I'm worried my new neighbor won't like Tiger climbing up the pole of their deck

They just moved in the apartment downstairs and I noticed there’s some deck furniture. The last guy never used his deck so I’m worried. I can’t afford to move and I really really don’t want to, and I would be really depressed if they made me take down my hummingbird feeders. So I could use some help worrying, thank you.

I wouldn't think just climbing up the pole would be much of an intrusion. Siwsan Jul 27 #1

Thank you, no I haven't met them. I saw a woman carrying the deck table earlier. Walleye Jul 27 #2

Thank you, Tiger made it up here. He's at the back door eating his supper. Walleye Jul 27 #4

Thank you, he is very shy. So I'm hoping they don't freak out. Walleye Jul 27 #6

Have you met them, yet? I'll keep my fingers crossed that they aren't going to have any issues with Tiger.

yourself, and explain the situation. If you are too shy to go knock on their door, sneak over there with a doorknob gift (a nice dishtowel, an candle, a bag of cookies) with a card that explains the situation. Don't be a stranger. Welcome your neighbors!

I live in suburbia. I have just jotted our names and phone number on an index card, knocked on the door and introduced myself. I mumble something like "call me if you need a neighbor" and hand them the card. I think over the last year, our 1 year neighbors borrowed a snow shovel for the first snow since they had just moved from California and hadn't gotten one yet. Other than that, we just wave. So, go ahead and break the ice.
