Bert (short for Bert Sugar Ray Reynolds) patrolls the docks here at the Cammeray Marina. His home is the boat next door to us, but Bert has claimed us as his own. He's especially fond of the children.
I'm pretty sure he considers the dock to be his domain.
He defies you to go around him.
For a cat, he has his very sociable moments. He'll run alongside, on the deck of "his" boat, when you walk down the finger. He'll come up to the bow to intercept passers by.
Really, it's too cute
In the morning, he comes an peeks in our hatches (peeping tom?). He loves to get rain from them, dragging his paw through the collected dew, then licking it.
Mostly, it just looks really funny to have him up there
