Seems as though we've been adopted...

We got up Sunday morning and left for church..and found this BEAUTIFUL cat in our yard..Rachel called him and he came right over and let her pick him up. He looked hungry..so I gave him a can of tuna...and when we got back from church he was still in the lawn chair..apparently waiting for us to get home. He spent the day playing with the kids in the yard...all of the kids just LOVE him. He is the most beautiful cat, he's velvety gray, and very clean. He appears to have been someone's cat and he's either gotten loose or they put him out. he's very loving, and gets along well with us and the kids. After J left to take his kids home to their mom, I looked out the window and he was just sitting on the porch looking up at the window..like he was waiting. I fed him again ... I left him out for a bit for a potty break. When J got home, he brought him in and that's where he stayed for the night. He did really well. he pretty much stayed downstairs until he heard us moving around upstairs. he walked up the steps and started to meow...almost like he was telling us he needed to go outside.

J and I decided that we''re going to take him in. I'm stopping on the way home today to get him a litter box and food. He spent the night in the house last night, and is outside today...but as soon as we get him set up inside, I doubt he'll go out much. We're not really supposed to have fur bearing animals in the rental, but hell, we didn't want to be in this house next year anyhow.

Now, my only dilema is trying to get him to understand that the guinea pigs aren't snacks!
