Nicki had to go potty. Grumble, grumble, I got out of bed to let her out. As she's picking her spot, I noticed a cat by the shed. Pouncer? I called to him. The silhouette darted across the yard. Definately NOT any of my kitties (this was a young skinny kitty)
So I quietly ushered Miss Nicki back inside (once she was done her business of course) and ran inside for the "good stuff" to plop on a plate. then ran quietly out front in search of this kitty. I couldn't see him/her anywhere. So I rustled around the neighbor's bushes, looking under porches, all the while carrying a glass plate holding wet food. I could hear Nicki barking (after all mom left barefooted with a plate of wet food -- where was mom going without her?) so I figured IF kitty was still around she/he wasn't going to appear in the wake of Miss Loudmouth.
So I returned to the house and had to feed my guys wet food too..... they smelled it and congregated around waiting :rolleyes:
Am I now a crazy lady? Who sneaks around blackened yards at midnight in search of a cat? Now I'm going to worry all night aout this cat. Has it been here long? It was most definately a tabby... of course I could tell black stripes in the pitch black yard ;) I know of a black and white kitty and a tortie on the block, but not a young tabby!
Ah, I'm off to bed (where I was when this whole escapade began) with my own fuzzies.
