I was telling The Mister that I saw a new feral cat cross through
our yard yesterday. Black and white. Wondered if he would
come back. It was almost exactly 2 years ago that the tiny
baby Cocoa was at our back door with Tiger, looking through
the glass at us. And it was one year ago this week that
I looked out and saw Slate for the first time, curled in
the chair with Tiger! That Tiger! What a kind heart he has.
It just occurred to me that he does this during RAK month. ha.
Later in the evening last night, The Mister called to me
from the family room.
"Hey, I think that cat is back! He's sitting in the chair!"
"Oh really? Black and white?"
"Yeah, but not as pretty as our cats. And his markings are odd."
(had to laugh at that!)
(had to laugh at that!)
"Oh, give me a few weeks with him and he'll be pretty.
Remember Slate after some TLC? Besides, with that
mark on his nose, I think I'll call him Smudge."
He doesn't look too ferocious, does he?
He watched us through the glass and when he decided that we
weren't going to chase him off, he snuggled down to sleep.
The chair has a heating pad on it, under a thick old bathroom rug.
He probably thought he found heaven on that cold night.
I didn't try to feed him. Just a warm bed was good enough for now.
He isn't too scrawny, but is scraggly and filthy.
I'm hoping that naming him didn't jinx his return!
That has happened with Freckles and Rocky! ha.
I need another cat to care for, you know. :)
And guess what!
It's my blog's 7th Anniversary on Thursday the 12th.
I love my little blog and all my bloggy friends.
Thanks for making it all so much fun!
