9. My indoors cat has made an outdoors friend.

The other cat comes close to the house in the evening and meows softly until my cat goes to the window and looks out.

Then they sit there, sometimes for hours, staring at each other. During this time, I have not heard either cat make a sound.

I assume the outdoor cat is meowing to "call" and thus communicate with my cat.
