We've had a string of really nice days/evenings here lately, so I've just been leaving my windows open to let the fresh air in and that has been so nice! In the evenings when I'm working on dinner, or hanging in the living room I will leave the screen door open so Sophie can go back and forth out to the courtyard. She doesn't like to be left out there all alone, but if she knows she can get back in whenever she wants to, she'll wander in and out, sniff around the new flowers, or sun bathe.
So since last night was really pretty, I had the door open and Sophie had been meandering around, but got sick of it and came to snuggle with me on the couch while I read and Dallas looked at vintage suits for sale in the area. Yeah, you read that right.
You ever get that feeling of "someones watching me"? I was sitting there, minding my own business, mid love story, when I got that feeling. I looked over and lo and behold, there was a freaking cat in my living room. Just hanging out, looking around.
"THERE'S A CAT IN HERE!" I yell.
Sophie jumps down, trots over to say hi, cat sniffs at her. I pick Sophie up so she doesn't get the dog version of the cat version of AIDS and Dallas proceeds to shoo the cat into the courtyard, lure it through the garage, and out the door.
*wipes hands off on jeans* Well, that was odd, but over with. We sit back down.
"Meow". What the?! The cat is back and staring at us through the screen door! Where did this Houdini feline come from??
I go back out to see what the info on his collar says and the neighbor kid sees me and informs me that it's just Charlie, the neighbor's cat. He tells me they don't keep a very good eye on him so he jumps from roof to courtyard to living room, apparently. Okkkaaaaayyyyyy.... So I just leave him here? The kid shrugs and leaves me to the cat. We decide he got in twice, surely he'll find his way out if he really wants to. And so we did just that... ignored Charlie and he went away again.
Sure, I feel bad for homeless or neglected animals, but I'm not really much of a cat person. Anyone need a new pet???
