This photo weirds me out.

Friday's brother passed through our backyard today. I saw him on the fence, and my heart nearly stopped because I thought Friday had gotten out! But Friday was definitely inside, staring at his mirror image and meowing. He's never responded to cats in the yard before, but he did to this one! I've seen white cats in our neighborhood, but always at night and from a distance. You'd think something as recessive as pure white wouldn't come out that often, but here it is. I have to think that this cat, though from a different litter, is related to Friday. How crazy is that? Crazy.

  1. Ohhhh, creepy! Do you think it might really be from his litter since you got Friday from a neighbor? Maybe that is why he is meowing at him and he usually doesn't meow at cats, he is calling out to his blood! :)

  2. When our neighbor gave us Friday, he said Friday had been with his mom. They saw his mom several times after that, though I never did. Then, this summer, we saw cats that looked a whole lot like Friday, but were definitely younger. Now, they'd be grown up and would look the same age as Friday, but my guess is that this guy was one of those kittens we saw this summer. Jon says Friday reacted because the cat looked just like him, not because he recognized a family member. I don't know, though....

    "Long lost brother! Why are you out in the scary world??"

  3. I agree with you and Friday. I think it's his brother and he knows. I mean, how would he know what he looks like in full body?

    Obviously our answer makes so much more sense. AND, what's really weird about the picture is that you have 3 white cats! I want a kitty! =(
