Kitties Are Taking Over!
Jul. 8th, 2009 10:54 amOkay, so last night I have this dream that while I'm out for a walk I find these kittens. There were 5-6 (the number kept changing) and they were all pretty young. I take them home (couldn't just leave them when they had clearly been abandoned!) and I think I was trying to do some sort of write up about them, or making a list by fur description and figuring out gender... I dunno.
Anyway, there's this little grey and white one that I end up temporarily naming Grey Weirdo, which was really funny because![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
greyweirdo was there, helping me corral the now-exploring beasties. I love it when people I only know online show up in dreams... Like a few weeks ago when 1_eyed_angel was showing me around Boston (she did bring talonvaki with her).
I woke up and swore I could hear a kitty meowing. It was only 6 am, and my brain wasn't quite processing. Sasha was still at the end of the bed, over my ankle, sleeping, so clearly she wasn't meowing. Listening harder thinking it might be Leo, but it didn't quite sound like him. The now-awake baby birdies drowned out everything, and I went back to sleep.
Which led to waking up a few minutes late, and rushing to get Kyle walked before I got ready for work. On our way back I saw a cat cross the street ahead of us. Then while we were on the sidewalk in front of our building, I see a neighbor heading out with their golden. I have Kyle sit, preparing to wait for them to get further away. This increased the odds of Kyle not barking his fool head off.
However, I notice that Kyle isn't really paying ANY attention to the guy and golden. Instead he kept staring at this car. Then strolling out from underneath it came this gorgeous brown and cream Maine Coon patterned- but not Maine Coon size- cat! Strolled right up to Kyle and I, rubbing against my legs and letting Kyle snuffle him all over. Giving me proof that Kyle CAN be nice to cats that aren't his, so long as they don't run away from him.
While Kyle and cat are making friends, I see what appears to be a long-haired Siamese-looking kitty slink out from under a different car and dart back around the back of the building. This leaves me torn, I want to make sure the kitties are alright, but I have to get ready for work. Reluctantly I pulled Kyle from his new bestest friend EVAH!!!1! Only to have new bestest trying to follow us... He stopped when we started walking up to the front door.
Fast forward- to me walking out the door to go to work. I see kitty has returned to an under the car position. This worries me, because what if the car owner arrives and starts the car? Kitty could be hurt! But I have to go to work. A possible solution pops into my head- I have a hubby, a hubby who should be arriving home from work shortly-ish. Get to work, call the hubby and leave a rambling message.
Few minutes later hubby calls. Kitty was still under the car, but he lured him out. Hubby said he felt silly, but agreed that it would be bad for kitty to stay there. He got kitty to follow him up to our front door. He opened it just as someone else was about to push it open from the inside. It was a rather frantic girl looking for her cat! Hubby turned around- and cat was gone... He went to slink around the corner, but came when his owner called him. His name is Dexter, so hubs found out.
Dexter and his fellow feline managed to push a screen out and followed it down from the second floor. Another neighbor (Mason and Aiden dogs's Mom) went out back and saw the long-haired Siamese sitting under the balcony meowing his pathetic head off. So she went back in to let the girl know her cat was out- not realizing it was actually 'cats.'
All in all, makes for an entertaining start to the day. Though I worry about what will happen should these catty things continue, possibly escalating.
