WCB #15, Complete with Hobo Lesson

The beautiful and extremely feral "Caramel Brownie Kitty."  My neighbor and I are both animal lovers - I think our two yards have kitty hobo signs* out back to signal to other strays that we feed and water neighborhood animals daily (this always includes a wide assortment of cats, but the occasional raccoon and opossum show up as well - what are you going to do?).  I love this tiny little cat with her enormous, lemur eyes.

*Fun and educational fact: I realize that I have readers in other countries who might not be familiar with hobos or hobo signs.  During the Great Depression (1930s), many men would hop on cargo trains and ride the rails looking for day labor jobs.  These men developed a community, albeit a rather transient one, and a method of communication for their fellow travelers.  Since they frequently relied on the kindness of strangers, these signs often indicated where food, kindness, or a nice hay loft for sleeping could be found.  Here is a pictitorial of common hobo signs.  Don't say I never teach you anything!
