Show us your pet (2025)

my/our family has had housepets as long as I can remember - but this is the oddest 'neighborhood pet' we encountered . . .

black and white young cat showed up, hanging around, very friendly. asked all about but never found anyone who 'claimed' the cat . . .
in this pix, our dog was about 13 years old, always a mild mannered pet, was thoroughly accustomed to "cats in the house."
the surprise was how comfortable the "stranger cat" was around the dog . . .
the cat would come in for pets and cuddles. snacks always appreciated, and eventually would walk to the door to "go home?"

we moved after ~2 years. brought / introduced the cat to a neighbor, who promised 'continuing care' . . .

Pippi follows the sun...View attachment 130025
Kate would do that, but she’d always move just to the edge, like where Pippi is lying there, thereby minimizing the relaxation time, because she’d have to get up again fairly soon after lying down.

I’d try and coax her farther into the “sun zone,” but she’d always move just inside the edge and lie back down.
 
Our DD's pug, when she still lived at home, would go in my and Craig's bedroom in the mornings, second story, because we had an east facing window with curtains that were rarely closed, and lay on her back in the sunlight with everything showing. She got a nice tan on her belly.

Pippi gets her exercise either going down to the mailbox or up to Moms house. She tries to run to keep up with Ozzie and I tell her to slow down since she's 14 and huffer puffer dog with her short nose. She does pretty good!
