Oh this is so familiar. If that alarm clock goes off, it's all over for me. I love to hit the snooze button at least once, but no. Mimi sits beside the bed and cries like a baby until I get up and either let her outdoors or feed her. It's never the same request. This morning, I didn't set my alarm and I hear a cat crying from outdoors. I was guilty immediately, thinking that Mimi had not come in last night, but I was sure she had. Anyway, I have a new friend. It's not Thomas the cat who visited me for many months, but a new begger. He is beautiful A cream color, short haired cat with the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen. It is almost like they have the word out to come to Logan's house if you're hungry or lonely. He has stayed here all day. He has no id or collar, but looks healthy to me. I made him a warm bed on my porch in case he needs shelter from the cold and put out water. I did not feed him so I wouldn't encourage him to stay if he belongs to someone else. I don't have a name for him yet, but if he hangs around long, and especially if he wakes me up often, I have to name him. Any suggestions????
