A long haired, charcoal gray cat with a collar and a bell on it, has been showing up lately. I try not to feed it, as I know it lives somewhere else and I don't need him settling in, but the granddaughter has gotten very close. It's a very affectionate cat. As she was loving on it one day and I was sitting in a chair nearby, the cat jumped up in my lap expecting loves. The granddaughter has named her Billie, after a singer she likes, (Billie Eilish).
Last night, the grandson took his dog outside. Shortly thereafter, the other grandson came in and asked why there was another cat in the house. Of course, I had to get up and look. When the grandson took his dog out, Billie sneaked in, and went straight for Van Gogh's food. Van Gogh never saw her. I had to take Van Gogh's food and lure Billie back outside. Taylor, by contrast, has never set a paw inside.
With all the storms the last few days, (very rainy and electrical but none violent) the cats have mostly stayed undercover. In 2 days, I only saw Taylor twice. Worries me but she does eventually show up. She got breakfast this morning. John
