Happy Halloween

Meet Patches the neighbor's cat.  She's a hairless cat which gives her an awesome Halloween costume. Oh, those eyes!

Patches finds my garden a good place to hunt.....

and explore

Hi there!

This pole makes a great scratching post.

She especially loves to rub on the spikiest plants.  A surprise since her skin is so exposed.

Sometimes she surprises me when I walk outside and catch a quick glimpse.  I think she might be the Chupacabra.  But don't worry, she won't suck the life out of your goat like the mythical Chupacabra.  At least I don't think so since she hasn't sucked the life out of our goats yet.  But then, we don't have any goats.

She loves to climb our bending trees but is not so good at the getting back down part.  Now she's begging to be rescued...

Patches is very affectionate and loves to follow me around as I work in the garden or, even better, talk me into sitting down so she can jump in my lap.  She's not completely hairless--her coat is very short-haired and feels like Nubuck suede.  About that goat thing, maybe I should get a goat and test my theory or....maybe not.

Patches says BOO!

and Happy Halloween

From Patches and me!
