This is Abbey Rose, named for the Abbey down the road where she was abandoned one wintry day almost 10 years ago. The day after we returned from up north, she would not come down from this eight-foot high fence. In fact she jumped from the fence onto the roof of the house where she then spent the night, despite our best efforts to lure her off and stop the mournful meowing.
Anthropomorphizing her plight, I arrived at three possible reasons for her roof sitting. Had she caught wind of the fact that Willow keeps making the blog and she has never been so honored? Or, despite daily visits by our good neighbor, was she simply seeking lots of attention after having been left home alone for a week? Or was she registering outrage that "that dog" came back?
She is a truly beautiful calico with eyes of different colors, one blue, one green. And she is a cuddler who has the least contentious relationship with Willow, "that dog" who has interrupted the ten-year reign of her kitty kingdom.
