This wasn't taken the same time as yesterday's photo of our cat in the window but it is a familiar scene none the less. As I mentioned, aside from some obvious differences, alligators have a lot of the same traits as cats IMO. They sleep and lounge just as much, and have the same standoffish temperament as cats do to varying degrees. In all honesty, I cannot tell if this is the same guy who has come around in the past. If they are about the same size it's a bit easy, but unless you get up close and personal it is hard to differentiate.

The bloated belly shows that he/she has eaten and will now sleep. I like that "friendly smile" too.

Alex, I prefer however a cat as pet rather than this 'devil in disguise', ☺ .
Maybe you're used to see such a 'friendly critter' that close in you area, but if I lived there, think I was frightened to death each time when I was confronted with such a 'lazy' guy!
Good one again!

Who wants to get "up close and person," to this bone gnasher Alex?
I think they are more like dogs in that: "You should let a sleeping dog lie."
Well shot.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Not to mention all the laughs we get out of those videos of alligators falling asleep on top of warm TV's, batting balled up sheets of paper around the house, teasing the dog... hmmm? Oh, I guess we must have a different kind of alligator up here, Alex... yours appears to be smiling.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
