1/7/11 My daily dose of amusement.....

It never ceases to amaze me how amused we get with the cats...We have 2 of them now but this one just popped up on our doorstep a few months ago....my brother the tender heart that he is started feeding her while he was housesitting for us. She never really wanted to come in the house...but everytime we walked out on the porch she was laying there so sweet and always picked her head up to see us and looking like she was pleading with us to pet her....and of course we did....we tried bringing her in the house.....but Voodoo our other cat was having absolutely no part of that...He would chase her and they would hiss at each other and growl and into the couch she would go and hide...that lasted all of about 3 hours....and as soon as she caught the door open out she went...but she never ventured farther than the garage....so we let her be and just continued feeding her. Well when it got really cold outside, Shane and I decided that we didn't have the heart to leave her out there. So we went and got a second litter box and brought her back in...and then just watched and waited and hoped that Voodoo would be nice. Suprisingly after the first few hours they were great together. Now a few weeks later they are our daily dose of comedy....They chase each other around the house and bat at each other....one will be laying around the corner and the other will come by and get caught off guard and so begins the rumble....it is freaking hilarious...it is like our own personal episode of Tom and Jerry....Tonight was no different....This little one is comical all on her own....she chases her tail, and a ball all over the house and gets into small spaces apparently just to see if she can fit and then tries to bat at her tail...I love her so much....tonight's adventure consisted of a tabby cat and a 3/4 empty water case (plastic wrap).

I am so thankful that she chose our doorstep and our hearts are too big to turn her away.....she has truly been a blessing to my soul....she can be the sweetest thing and then go from angel to demon in like 2.7 seconds. We don't think she is more than a year old if she is that and she still has the playfulness of a kitten. I wouldn't trade her now for the world. Shane's favorite thing to say now is if you need some comic relief or if you are feeling down...just find the cats....LOL!
