Our Neighbor Jack

Jack is a friendly guy that lives next door in Alva and Amanda's garage. He's a little skittish of certain people, and we don't see him very often during the winter.
This morning I was taking the newspapers to the curb when I thought I heard him, but wasn't sure. When I was walking back up the driveway towards the apartment I noticed him in one of the spruce trees dividing the two driveways. (In case you hadn't guessed by now, Jack is a cat.) Jack is gray with black stripes, he has a small pointed face and short tail. He looks remarkably like our Natalie, but right now he is much bulkier because he stays outside all year.
He was sitting about halfway up the tree, crying at me. So I walked over and was talking to him, he acted like he wanted to get down, but wouldn't jump for some reason. My guess is he found a bird family and wanted to see if there were any treats up there for him. I came back in the apartment and found something to tempt him down (Jack has a taste for chewy cat treats).
That did it, he found a way real fast then, ate the treats, let me scratch his head and his back, rolled over on the ground and looked at me like he was really considering adding me to his list of friends.
I will have to try to get a picture of him someday, but he may be nervous about cameras, he's nervous about everything else.
