Cleo of Chaucer Place

The cat next door's name is Cleo, short for Cleopatra and she is Himalayan. She lives with Betty, who says both of them are senior citizens. Betty says Cleo is not a cat, but a lawn ornament. Cleo either sits on the lawn or the deck and stares through the sliding glass door. She keeps her eyes looking downward, even when we speak to her. I believe she is still looking for Chelsea: Betty says she used to visit them every day. Cleo is still a good looking cat, and must have been a beauty in her day. I'm not sure about Betty; she looks a lot like Mary Reilly.
