Houdini the Cat



My DD screamed for me to come quickly, there was a hurt cat on our door step!!!! I came strolling along, quite sure that I was going to regret the sight. I imagined a mangled heap of fur thinking that I was already not quite sure how I was going to deal with it. Instead, I see a beautiful Siamese cat lounging on the porch. I glance over it looking for broken bones, blood, gore.. yet see nothing. My daughter is quite distressed, demanding we bring it inside, feed it, take care of it, keep it... uh... no. The cat had one long scratch on its ear, to which my daughter tended to immediately. She placed a clear bandaid lengthwise on the ear.... I guess she thought it would leave it on there. I gave it some chopped ham and even bought it a couple of pouches of cat food - ONLY because I had B1G1 free cat coupons. I knew a cat this pretty had a home and someone would be missing it. After much pleading and several hours of telling her to leave it alone so it could go home (why would it want to with all of her attention) the owners were finally located. Thank goodness! There is no way my 2 dogs would have allowed this cat ANY of their territory!

Oh, the cat's name was Houdini as the title says. Figures.

The cat is beautiful. Too bad you couldn't keep her. I wish Brian wasn't allergic...I love cats.

By the way...TOTALLY DIGGING the year of crockpotting blog. It's become my new crack of choice.
