The new kitty next door

As I was describing when Max was here, he had found that there was a new kitty that lives next door, and would bark at it through the fence at night. Well last night (sometime around 3 am, I am told),  I went outside and heard it on the other side of the fence. I went close and sniffed at it through the little hole, and it hissed and growled at me!

I then proceeded to bark at it... how dare it growl at me? Anyhow, Richie came out and threw cookies down onto the deck. I much prefer to eat cookies than bark at an unseen antagonist.

Later that morning, I showed Richie what all the commotion was about. He knelt down by the hole in the fence, and took this:

Finally, now he's seen what I've been talking about. What a funny-looking kitty!
