The Cat - the House...the adventure....





We picked up what we thought would be such a fine kitty a week ago. Oh did we forget that it was not a normal north american "pet". The first night it jumped out of the front fence - Kurt and Micah chased it down from behind our place and then as it started attacking Kurt so he threw it up and over the fence to yet jump up on porch roof and sit...Sooooo, I crawled out of the bedroom window to catch it and bring it in. That lasted one day. I do think though he must have thought he had died and gone to kitty heaven - he was petted, had a soft kitty basket to sleep in, real catfood, a nice antibacterial bath, and dried fish aaahhh....well, he continued to leave each day, and after school Micah would come home and go look for him and bring him back. Finally, Sat. he left and didn't come back.....we later received a text from the family we got him from saying that he had returned there...we left him there. We will wait for a kitten.... :)











Here are also some pictures of the house as we have it now. Kurt is working on a valve in one of the water storage tanks. We have three, one in the attic which is where all of our house water comes from and two in the back yard. The normal hot dog is a foot long as you can see Micah holding.

  4. Thanks for the update and new pictures. Some people have too many cats and some people can't keep them.
