Between worlds: observations of a semi-feral boy

I went exploring today

It was a busy day. First, I sat outside this afternoon on the pickanick table with my squirrel friend. The Lady didn't even know until today that I have a squirrel friend. But we were sitting together on the table. He was eating something nutty, and I was just watching the world. It was a nice mellow interlude.

Then when the Boy came home from school, he saw that the inside door for my Porch was open, but there were no other cats on it. So he unlatched my cat door so I could come in my Porch and have a snack or take a nap if I wanted to.

Did I ever!

He was upstairs in his room, working on his computer, when he heard that baby wussy Leo yowling. Then Leo came hustling up the stairs. And guess who was trotting right behind Leo?

That's right. ME!!!!

Apparently the Boy didn't lock the Inside Porch door when he opened my cat door, so when I came onto the Porch I bumped against it and it opened. And I decided it would be fun to explore Inside!

The Boy and the Lady locked that squalling brat Leo and Thomas and Lady-the-cat into bedrooms, and just watched me as I checked out the Upstairs of the house. They went to go downstairs, thinking I'd follow them, but I stopped at the landing halfway down and rubbed against their legs. Because there, sitting in the living room watching me, was that Pixie! She just looked at me, and I looked at her, and she looked at me.

So then the Lady went downstairs and tried to pick up Pixie, but she hid under a chair in the dining room, and I explored the bathroom and living room. So many interesting things to sniff at! Finally the Boy put Pixie in the basement and shut the door, and then I checked out the dining room and kitchen. Would you believe there's a food bowl and a water bowl in the kitchen?

Then I realized Pixie was right behind that door, so I sniffed at her and scratched at the door, and she yelled at me, and the Lady said "Cowwwww!Caaaatttt" which kinda means "No", and I got bored with all that negativity so I went back in the living room to check it out some more. Then the Boy went out on the Porch, and I followed him, and he scritched me a bit and then went back Inside.

He locked the door behind him that time. Darn.

So I spent the night peeking at Lady and Thomas and wussy Leo through the glass, as usual.

The Lady said she was really happy that I didn't try to spray anything. She thinks maybe the Feliway diffuser helped me act like a gentleman.

I hope I get to go back Inside again sometime soon.
