D called me over to the garden as I
climbed the front steps to go into the
house this evening.
He was carrying something and set it
down. To my surprise it was Kita Cat!
It was several years ago in the late autumn
when we first set eyes upon Kita in our garden.
At the time, we thought she was a stray.
While experiencing bitter cold weather, we
called everyone we could think of in the neighborhood
without success and nearly found a home for her when
her family contacted us and we discovered her story.
Kita lives behind the houses across the
street in a horse barn and when she was taken back to
her abode we had hoped that she would
not wander, especially at night.
We've heard coyotes calling in the middle of the night
and there's other dangerous wildlife in the woods.
Since that time she hasn't visited much so when we do
occasionally see her we're delighted but at the same time
worried and hope that she will stay safe.
She is one of the friendliest kitties I've ever met.
When she first visited us in the fall of 2007,
she loved to sit on D's back as he was working on our house
and gardening on his hands and knees! She would look
over his shoulder!
Here' some photos from 2007:
