Lately we seem to have attracted the attention of another stray, although he doesn't appear underfed.

He sits outside the window and communes with Presto and Little Feet. Senyah saw him, and pointed him out to me. He is almost the spitting image of Little Feet, about the same age, and likewise very pretty (grin).

He seems especially interested in Little Feet. I can imagine the exchange between them:

LF - How's mom?
Bro - She's doing okay, but she's pregnant again.
LF - Again?
Bro - Yeah, by some catabout who made big promises and then left.
LF - Again.
Bro - Yeah, well anyway, mom says hi, and hopes you're doing OK. Say, do these people need another cat?
LF - The big guy would probably say yes, but that woman would probably kick him and Presto out if he adopts another cat.
Bro - That big guy is scary! Every time he tries to pet me, I have to run away! Here he comes again! Bye!
LF - Say hi to mom for me! Sigh.
