Poor Frodo

Took the cats outside and neighbor boy comes by with his dog. Dog moves too close for comfort with Frodo, so he runs away, which makes the dog chase him with this poor kid hanging on to its leash. Frodo flies up a tree to the displeasure of the kid. He wants me to watch him climb the tree and get Frodo down. Frodo hisses at him. No, I say, he will come when he is ready, he is afraid of dogs. This kid will be scratched badly if he tries to wrestle with Frodo. Kid throws a pine cone at Frodo trying to get him down. I tell him not to throw things at my cat, that is mean. Next his sister grabs the wood shavings around the tree trunks and throws it at Frodo and I say the same thing to her. She laughs. They disappear with the dog to have have a woman come by with her dog. Frodo ran around a corner of the building so I go get Precious probably wondering where we went after the woman and dog are out of sight. He follows me around the corner and here comes Frodo.

Precious did the weirdest thing today. He acted like he couldn't recognize Frodo from a distance. His fur got riled up, arching his back, showing off his side to show how big he is compared to little Frodo approaching. He hops with his back arched (almost amusing) and Frodo now has his tail fur frazzled. Frodo edged forward cautious with his squeaky meow and Precious postured as he sniffed the other cat. He relaxed realizing it is Frodo and the cats ran up different branches of a tree. There is a tree that split toward the base and grew in opposite directions. I wonder if he is getting near-sighted cause he acts like he doesn't recognize me when I approach him outside until I do my normal cooing like Hey Sweetie. He looks in all directions until I'm closer and then comes to me with a meow. But then cat's eyesight is more arranged for movement, not still photography like ours. Well, nothing else to report other than a very boring day at work. Labor Day is tomorrow so all the usual business travelers will be coming tomorrow instead of today. Post later. Bye!
