I think I've got to steal the neighbors cat.

It's a wee fuzzy thing, with big snarls behind each ear.  It hangs out at
our barn, so for a long time I thought it was a wild cat and tried to make
it a barn cat.  It usually runs away when we go out there.

I've been trilling to it and mewing back when it mews at me and today it let
me hold it and scritch it and love it and it purr purr purred.  Clearly not
a wild cat, eh?  But it was FILTHY.  And for such a little thing it had big
fur snarls behind each ear and on it's hind end.  I spent a good long time
holding it and loving it and it would have stayed there forever had I paid
it attention forever.  Too fuzzy and mottled and dirty to identify it as a
boy or a girl.  Poor thing.

I think it's coming to the new house with us next summer.....
