Honestly, Connie, I think we're living parallel lives! There's an orange & white (not tabby) that's been sneaking in the kitty door and snatching food here. I call him the 'ghost kitty', because, if you're really quick, you can see him disappear in a flash.  He does seem to be well fed, and I think I saw a collar... My kitties just sit and stare wide-eyed while he zooms by.  

Now BriBri can relax and be the kitten she actually is. Bubba sounds like the purr-fect friend to help her make up for all the fun and games she's missed out on.  How's she taking to the dog?
