The Saga of the Cat

1. So, we get this cat from the G family. This will be a nice surprise for the children! We pick out a beautiful calico cat and take her home.

2. Everyone loves said cat. Even I fall for her. Day 2 – cat runs away. Everyone mourns and alerts neighbors.

3. Day 3 – she comes back, decides to stay this time.

4. Callie is her name. Boy, Callie is a great mouser! We find dead moles, rats and mice in her tracks.

5. Callie is well fed. Oh goodness…Callie must catch a lot of mice, we notice her belly is swelling from ….from….food?

6. The food in Callie’s tummy now kicks us regularly. You can even feel their ribs, heads…legs….hmm….the “food” is quite large.

7. Like clockwork, Callie is at the door at 8am meowing to come in. This morning….no Callie. Again. We formed search parties to no avail. Where is Callie? I hope this saga has a happy ending….to be continued.

lol! Reminds me of what happened here... in the end we had TWENTY WILD cats whom we fed (it cost a lot!), but as soon as we'd open the door, they'd all run! Finally we caught them all with animal-safe traps, and turned them all over to the humane society! ;-)
