There's a black-orange-white cat that has taken up to hanging around outside on our little section of cement-patio and mewing at our screen door. We don't know why, I'm pretty sure it's a stray, but it's adorable. *vows to take a picture ( Read more... )

So, I went out to run some errands for my mom, and when I came back there was someone on the phone for me (remarkable timing, that).
