A tale of the orange Kitty

My neighbour has a cat... An orange kitty that conveniently comes over to our house, sleeps on our cars (even bellow them on much hotter days), sunbathes on our porches and secretly creeps into our living room once in a while. This cat is a very lazy kitty but he sure is unique amongst his feline species.

McCrispy (as my sister calls him) is the cat's given name in my family (it's real name is something else... definitely not McCrispy). My sister decided to call it McCrispy after the famous McDonalds burger... To be very honest, I never questioned her as to why she chose such a name for the cat...It just popped up... One day she just told me "McCrispy's here again rin..." I was blur of course, but seeing the cat dashing past us made me understand that the cat's new name is McCrispy~ Ever since then, the cat Mr McCrispy has been named and called such a name in this household.

Mr McCrispy has this peculiar hobby or fetish. He loves stalking our Chinese neighbour's pet dog. There is this brick wall separating our house and our Chinese neighbours, but this wall has a gate to ease our entrance into each other's home if we needed to visit each other. (The things good neighbours do ;p) However this gate was sealed shut using some metal sheets a few years ago because their dog started coming into our garden and caused a ruckus. So yea... the gate that once joined the two households is now a metal shield that protects us against our neighbour's very active hound.

SO this metal shield did not completely cover up the whole gate in the wall. It has a hole; small but sufficient to act as a peeping hole for dear Mr McCrispy. He goes to this little hole EVERYDAY. It sits there, and sometimes sleeps right next to the hole without a care of the world! It knows the dog resides in the neighbours house, and it knows the dog's 'spot' is right next to the hole as well. Despite all the menacing barks of the dog, the cat just sits at his little corner near the wall, not even moving an inch even when he can see the dog approaching him from the other side. It has a cool attitude towards the hound.

The weird becomes weirder with this cat. Whenever the dog barks, the cat runs from his home and immediately goes to spy on the dog. Bark bark and there you go: Little orange furball at the gate with a curious stare. It's quite funny actually. Imagine seeing this orange flash across your yard charging itself to peep at his mortal enemy; the DOG! Quite recently, McCrispy has been so daring that it actually poked its head through the hole to get a better look at the dog. The dog becomes hesteric of course, but the cat doesn't seem to bother about it. Whenever the dog dashes towards the cat's peeping head, McCrispy casually withdraws his tiny head and just sneers at the dog's desparate try to also poke his head through the gate. Unfortunately for the dog, his head is just too big to fit through...

So there you are. A tale of my neighbour's orange cat and his love towards our chinese neighbour's dog. (-_-)* These are just one of those weird cat behaviours that I fail to comprehend... Weird but cute all the same~McCrispy peeping at his mortal foe~
