Pets

I hope he has a home and just wandered off.

Had about 30 minutes of kitty time with the neighbor's cat (Mikey's unrequited love interest) and her last remaining baby. Baby is female and a grey calico manx, her mom is a calico/Siamese manx. Both are sweet and playful so I had fun playing with them while visiting. So entertaining, had us laughing a lot.

Later last night I was getting ready for bed and had the window open but wasn't at the window and suddenly I heard some weird noise like a deer was attacking the side of the house or something! When I went to the window there was the mom cat looking in and hanging from the sill outside! She hasn't been out since the babies were born. Now that she's spayed she can go out but she doesn't stay out long. She often comes to my porch to observe her domain, sometimes the lays on top of my car like it's her throne. I keep a bowl of water on the porch for her so she can enjoy her drink in a sheltered place. A couple times she's come into the house when the door is open for a breeze, she seems to be still looking for Mikey. I wonder when they said through telepathy all those hours that they looked at each other through the window.

Then a mini hurricane attacked our hillside and I was glad to know, because I called the neighbor about it to have a good laugh, that she was back inside when the storm hit. Not much lightning but horrible wind and heavy rain, I got up and waited for the wind to die down before I got back in bed. Never know if you might have to evacuate the building sometimes so being up and dressed is wise, I think.

Hope all goes well and a happy reunion with someone who cares for the baby comes around quickly.
