The Cat

We had a stray cat come and stay at our house for a couple of days. She was living in our front yard behind the bushes. She was very pretty and a nice kitten. I gave her some milk and dog food and she kept trying to sneak in the house. Since she wanted to be with the family I decided I should bring her to the animal shelter for adoption. I called the shelter and got it all set up,  checked on the kitty to make sure she was there, then ran inside and got Lilly ready but by the time I went back outside she was gone. We haven’t seen her since. It was like she knew we were going to take her to the animal shelter and wasn’t going to have any of that.

Lilly especially liked the kitty. She liked coming with me to feed it and wanted to check on it anytime we went outside.  

I found out later that our neighbors brought a cat to the animal shelter. I am sure it was the same one.
