Lately, we've had this cat hanging around the house. It's not a stray....the cat is too sweet to be a stray. It's also well fed (or an excellent hunter, but we'll get to that). As you may recall, we are living in the house I grew up in, so my parents have lots of advice for us about making and keeping our home a happy one. One particular piece of advice they've offered is that we get an outdoor cat. The house is located back in the woods, and my parents let us know that having an outdoor cat will help keep the snakes away...as well as other critters.
My husband is allergic to cats, and we don't really have the money to spend on an extra monthly dose of pet-meds. So, we've tarried.
Then, this cat shows up and meows at the door pretty all the time. My husband feels sorry for feline, so he feeds her. Now she won't leave. She even brought us a "present" and put it on our door step.
So...what do you think? When cats come bearing "gifts", does that mean they're here to stay?
Then we found out that she was a he. And he has been around for about two weeks now. Zombie loves him! And we've named him Aladdin!
{Try really hard not to judge me or my husband or our ability to be cat parents on: -the horrible phone photos & their quality, the leaves that are STILL at the bottom of our steps, or all the weeds growing between our bricks.)
