My backyard has always been an inspiration to the neighborhood cats, inclduing dapper-looking specimens like this tuxedo cat.
Maybe it’s the abundance of lizards, snakes and bugs. I have a pesticide-free environment, and perhaps that’s what attracts them. Anyway, I don’t mind. And cats are fairly hygienic—even if they do use the soft sand around my mango trees as a litterbox. At least they cover it up afterwards!
I enjoy an environment where animals can roam around relatively free. If I had it my way, I’d be living on a rural property full of all kinds of critters. This is what my dream environment would be. Forget a mansion on a hillside somewhere, I’d be happy with a few good acres of land!
