Well, I seem to have acquired a little visitor this morning.

I could hear a cat meowing outside my back door while it was still dark. Went out to investigate and found this beautiful thing.

It's incredibly friendly, rubbing against my hand and acting like we'rebest friends. I gave it some water and a hot dog, because that's about all i had handy.

It's been hanging around my back door ever since, practically leaning against it like it's waiting for me to let it in.

I've never seen this cat before, and I'm pretty sure it's used to being around people and living inside. I'm hoping it just wandered away from home and someone is missing it.

Unfortunately, living out in the country, people sometimes dump animals and figure someone else will take care of them. I really hope that's not what happened.

So now I guess I'm going to have to break down and get on Facebook to see if anyone recognizes it. I hate getting on that thing, but i suppose it has its uses
