That Whiner! He's Become a Deck Inspector!

Remember last year when I mentioned our neighbor cat, Whiner? The three-legged cat? (You can read about his last year's visit here.) Well, it appears Whiner has become a deck inspector. Even though our front deck is not yet completed, he's checking out the construction.

Even though he has only 3 legs and hence, weighs less than the average kitty, he figures these steps are sturdy enough to bear up under the weight of multiple cats. You'll notice that he's also checking the street to make certain no cars are going to run over him while he's away from home.

Ooops. Gotta stop and leave a few cat hairs on clean pant legs. Whiner does not neglect his catly duties. He's faithful that way.

Checkin' for safety...Purrrr, just the right width to keep any kitty from falling through the rails.
Another look towards the street. Those dratted cars! (Here you can see that Whiner is missing his left hind leg...thanks to a nap under the hood of one of those dratted cars when he was a wee kitty. Whiner hates cars!)

Passed Inspection. Yep! Even though this deck is not finished, Whiner has given it full approval. He'll be back often, you can bet on it. And he's welcome, anytime.

By the way! I hope you'll take a look at my other blog, "Those Three Guys". They have kitties visiting them, too.

Cats are clearly not very good inspectors. Were it up to Whiner, he'd probably send the workmen home now.

our fluffy Maxi-Million
that we had to get rid of sadly
he was so cute!

Cats always have opinions don't they? Lots of good deck progress already it appears!

Whiner is a very pretty cat and appears to get along just fine with only three legs.

The deck is coming along nicely!

He looks just like a cat my boys had when they were little. He would climb up a tree by the bathroom. Walk over the roof, someone climb down to the ledge of the dormer window and meow until Todd would open the window and take him in to the his bedroom. His name was "John."
I love your deck! It is a beautiful fall to enjoy it!

He has such beautiful coloring ... I'm sure he'll visit you often.

Now that you have a deck that is fit for a cat, he'll probably bless you with his presence more often.
