Anyone missing a cat?
On Friday afternoon when I opened my front door to go to school, an unfamiliar cat tried to nose its way past me into the house. I managed to get the door closed in time though, and headed off to school, wondering why that cat thought it should go in my house. Later that night, when Everything Guy and The Thespian came in the front door, the cat slipped its way past them into the house, and proceeded to walk around like it owned the place. We tried to shoo it out, but in the end I had to pick it up and take it through the door. For the rest of the night anytime anyone opened the front door it tried to run in. While we grilled, it played in the backyard and wound its way between our legs.
On Saturday it continued to hang out around the house, finally settling on the front porch and meowing incessantly. I tried to ignore it since we can’t take in a cat (The Little Red Haired Girl is allergic), and I hoped it would give up and go home. Finally in the late afternoon I felt bad for it, and fed it some gefilte fish. I knew that would not help it go away, but I couldn’t help it.
Needless to say it is still here today, and I am hoping to find its owner. It is super sweet and cuddly, orangey-yellow, declawed front paws, big light brown eyes, and wearing a green flea collar. Anyone belong to this cat, or know someone who might?
