About Kate

I guess you remember that Kate came to live with us nearly a year ago, when her family had to move away, and no cats were allowed. Kate is a little Russian Blue. We were fine and happy without her, but if Kate's people sent her away, she would probably have been put down. Kate's original name was Katie. That sounded so much like Kasey that He and She called her Kate. When she lived next door, Kate had a busy family with two kids and a dog. Kate went inside, into the garage, but she was mostly outdoors. She would come over for pets and sometimes to get a snack. Sometimes she would come inside, but she always wanted to go right back out. When Kate came to stay with us, He and She never let her out. They didn't want her to get fleas or eat birds.  I surprised Her that we didn't become friends. For many months, Kasey and I stayed in the bedroom and the closet, but Kate was all over the house.  It seemed as if she liked the comfy chairs and the nice pets and snuggles. I started to sneak into the living room, so She was hopeful that we could all be together and happy. Without a single hint that she was not happy here, Kate got outside somehow. He and She searched all over for her but didn't see her anywhere. None of us saw Kate for lots and lots of days. Then one day He was putting out food for the stray cats, like He always did, and there was Kate. She had a snack and He opened the door for her to come in. Kate wasn't interested. She ran away. Kate has been back a few times for a little snack, but He decided not to pick her up and make her come in, since she didn't want to. The round tummy is still there, so He guesses she goes somewhere to live and just comes around to visit.  I hope Kate is happy, wherever she has gone to stay, but Kasey and I have been so glad that we have the house back to ourselves that we don't want her to come back. I am just telling the truth.
If you got a new cat, like Her OperaGirl, and they get along fine, we are happy for you. No more cats here, please.
Until tomorrow, dear readers.
