About That Birthday Cat

On the night prior to my birthday, a young black cat found us hanging out on the downstairs patio waiting for the midnight toast. It made great friends with my daughter. I petted it a little but I wasn't trying to encourage it. It seemed like a stray. I'm not ready to be a cat momma as I said before.

The next day on my birthday it hung out and I made sure it got something to eat. It kept coming around and I kept finding things to feed it.

Three days ago while I was in the convenience store, I picked up a box of cat food because I really don't have a lot of things cats should eat. Since then, I'm not the only feeder and it keeps coming around for it's twice a day meal.

I am still hoping that I can find out if it has a home somewhere or someone to adopt it if I don't.

I've been a "full time mommy" to either kids, or pets or both since I was 15 and I have only had a couple of years to start figuring out who I am without that kind of responsibility. I differentiate being a "mommy" from being a mom because to me that comes with a different set of regulations and responsibilities than the mom job and being a mom never ends.

I'm still praying about it and not worrying about it as of yet. But if it goes on too long I'll have to do something. I'd rather not have to decide about the fate of this little creature but if I can find it permanent love and care then presently I believe that is why it came to my house rather than knowing it was coming HOME. 

Or that's how I see it so far...

It is really cute and lovable if anyone needs a nice black cat!
