Last week a dog came into my house. This week a cat.
Another neigbor's cat came and visited my house. The thing is, I was talking to the neighbors and my door was open. Cat walked inside until the neighbors saw him and called him back out. Friendly animals are cool.

1. I think you're pretty cool for playing host for the more sociable
pets in the neighborhood. Pretty soon, though, word will get out that the party is at your house, and you'll be up to your ears in dogs, cats and ferrets. Probably should lay in some snacks.

3. The dogs and cats have placed a "Hobo Mark" on your door...
It says "Soft touch for animals."

5. Many animals have done that before I think.

How exactly do these animals leave the "Hobo Mark"?

6. That's a secret only they know.
The one on our door says; "Will rescue pitiful stray cats."

4. I know how you feel
We often get visited by neighborhood cats, even though we don't feed them.

We have also started getting visited by all manner of other animals - squirrels, oppossum, skunks & raccoons. I had to stop leaving my screen door open on summer evenings cos I found a baby racc trying to slide the door open.

I shudder to think of the mayhem that would have ensued. . .
