<p>Now, we’ve all heard of guard dogs, they are usually a
Doberman, or a German Shepard, or some other large-ish dog with a ferocious
bark and a suspicion of strangers.&nbsp; Around
these parts we have another kind of security animal, neighborhood watch cats.&nbsp; These are cats with the time and inclination
to spend hours and hours every day looking at the window and the initiative to
alert someone to unusual occurrences.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="574" src="https://cynthiagellis.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/20190710_070955-1024x574.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1005" srcset="https://cynthiagellis.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/20190710_070955-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https://cynthiagellis.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/20190710_070955-300x168.jpg 300w, https://cynthiagellis.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/20190710_070955-768x431.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px" /><figcaption>Anabel and Sally at their post</figcaption></figure>



<p>Anabel and Sally are proud (albeit unofficial) members of
our (unofficial) neighborhood watch.&nbsp;
Although they don’t let their responsibilities as neighborhood watch
cats interfere with their napping schedule, they do spend a substantial amount
of their daily awake time monitoring the neighborhood from various locations
throughout the house.</p>

<p>When school was in session, mornings and afternoons were key
watch times.&nbsp; Anabel and Sally liked to
do their part to make sure that all of the little children get dropped-off and
picked-up from school safely.</p>



<p>Recently, I have caught Anabel yelling at the local blue
jays to get off our lawn.&nbsp; She also likes
to watch out to make sure that our neighbor gets home safely from walking her
dog in the evenings.&nbsp; Sally’s post tends
to be the front or back door.&nbsp; He is very
concerned about my sun exposure and does his best to make sure that I don’t
spend too much time outside if he can help it.</p>
