No, not 9 lives, but 9 squared!.
At my coffee village today - this cat hangs about me all the time, and crosses back and forth busy Rt 68 in front of me many times a day.
Today it curled up under the rear tire of a Honda p-up in front of me.
I had to shoo it from under there .... which p_ssed her off.
A flat cat would put me right off my coffee....besides, my daughter loves to visit with this dumb cat.
That's her under the Honda (sorry for sun glare on camera)
Stig....just doing his duty as a sidewalk attendant.
