I Think Nosy Is Much Too Harsh a Word


for the vigilant watch I keep over the neighbors and their strange doings.

 Pigeons and dogs and drunk people and crazy park-dwellers stumble their way past my windows, making me appreciate the Old Bat
--but don't tell her. I have a reputation to uphold.

    Someone needs to keep an eye on the reprobates, right, Spitty?

    You curtain twitcher!
    But you could write a great book about what you see, methinks.

    We think "observant" is more correct. And you should be. With pigeons, park-dwellers (we hesitate to even IMAGINE what those are), drunkies, and Bast only knows what ELSE, you have to be very observant.

    PEE ESS: I'm pretty sure that the talio on my blog is mine. Orange wouldn't fit you well. But it WOULD be pistalular! Wait, partacicular. Um, Oh Bast ~ MARLEY

    Nosy is definitely not the right word. I'm thinking alert, observant, aware, prepared. I mean, SOMEONE has to be, don't they? And yes, I guess seeing some of the alternatives that exist 'out there' would make you somewhat more appreciative of your Human and that's not such a bad thing.

    At least you have entertainment. We've got zip but we keep looking. I think we forced the person in the next building to keep the curtains closed. What a spoilsport! It's only the window at the top of the stairs, just like ours. It's not like we can see her stoopy dog or anything.

Leave me a meow or a hiss; I don't mind a hiss or two. . . or even a bitey.
