Buster Brown’s Neighborhood

By Karen A. Boxell

Buster is an orange tabby cat who is rescued from a life on the big city streets by a friend of Mister and Missus. Mister and Missus live in an old house in a much smaller city. Though their home is surrounded by many other fenced in properties it is often visited by a wide variety of wild critters. Buster, mister, and missus interact with these creatures in a variety of ways, some scary, some delightful, and others just plain fun.

Karen A. Boxell

The author is a retired high school teacher who has been writing, mostly for her own pleasure, and for small local publications for many years. She is a minor published poet. She has a deep love and appreciation for the many creatures that share our human world. She talks to her own pets as if they were completely in mutual understanding with her, and indeed, they sometimes seem to be. She and her husband have created a haven of their small property that has been very welcoming to animals that live in water, as well as on and under the ground, and those who soar above us all.

The Perils of Buster Brown

My name is Buster. My Mister and Missus sometimes add the ‘Brown’ just to give me more prestige. I kind of like it and it makes a good, full name for an author. As you can see, I’m quite a fine looking fellow. My orange tiger fur is sleek and shiny, and very nicely marked. My eyes are bright and clear-at least they were before the ‘event’ occurred.
