The Cat Came Back
I previously posted about my (wife’s) cats. What I haven’t posted is that about five weeks ago the older cat jumped out the window of our second story apartment, jumped to the next building over and climbed down a tree. I only assume this is how he did it because it would be far more difficult to get to the tree from the roof of our building. He could also have convinced some human to help him down or jumped down onto a truck parked close the the building next door. I’m not really sure how he did it but he did.
That was five weeks ago. The Humane Society has no record of him being there. Our kids think that they have seen him running around the neighborhood. A day or so ago I thought I heard him outside and went to look out the door. As soon as the door opened though, whichever cat it was ran off down the alley. This morning, sometime around 4 am, my wife was woken up by meowing outside our window. Thinking it was him, she went downstairs and opened the door quietly and slowly. She called out to him and he came right inside. He has since been growling at the other cat (who didn’t run off), rubbing and loving against all of us humans and stopping by the food dish - water he drinks out of whatever cup he can find.
Kinda reminds me of that song.
