Lucy

This is Lucy (affectionately known as Lucifer). She is our neighbor's cat, but seems to like our house better. In fact, she was sitting on our porch the first time we came here and still spends most of her time there. The neighbor told us we could have her, but we're still not convinced that we want her.

Here she is looking very regal and sweet, which she is most of the time.

For awhile she got quite comfy with us and was even sleeping on our bed. We finally let her stay in over night, only to wake up at 6am to the wonderful noise of barfing cat. She's an outside cat now.


She does love attention and will let you hold her for as long as you want. She loves to be held on her back while getting her belly rubbed. Weird cat...

She's also very playful and loves the bamboo in our yard, which I obviously do not since here she is sitting underneath the pile of 5 bamboo trees I just cut down. Don't get me wrong, bamboo is beautiful and the trunks make great garden stakes, but did you know that it looses it's leaves ALL YEAR ROUND?? What a mess! We would basically have to rake our yard once a week to keep it under control, but instead I just chop it down and wait for it to grow back... which only takes about a week anyways.

So, we're trying to like Lucy because it looks like we might be stuck with her, but she makes it very difficult sometimes!
