A few weeks ago, we had ANOTHER cat. This story has a happy ending. The cat was a 7 month old kitten...someone's pet with a collar. It came meowing at our door. My mom opened the door, and it walked right in. It was a very friendly, playful, hyper cat. It walked right in, ran up the stairs, walked into my room, and decided to lie on the bed. Then, it hopped on my computer desk, then onto the shelf, and then jumped down. I immediately thought, "Johanna's Monte must be just like this cat! SO naw-tee!" He he he.

I ended up holding the cat, and reading the number on its collar. When I called the number, the lady who answered was thrilled and said her indoor cat slipped out, and was missing for two days. She came immediately to pick her pet up, and was so grateful. The kitten's name was Toby. I told her Toby is always welcome to visit again.

Here are some pics of Toby.





I guess that briefly sums up my recent kitty adventures. Just wanted to share the stories/pics with you all. I can't bring the cats inside...I have birds and they hated it when I *did* bring them in, so I'm planning on buying a covered plastic 'box' or something, with an opening, and filling it with blankets, etc. to keep the cats warm when its cold. My mom and I will be going shopping together tomorrow to look for something like that. Jeez. Does this mean they're going to end up joining the family? They have names, we bought tons of cat food for them, they get treats, they get love and scritches, and now some shelter to keep them warm. What's next? Popcornbird is turning into a meowmie? Wah! Can I join the cat club on PT? LOL!
