother.
Elizabeth, please give Bleubeard a big hug from this.. these (!) cats!
It was awesome indeed! He just came up to me, like he had trust! And "babbled" away, a chatty one, so cute!
Schön dass Du eine freundliche Katze getroffen hast. Ich besuche Nachcher meine Nachbarin und die hat eine schöne Katzendame die bestimmt wieder auf meinem Schoß sitzen wird. Dir einen schönen 2. Weihnachtstag! GlG, Valerie
What a nice cat! I also had a black cat, Isis! She was my Mishu's grandmother!
May the magical celebration of Christmas gift you with all the goodness and happiness.
Belated Merry Christmas to you!
Hugs!
What a lovely meeting with you and the cat, perhaps it's a message that you should soon have one of your own.
Tigers are definitely cats and I love them as much as I love all the big cats. lions, tigers, panthers etc.
Valerie, genieß die Zeit mit der Katzendame! Dir einen schönen zweiten Weihnachtstag ud GlG, Iris

Ella, thank you! It was magical, indeed! I´ve seen him from far away more often, but that day... sooo cute.
Happiness and all merry to you! Hugs!

River I´d love to ... but then we cannot come to Perth no more!
When I retire I´ll have a cat! Or a panther ;-) Black, certainly!
(No, the color does not matter, it´s the heart, right)
...Iris, keep the excitement of Christmas inside you. It's too special a time for just one day!
Tom, I do! We have the 24th as real Christmas Day, when Santa comes over with his pressies. 25th is is called first, and 25th second Day of Christmas. (Germans, huh).
So, today it´s still Christmas!
What a cutie.
Yes!
I love when I meet a little animal like that. Dog or cat, I am happy with either. And long as they are friendly and nice. We need the world to be nicer for sure. Hugs-Erika
That is, true, the world should be much, much nicer! Hugs-Iris
That cat looks a little like my beloved Ink. I miss him so you’re encounter with the black cat made me smile.
I am sorry you lost Ink. Another reason I am afraid of getting another pet - they are family...
I hope you get your cat one day. I do think cats carry messages. Maybe from beyond the grave, maybe just a message of joy. I'm glad you got your Christmas Eve message, no matter what it was!
That was a lovely encounter with you and the cat :)
All the best Jan
Jeanie, thank you! I saw him not again yet. One day...

Jan, yes, it was special!
