Tommy, the Alien Cat

This is Tommy, the strangest cat I've ever seen.

He appeared in our yard a few weeks ago:

And, contrary to expectations, he started playing with our three male kittens.

And I was so surprised that I was even scared. You know the rules of the cat kingdom. No one just comes to someone else's territory just to play.

Also, look at those weird snake eyes.

It may sound crazy, but I was convinced that he was sent from 'somewhere' to watch us, to see what we were doing, how we were behaving, how we were going to behave with him. Because you really have to see him live to see what a strange cat he is.

His behavior is not feline. He behaves more like a human being. When he comes to the yard, he settles down as if he were at home. He is also self-confident and a little arrogant.

He knows very well what he is doing.

He constantly does things in a hurry and is difficult to be photographed.

On the other hand, he is a very well-groomed domestic cat. He came several times when I fed our cats, but he didn't want to eat their food. He eats a little and lets them eat to play with them later.

He also did not come to take their territory because he did not mark the yard, as all other foreign cats do.

There was a time when I thought he came for our female cat because he was constantly suffocating her and she was hissing at him and she was the only one who didn't want to play with him. Maybe because she was neutered. But even so, he keeps coming.

A few days ago, however, there was already a change in his behavior. For the first time, he didn't play with our cats, or he did, but he was especially rude to them.

Here he is in a threatening pose with our little Blacky, who is more than twice his size:

And here he is already chasing him:

Tommy was so rude to him that Blacky hid under the bush and didn't want to get out of it for long:

Until we intervened, just as some good parents intervened to protect their children from their aggressive friends, and we kicked Tommy out of the garden.

And a little while ago, Tommy tried to scratch and bite me while I was trying to photograph him here on the tree:

IMG_20210516_000835.jpg

And that was the other reason we kicked him out.

Now I think it was just one of those wild moments I told you about in my previous post in this community - the moments when these pets show their true wild nature. They are inevitable. Because these are wild animals, hunters and predators.

IMG_20210516_003233.jpg

Besides, they are absolutely wayward. If someone thinks they can tell their cat what to do, they are very wrong. They do whatever they want.

IMG_20210516_003253.jpg

And I'm sure Tommy, the alien cat, will come back to us. And he will behave politely again. Because that a few days ago was just ... one of those moments.

I've had cats all of my life, and they sure do weird things sometimes. I love the way Tommy makes himself comfortable in the branches of that little tree. His eyes certainly are unusual.

Oh, you know, they make themselves comfortable in the most inconvenient places 😄🐱🐈
