It would appear that while we were away during April a new set of neighbours brought a cat with them. One who liked to roam and one who obviously thought our back garden and all the pleasures to be had there were his and his alone. Â All this time poor unsuspecting Kiera was languishing away in her holiday home just down the road.
I thought it odd when she wouldn’t stay outside during the day – this was on warm  sunny days early in May not like the recent cooler ones.  Then I caught her at the glass  back door growling and having a hissy fit at the offender who was sunning himself right there on our back deck.
Before then we laughingly called her my brown shadow – now it’s like having a brown blob glued to my body 😊
Take today – after all my complaining about the miserable weather we actually had a dry clear sunny day. I tried to put her outside to enjoy it and she promptly turned round almost in terror to push her way back inside.
And this is where she sat (until I turned the fire off)
It was almost as if she was looking to the fire for an answer.
Answer me, oh my love. Â Just what sin have I been guilty of?
Why me? Â I’m just a little old lady trying to enjoy the twilight of my life ??
Anyway I don’t mind her being inside when it’s yuk outside but I drew the line with today’s weather.  So I popped her in the old cat pen at the bottom of the garden – that way she could catch the rays and feel ‘safe’ at the same time.  Wouldn’t you know it,  she obviously didn’t feel it was a problem being outside at all because she promptly fell asleep 😊😊
