This last May when we lived in Nampa we had decided to get a kitten. It was free and we thought that we would enjoy some company. It became our little pall. A few months later when we moved in with my parents the kitten was able to come along with us. Of coarse my parents don't have animals inside the house so this was a transition for our little kitten to learn to be outside and be with Buck my parents dog. Well, he adjusted quite well. Buck and him were best palls. When we moved to Rexburg we decided to leave this little ball of fur with my parents. He would help keep mice away and he loved being outside. Although we were attached we knew he would rather be outside than stuck inside a little apartment.
He became quite the pest. Just always trying to have fun..chasing after anyone's feet and nipping at you if you tried to touch him. But needless to say he was still a pretty good cat. After about a month of being in Rexburg(hearing about his little episodes here and there from my parents) i hadn't heard anything for about a week. So I asked my mom how he was doing. Well she informed me that he had been ran over the night before. Although our hearts broke for this little kitten that we had, we knew everything was OK. Brent especially had this special thing for the cat. He gets that way with pets or things he has.
About a week later, last night this little visitor showed up outside our door. Brent immediately got some food for it. At first we were a little hesitant because here is a stray, and stray cats usually are just well you know...gross and very spooked. Not this one. He warmed up to us very fast. We fed him a little(knowing he would probably be back for more food) and left to the store. When we got back he was just sitting there waiting for us. So Brent brought him in. He was very cuddly. I didn't touch him too much cause it seemed strange. But it filled a part of Brent that he has been missing for a while. He just loves animals.
Usually I really don't like callico cats, but he actually had some pretty unique features that made him cute...
Brent brought him and and he fell asleep in his lap.
So after all, it was a little adventure to have him visit. Last night our neighbors took part in giving food to him and putting out a blanket for him. This morning he was outside when we went to church. Brent pet him and he rubbed right up on him as if he knew exactly who Brent was. We havn't seen him since but i'm sure he'll be back. Brent keeps looking out the door for him...he's like a little boy looking for his lost puppy. Haha its cute. So thats our little cat story. I know alot of people don't like cats(mm my brothers) but we are some that do...
