Frankie took his time yesterday smelling this storm drain.
I assume it is because there is a feral cat that seems to regularly use the stormwater sewers as a way to get around without being seen. A larger storm drain closer to our house has a metal grate over it and I have seen the cat through the grate on our walks at least twice, maybe more.

Explore, investigate, it is his duty and responsibility. Well done, Frankie. Now write a report on your findings when you’re back home …
Hahaha. 🙂
Good for Frankie taking it upon himself to keep an eye on all things “worrisome” in the neighborhood. I’m sure you’re right if you’ve seen the feral cat around there before – sniffing gives them away!
Hugs, Pam
I guess it’s better for Frankie to smell a cat than actually see one.
