The sixth kitty seen in adjacent yards doesn’t look anything like the others—all of which are various markings of black on white: Destiny, Pawky, Scamp, and Thin and Slim. I spotted the ginger on Dec. 29, 2022—for the second instance in several days at the same spot.
At the first sighting, I assumed the fine feline to be another, similarly colored cat that lives within a couple of blocks. But two times, in the same place, and front door of the home wide open convinced me that the putty-tat rests where he belongs.
I used Samsung S22 Ultra to capture the Featured Image. Vitals: f/4.9, ISO 80, 1/60 sec, 230mm (film equivalent); 10:41 a.m. PST. For stoic, but commanding, presence he earns nickname Baron.
