May I have some more, purrlease.
This is Sparky. He lives next door. He has a tuxedo cat fursib named Biscuit. He also lives with three woofies. He has been our neighbor for 12 years. During that time Sparky and Misty May have had oodles of heated conversations regarding his penchant for trespassing on our property. He runs home quickly at the conclusion of these disagreements, but only after giving Misty May the raspberry and reminding her that he has lived next door since before she was born.
In recent months Sparky has been doing more than trespassing. He has been enjoying both his second breakfast and dinner on our front porch. Even now, while we are taste testing noms for an upcoming review, he is waiting at the front door at mealtime. He rates whatever he is served with four paws up and is always a member of the clean bowl club.
I have discussed with his dad, Randy, the fact that I feed him, as I would not want to do it without permission. Though embarrassed about his mooching cat, Dad Randy, has said it is okay. If he happens to be outside when Sparky is giving me his sad-eyed, I am starving look, Randy always tries to coax Sparky to return home. Hasn’t happened yet…at least not until his bowl was spotless.
Mauricio is also thankful today as he took his last antibiotic pill (again, quite unwillingly) last night, and his lip is much improved.
Have you ever wondered what your cat is saying? I’m sure most pet owners have from time to time. When you learn how to read body language you can! Pay close attention to what her tail, ears, and fur are doing and you can read their emotions.
Yow Sisfurz n Brofur n Aunti Janet dat Sparky iz one hansum mankat!

Sparky is so handsome. We have a local moocher too, mama has named him Ringo cause he is a tabbly with rings around his tail. He is always here for breakfast and dinner. We are pretty sure he is making the rounds of the neighborhood since he is one very well-fed, healthy looking fellow.
Glad to hear Mauricio is finished with his antibotics, maybe that will clear up his lip problem.
Sparky’s a handsome little fellow.
It sounds as though handsome Sparky has LOTS to be thankful for. Hooray for Mauricio being done with those antibiotics. 🙂
Sparky is one clever kitty. I like the idea of him giving Astrid the raspberry. I xan just picture it….hahaha.
Shoko
Now that’s one persuasive look! Effective too, if that bowl of kibble is any indication!
Sparky I think you are a brilliant cat!
Sparky is a gourmet he he… Purrs
We don’t know how you can turn down that look!
Sparky knows where the good foods are!
sparky iz one smart kitteh….him noes wear snax can bee found !! ♥
Hey, he is one smart mancat!
Well, Sparky is a very smart guy, isn’t he? Hug.
What a cutie. M goes nuts over orange furbabies.
Sparky sure is a mighty handsome dude!
Awww…Sparky is a cute little moocher- I would feed him too.
How funny. He sure is a handsome boy! That’s neat that Dad Randy is okay with you feeding him. In our neighborhood, there is an orange cat that looks pretty similar to Sparky who roams around and has multiple homes. Our neighbor told us that he was feeding the cat for a while because he thought the cat was a stray. He had even given him a name. Then he found out that a neighbor down the street from him was also feeding the cat and had another name he had given the cat. Come to find out, the cat has quite a few homes he visits for meals and has multiple names as well. I believe he does have an actual home though. If the pawrents know about their cats mooching escapades, I don’t know. Cats sure are silly!
He is an adorable moocher! MOL!
How sweet of your Mommy to feed him.
Happy Thursday, furriends.
XOXO
Poor Sparky! It’s not HIS fault that you test products/feed outside! (wink!!) Hmm…maybe HE should be the official product tester? Sounds like he would be great for the job!
Sparky is like Tigger! He is also one of the clean bowl brigade! MOL
He’s quite handsome. Is Sparky maybe getting a bit of thyroid issue that makes him extra-hungry? He’s getting to be the age that seems to strike every cat in our household.
Sparky you are a sweet mooch! I would be happy to share with you too! Very happy to hear that Mau is doing better!
Marty and Mom
Oh Sparky is a character indeed..and so wonderful you spoke to his person about feeding him as some peeps forget..what if they have diabetes and this means monitoring of their food intake etc….so bravo for asking..and seems he is in fact …just a mooch …;) hugs and loves Fozziemum xx
Sparky sure has a sparkle and has you under his paw *mol*
My mom-person´s dad´s neighbors cat does the same thing 🙂
XOXO
Sparky is like our two local “moochers”, Stevie and ‘Lil One……they prefer having their meals on our porch so we’re happy to oblige at “Sammy’s Café”……Happy to hear that Mau’s lip is much improved. Let’s hope that doesn’t ever happen again.
Hugs, Sammy and his Mom
LOL Sparky sure has a sparkle and has you under his paw. Have a tremendous Thursday.
Best wishes Molly
Sparky is so cute and we loved how his eyes asked politely “for some more please”.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
How can you resist such a polite Mancat? 🙂
What a cute moocher!
Glad that Mauricio is better.
I’m glad that Mauricio’s lip is better! As for Sparky – ha! He’s not even part of your family and he has you wrapped around his dewclaw! Maybe he could give some lessons in human manipulation?
Aaaaaw Hims looks so sweet. Suwe hope hims stays safe.
Luv ya’
Dezi
Looks like da food was Sparky-approved.
