We have a big ol’ black cat that hangs around near the house. He’s been here since we moved in. For awhile, Lieben lived outside during the day, and while she was there, the black cat drew back, stayed out of sight most of the time. In the woods, usually. When Lieben died, the cat came back and began cavorting visibly in the yard again.
I see this cat through my window all day. I can only see a certain swatch of front yard, because I only open the blinds of one office window. But I’ve been seeing him more and more, stalking around the driveway, skirting the trees and looking sneaky. He’s eating little animals. Marty found a dead frog in the yard a few weeks ago. It was a little one, but I kind of wonder. Leftovers?
Today it’s been raining. Yesterday it rained, the day before that it rained. Lots of rain. It’s not heavy – just enough to be chilly and uncomfortable. So I keep my windows closed, and I try not to leave the house. But this cat, he is having the time of his life! He doesn’t even seem to notice the rain. He isn’t even stalking. He’s trotting, hopping, looking very industrious and extremely self-important. He’s checking out all the little hideaways, not minding the wet, just doin’ his thing. He’s getting a lot done.
I am, too. But tshirts will have to come later. So be patient – they’re on their way. :}
