Kiki's Corner St. John Island Life (Winter 2010/2011)

Feb 9, 2011 by Kiki 8 Comments

Oh boy.  Sure. My people post all about their amazing adventures on the beaches around St. John here in the USVI.  But have they told you about *my* life here?

Kiki's adventure to the beach

They took me to the beach one day. It wasn’t fun.  Do I look amused?  Those waves are scary!!  But there are fun things to pounce in the forest behind the sand.

But my biggest struggle?  I have a bully.

Meet, Alfredo.

He owns the people down the street. And he’s just mean.  He comes over several times a day and howls and hisses.  Sometimes he picks fights with me.  Sometimes through our screens when my people are out exploring.  He’s never nice.  I just lay there, sometimes showing him my lovely belly to tell him I want to be friends.  I think he wants to steal my food.

And he’s most annoying.

Alfredo. Terrorist.

His people brought a special gift to my people a while back – a super soaker water gun.  It sure chases him away.  But he always comes back.  And he’s not making my experience in the Virgin Islands a treat, that’s for sure.

Tonight however, he crossed the line.  Cherie went out on the porch when he came over, and he let her pet him for a bit.  And then he viscously attacked her – clawing up her leg!!    I haven’t even done that to her since I was kitten – and no one else touches my humans!

This means war, Alfredo!

    Lol… Albert (our foster kitty) would like to tell Kiki he’s got her back! But aaaw, Alfredo looks a little sad too. Maybe he just doesn’t know what love is :p

      Yeah. Alfredo definitely has a sadness about him. We’ve tried being friendly and welcoming to him for months, and it’s just not working.

      Thanks for your support, Albert! Kiki appreciates it.

      Thanks Loiosh! Kiki appreciates the support. Alfredo will either give in and join the kitty party, or run away scared.
