| Hello Kitty Whiskers |
Scott has owned this house for roughly 5 years. During the time we had the occasional cat visit and spend time in our yard hunting mice and moles. Scott never let me feed the cat despite my numerous attempts. We're pretty sure the cat belonged to our neighbor but that didn't stop me from naming him (Sawdust) or pretending that in some strange way he was our cat.
When Paisley was born in August and we became a family of 3, Sawdust stopped coming over to visit. In the middle of the night, we would hear a cat meowing, and figured Sawdust just decided to visit us at night. Since I was up every few hours, I would hear the cat(s) everytime I would get up to feed Paisley. They would be outside our bedroom window, outside Paisley's window, and on our front porch. Then suddenly we started seeing a HUGE black cat (Blackie), an orange and white cat (Dreamsicle), a grey and white cat (Smokey), and an all orange cat (kitty whiskers). These cats weren't just popping in and out of our lives, they took up residence on our deck. The strange thing is we don't have any food on our deck and nothing has changed on our deck since we have owned the house. The cats just lay around on our deck and watch our every move. So if you don't find anything strange about that...keep reading.
About 2 months ago, I started noticing a black and white dog that would run into our backyard and just as quickly run past our house and just keep going. Scott and I would joke that the dog was in a hurry and our yard was apparently his short cut home. Then a couple mornings while I was getting Paisley ready I would notice that the dog would run up one side of our deck steps, sprint across our deck, and run down the other side. He just ran across the deck like he used to run the width of our yard. After noticing him do this a couple of mornings, I asked Scott if he ever saw the dog on our deck, to which he said "yes," he had seen it run by a couple different evenings. Why in the world would this dog be coming up on our deck (keep in mind there is NO food on our deck) and running down the other side? And it isn't like he is after the cats because they all just look at each other and the cats just give him the once over and go back to licking their paws.
So...now the dog has decided he isn't in a hurry anymore and he lounges on our deck with the cats. We now have 5 cats and a dog. None of which we feed or pet. Has anyone ever heard of a baby attracting animals to their home?
