Cat naps in the great sunshine

So I guess today I am all about being a cat. I must be channeling some feline energy.
I have a very active mind, which, unfortunately for me tends to be active somewhere around 3 in the morning. Apparently my brain wants to be nocturnal when my body does not. I also don't really sleep in. combine that with being over-tired and you have a 5 year old, am I right? At least that's how it feels to me in terms of dealing with life when I haven't slept enough.
So, today being beautifully balmy and sunny, I decided to take a hint from what now seems to be our new outdoor kitty (she chose us, for now at least). I brought my yoga mat out onto the deck, accompanied by a book, sketchbook, pens and watercolors and decided to just sit in the sun and rotate reading, painting and sun napping this afternoon. It has been the most blissful idea I have had all week.
And look who showed up all ready to chat and snuggle!

Hello, Kitty

This kitty just showed up one day at the back door.

We have no clue as to whether she is a stray or not, but she is awfully friendly and cuddly and doesn't seem to care about the dogs. Actually she just goes right up and starts rubbing around their legs.

She keeps trying to non-chelantly walk into the house with us when we go in, I wish I could let her in.

But truth be told I fear for her, for if she were to get in, oh the damage my little birdy would inflict!

In reality, I worry about the safety of Posey if a cat were to be in the house. I leave her cage open for her to play on top or climb around while I am home.

Oh, poor kitty! She is so sweet!

And if I had a barn... Well, I would most certainly let her stay there.

(Since I refuse to have an indoor cat again... Litter boxes = YUCK!)

Until then, I will sneak her some food and go out and give her cuddles when I have a chance.

All that aside, I think (I hope) she might have a real home and is just curious/friendly/adventurous since she doesn't seem to be starving and wasn't soaking wet last night when she came to visit during the storm.

So that has been going on.

Now I am off to try and avoid doing my taxes.

Ugh!
