The Cat's Out of the Bag

           Some would say I have a problem (no, not whatever problem you just thought of). It’s that five various neighbor cats keep coming over and meowing to get inside and I let them in, and now my life is about watching for those cats.


          
Okay, the last part of that is the problem. Our final pets passed away and I can’t endure another loss like that, so we have no new ones. However, I love to pet them and snuggle cats and dogs, so when I see a stray cat, I meow and wiggle my fingers so they’ll come over for a cheek scratch. And, I let them in.

          Word has evidently gotten out along the feline phone line, because now there are five who frequent my back yard. And it’s not to see the fairy garden.

Granted, we have tons of birds because I love gardening and we have trees where they like to sing. So maybe that’s why the cats are coming over. OR… they used to play with our cat, Simon, and they’re still looking for him.



           I let them in, and they act like house inspectors. Up the stairs, behind the curtains, under the sofas—they look everywhere (for Simon?)


I don’t feed them because I don’t want to steal someone else’s cat, but they still act like they have two homes now. I think they’d give me a five-star rating on Yelp. Or Meowlp.


           So… if you own one of these cats, let me know!
