I Should Be So Lucky

A bit of a daft title for a blog post, but it was what came to my mind first when I decided about today's post.

This is Lucky, my downstairs neighbour. Sometimes he allows me to pet him, and he's always up for a little chat when I look down from my bedroom window first thing in the morning and he is on the patio, as I showed you back in July with this post.

It is a lot colder now at night, and I don't see him as often as during the summer months, but on one of the lovely sunny Golden October days we had last week, he was on the neighbour's garage roof when I looked out of my kitchen window.


As soon as I started talking to him, he began rolling around - I was too far away, but I would have loved to tickle his belly there and then!

  1. That's exactly how I'd feel too Meike. He's a handsome fellow.

    1. He certainly is! A rescued stray from Italy, his humans have told me.

  2. Cats are so funny, they can get anywhere. I think that cat is posing for you!

  4. He reminds me of my Jax in color and size, but for showing off, Ting does that. Wonderful shots.
    thanks for your kind words on my blog posts!
    BTW, how do you pronounce your name (not Librarian, of course!)? Is it may-e-ko? pardon me if that's wrong, please I like to pronounce people's names correctly, even if it's just in my head. :D

    1. You are welcome, Norma!
      My name is just two syllables: the first part, "Mei", is pronounced like "my". The e at the end sounds just like the e in the word "best", so it's My-ke with the e half-mute.

  5. I expect he has no concept of what it means to be photographed! And it is very nice to see him enjoying himself.

  6. A darling cat, aware of you, I think. Great pictures.I am always a little sad that I am so allergic to cats, though there used to be a neighbor's three legged cat who would come and sit beside me while I gardened, and I never had a bad reaction to him, an Abyssinian named Tripod.

    1. He is, Kristi! I am always happy to meet him outside, and when I am on my own, he usually stops long enough for a little cuddle, but as soon as someone else is with me, he prefers to keep out of reach.
      Tripod sounds sweet!

  7. Aw, sweet cat!

    Can you watch movies on Youtube?

    1. I can, Sonia, but very often, videos on youtube are blocked for country-specific regulations of copyright, so I'd have to see whether I can watch the movie (I guess that's why you are asking :-) ).

  8. How lovely that Lucky acknowledges you from so far away and obviously responds well to your voice.

    1. Yes, it was a fun moment in my day. Yesterday, while I was sweeping the yard, he joined me there, and this time, I was indeed able to rub his soft furry belly.
