I have a new friend...

This is my new friend.

Actually, she is an old friend. I just did not see her for a year.

Last summer she came to visit for one night. I fed her, she was so very hungry. Turkey breast was all I had and she loved it.

I went out the next day and got some cat food, just in case... But, she didn't return.

Until Wednesday night. The roomies son came in and told me we had a visitor.

She was very skittish at first. Wanted to come near me, yet she didn't want to. I talked gently to her and would just reach out my hand.

It didn't take long and she was all over me, wanting to be loved.

I got out the cat food (yes, I still had it) and she gobbled it up. I sat out there with her that night, loving on her and trying to get her ole purrbox to working. She has such a loud meow! I finally came in - after about 2 hours and it was getting rather cool outside.

She came back the next night. I sat and loved on her again, fed her again even though she wasn't quite as hungry as before.

I have to wonder if she belongs to someone. She isn't starved skinny thank goodness.

Last night when we got back from a baseball game, there she was - hanging on the screen on the front window! So I fed her, loved her, left her water and came in after a while.

When I looked out, she was still there - curled up asleep in the big flower pot.

I think I am in love.
