Elle found this stray cat in the neighborhood maybe a few months ago. It is a beautiful cat and amazingingly well behaved. Kirk helped her build it a house and she got it a food bowl and food. He came by twice a day and meowed loudly until we fed it. He tried coming in the house once or twice but because Kirk is allergic we couldn't let him stay. Unfortunately there is a large red stray cat that is a total bully, he kept chasing Bones, our cat, out of our yard. At night a few times I heard them fighting in the woods. Well a week ago a neighbor sent out a email to the neighborhood asking if Bones belonged to anyone because they wanted to bring him inside their house and keep him. I informed her that we were taking care of her and she was my daughters. She said thats fine they would just go to the pound. Then it occurred to me, that we were being selfish. If this cat could find a home where he didn't have to be terrorized by a bully cat and sit outside in the rain and possible snow, it's like wining the lottery and we couldn't block his good luck.
So their family brought him in and
she is adjusting really well. When I told Elle she cried so hard and felt terrrible. She understood that it was a good chance for Bones, but that doesn't make it easier. The family let us come visit her yesterday and Elle got to see how well she is doing and they asked Elle to come take care of her in November when they are out of town. It was funny to go visit a cat. But really sweet of them to let us.
