So, this evening, I came home, and before going in our side door, I went to the front and got our mail. I heard mewing, and saw our favorite neighborhood cat we call McGonagall. She is a stunning cat. She is a charcoal gray tortoise with orange. Very pretty face and soft green eyes. She is one stunning cat. Anyway, so, I sat down on the step and pet her. She and I looked at each other for a really long time. It was a kinda creepy, actually. I pet her for quite a while and when I got up to go into the house she followed me. I'd let her in and let her have the run of the place if it weren't for my husband being allergic to cats, my dogs, and the fact that I don't know if she's vaccinated. Anyway, so I get into the jeep and sit because it is cold outside. A few minutes pass, and I find her curled up on the step in front of our side door. She is looking around waiting for me to come back and pet her some more. Then in my rear view, this large black tom that also comes around and likes to talk to me, but won't let me pet him, comes up the drive. All of a sudden, I hear a hissing noise, and I see this flash of orange go over the fence into my backyard. The black cat sees her, and races across the front yard to head her off. I figure he's chased her off, so I let my dogs into the back yard. We're out there for like five minutes, and I hear this mewing again. I look up and the black tom cat is on the top of the neighbor's garage, looking up. I look up to where he's looking and he's TREED McGonagall. She is mewing at me like "Help me." Last I looked she was comfortably curled up in the top fork of the tree, and he is still making sure she's not going anywhere. Oh, I love these animals. They are too freaking smart and scare the crap out of me, but oh, they are entertaining. Duckie
