No more stolen cat

I just noticed that I had mentioned I lived with a stolen cat from the neighbourhood we live in. Well, that's a lie now.. because we had to give her back. Still, it looks funny in the profile so I'm gonna leave it there. Turns out that the cat belonged to a house a few doors up the street, and that the owner was looking after a kitten for a week or two - the cat got jealous, packed its things and moved out, right into our apartment.

I have to say it was one of the most persistent cats I've ever dealt with. Normally I take great joy from teasing cats, but I'm not sure I would want to mess with this one. To start with she's a black cat, and I don't want to cross her. She was quite precocious - after being thrown out of the house several times she seemed to instinctively know where all the windows were, and after giving me an extremely peculiar look each time (as only cats can do, and that quite plainly screamed 'don't mess with me'), she returned immediately. After throwing her out several times in a row we finally had to close all the windows..

We did let her in quite often though, she had a good temperament and was very social. But after we found out she had run away from home we decided to keep her shut out all the time in case she got too comfortable. The look she gave me when I threw her out for the last time was somewhere between the 'puss in boots' stare and the 'I'm going to claw you mofo!' range. I haven't seen her around the neighbourhood since, but I keep reassuring the other resident Kat that the other cat is fine and probably somewhere dining on better food than we do.

So, we have gone from this:















To just this one :)..
