Warming Up

I wake up early in the morning, and was the first one up each morning while we were in Brussels visiting Amber and Len.

This particular morning, I got up, made the coffee and tried to figure out how to turn the heat up (it was very cold).

While waiting for the coffee to brew, I wandered into the living room to see how much it had snowed overnight. It was still dark, and the falling snow looked cool against the street lights.

I saw (Macy) Grey, a neighbor's cat, sitting on the sill just outside the side window. She was looking quite cold and forlorn. I went to the backdoor, opened it, and called her.

She came running inside, went straight to the food bowl, and emptied it. Then she went looking for someplace warm.

By then, the heat had kicked on (yes, I found the thermostat). She curled up on this cushion right next to the register underneath the window where I first saw her.

She reminded me a lot of Tonks. She spends as much time with the Northfields as she does at her own home.

Cats seem to chose their own home - and people.

I'm glad Smokey Joe chose me.

I remember seeing Macy at that window several times during our stay. She was so cute!

She actually never goes to our neighbour's house anymore... and I never refer to her as 'my cat' but rather, I am 'her human'.

You're post has really reminded me of what a lovely time we had when you were here!

Hugs!

Poor kitty. I bet ours is really mad at us because she has to be outside while we're gone.
