Pardon the Poor Lighting!

Ha roo, pups and cool cats!  It's me, Zim!  Please pardon the poor lighting in the following pictures!  Dave and I took Mom on a walk at dusk last night and we ran into a friend of mine!  Mom had her iPhone on her, so she snapped a bunch of photos - I just HAVE to share them with you!

Do you remember me telling you about my kit-cat friend who lives down in one of the cul-de-sacs in our neighborhoods?  He was outside last night and came over to say "meow"!!!

"Zim!  Is that you?"
"Ha roo, kit-cat pal!"

He came closer ...

"It's so great to see you!"

... and closer ...

I'm going into a cat stretch here - to make him feel at ease

... and closer!

Nose touchies!!!
"What ... the ... cat?!?  Ouch, my ear, Zim!"

I kinda forgot Dave was with us (you can see his ears there in the foreground - right under my leash) -- but my friend and I touched noses!  It was great!

"Mmm-ow!"

I was trying to get into a down-stay, but Mom was trying to pull me away.  Why?  Let's just say that despite me trying to convince him otherwise, Dave doesn't quite see kit-cats in the same light that I do!

I think the nose-touching thing means we're pretty good friends.

"Come down and visit again soon, Zim - OK?"
"I'll do my best, kit-cat pal!"
"How in the name of Balto does he reel them in like that?!?"

They're building a new house in that cul-de-sac, so my friend has lots of snoopervising to do!

I have a feeling he was planning to do a little dumpster-diving later on! 

It was great seeing my friend - and so cool doing nose touchies!!!!  Do you love running into friends as much as I do?!?  What a blast!

Play bows,
Zim

  3. Hi Zim, That was so cool; many times cats are that friendly unless they've been around pups before. I'm glad you have a good friend.
    Have a pawsome day!

  10. We have a cat named Chant. She is 14 and gets on quite well with me [Checkers]. We're not real sure how she and Chess will do yet.

  13. Zim, you are just too cool . . .even kitties love you.
    Nose bumps are nice but my personal cat would probably give me a nose smack with her paw.

    Cheers,

  14. We just can't figure out how you could not want to chase that kit Kat,what a good friend you are. And what a very brave Kat

  15. Your kitty friend reminds me of the Alley cat. Yes, your mum mentioned Zim is the cat-friendly one. I saw batman's ears sticking out in one of the photos. Rich Boy and Sasa have never touched nose. I wish they would do it. He just loves to sniff his butt. You are a good cat-lover, Zim. I am very proud of you.

  16. PS: Is it just the angle or did you lose weight, Zim? You look a lot thinner in these photos.

  24. I can't believe Dave lets you be friends with all the kitties like that.

    HEY DAVE! You come over here and we'll chase some of those kitties.

  25. Zim! We're so proud of you and your kit-cat pal. Around here we labs have Maui for a sister so we're always 'in touch' - get it? In touch? When she cleans our ears her whole face disappears inside. We like still and let her do it cause she's the queen and we know better than to argue with her.

  31. Now I know why we don't see a lot of your momma on your blog. I think she has three arms! How did she hang on to both of you AND take photos?

    Quite an adventure. Next time, phone ahead on a day when Dave is just hanging in the yard or something, then you can meet your friend properly.
