Intruder Cat!

An Intruder has broken into our house and no one seems to care one iota about the monster, except me! There is something very peculiar about this intruder—it is another cat!

I first noticed this monster when Elway was sitting in the kitchen window. Black Cat appeared on the ceiling and he sat calmly swishing his tail. I cried and cried and Mandy came running. I pointed the intruder out to her and she said that he was allowed in the house.

She went about her business and I tried to convince Elway to check out the monster on the ceiling! Finally Elway looked at the ceiling and shrugged. Then he left the room and so did the Black Cat. I ran through all of the rooms in the house but did not see any sign of the black cat. I was satisfied by my thorough investigation of my home that Black Cat had exited the building, so I jumped on the counter to look out the kitchen window. A few minutes later I felt the presence of Black Cat. I turned around and there he was on the ceiling again! I screamed for help! Elway came running and Mandy looked up from doing the dishes. Elway jumped up next to me and there were TWO Black Cats!

I broke one of the cardinal rules of the kitchen and jumped onto the table trying to scare off these unwelcome guests. Mandy came over and picked me up off the table, and suddenly there was only one Black Cat again! She held me up as high as she could so I could try and scare off Black Cat, but I was unable to accomplish my goal. Black Cat remind on the ceiling for another hour while Elway calming sat in the kitchen window! I worked continually trying to get Mandy out of the kitchen to safety. I had no idea what Black Cat was capable off, and I wanted to make sure Mandy was a safe distance in case a fight broke out.

Eventually, as it got dark outside, Black Cat left the house. I was so tired by the time he left, that I plopped down next to the couch, too tired to even go outside and sleep in the sun. Mandy had the windows open and the house felt wonderful. I love the sun!

I had hoped we were rid of Black Cat but this morning he appeared in another room of the house! Mandy opened the curtains in the bedroom and I looked up and saw Black Cat swishing his tail on the ceiling! I noticed this morning he was ready for a fight. He must have seen me at the same time I saw him because he crouched down in a ready to jump position at the same time I did. Fortunately, I was able to chase off Black Cat as Mandy closed the curtains.

Mandy laughs and says I am afraid of Shadow. This is terrible! She has already named this terrible Black Cat. What kind of a name is Shadow anyway? I do not think he will visit this house again. I certainly showed him who was boss this morning.

On a much lighter note, we received Valentines in the mail this week! It was the highlight of my week, and I was very excited when Mandy greeted me at the door with mail! Thanks for thinking of us!
