Here Kitty, Kitty!

This afternoon my husband, who can’t take his eyes off his bird feeder (loves those birds) which is located on the front porch said in a whisper, “There’s a cat on our porch”. He loves cats and we don’t have one. He said, “I wonder if I creep up on it and say ‘Here kitty, kitty, if it will come to me?”

Well, he was creeping up to the door and he mentioned, This cat looks like a Manx like Smokey, the cat we used to have. I held the dog, Molly, while he opened the door. What a surprise for the both of them! The cat looked up at the same time Chick was saying “Here kitty, kitty” and it was a beautiful cream colored bob tail, bob cat. It took off and Chick was chasing it. I don’t know what he thought he would do with it if he caught it!

I looked out the side window as it was gracefully leaping through the air, like a ballerina with a fluffy ball of a tail and spots splashed all over it’s coat. I ran to the back door and it was gone! Darn! What a beautiful creature. I wish I could have gotten a video shot of it.

Now though, I will worry every time the boys or Chick go outside and accidentally leave the back door standing open. Here Kitty, Kitty, might come in and have a bite with us and of us.
