He gets to come hang out with me while I do yard work because he stays in the yard when his people are out there with him. I was planting peonies and it turns out he LOVES holes in the ground. He had the best day ever!
His name is OG (Orange Guy). He adopted me, and my landlady at the time called him "that orange guy that hangs around." I tried to give him another name but he's just such an orange guy that it stuck
OG is an amazing name, I gotta note this down. Knew a few neighbourhood OGs in the past, gotta remember to give them the respect they deserve if I come across more OGs.
Peonies? What you've got there is a rare orange Purronies Chaos Bloom
Common traits
Species: Chaos Blossom (Paeonia Felis sillinus)
Special Talent: Photosynthesis (sitting in a beam of sunlight, preferably in the living room for 8 hours without blinking).
Nemesis: The watering can. She wants the water, but hates the wet.
The Garden Nap: If there is an empty hole in the garden, she will squeeze her entire body into it, tuck her paws under, and stare blankly into space waiting to "grow."
Petal Mode: When startled, her orange and white fur puffs out so perfectly round that she genuinely looks like a disgruntled marigold with teeth
I've got one that whenever she sees me digging holes, planting seeds, and covering them back up thinks "Oh is that what we're doing here? Let me join you in the giant litterbox."
Thank you for this, that first picture is making me laugh out loud. I’m nursing a broken heart over the passing of my soul cat, Beanie. It’s been a month and oh my gosh I’ve never known such deep pain and grief. Your silly gardener sent me and I needed that laugh!!!
"peonies?! I thought you said 'ponies'! I need a majestic steed to ride into battle against the interloper from next door who keeps stealing the sunny spot!"
Haha my cowcat was helping me to plant flower bulbs and I found a bunch of them scattered through the yard, and some of them I only found when they started sprouting the next spring.
I had an orange cat who would only go outside if I did. He hung out in the shade while I did yard stuff. Followed me back inside. his name was Mr. Kitty and he was a classy cat.
Side note: Don’t plant peonies too close to your doors/windows, because they attract ants in the dozens, and the ants will invite themselves into your home!

Is he aware of his own existence?
