Cattin’ Around the Neighborhood

Three years ago a thin black cat showed up at our back door and adopted us. We didn’t let her inside because of my cat allergy, but Sandy began regularly feeding her. The cat stayed around and began gaining weight. While visiting our next door neighbors some time later we discovered our cat on their porch eating from “her” bowl. The cat had also adopted the Roberts, who had named her “socks” because of her white feet. Several weeks later our neighbors on the other side asked us to feed their cat “Sylvester” while they were out of town. This is when we learned that our cat had adopted another family and was actually a male. This fat cat by any name is nobody’s fool. If you triple your owners then you triple your dinners. However, now these families have several babies to run from and he has to work for his keep.
