A Cat, a Stroller, and a Runner?

Meet Thomas. Thomas is one of three stray cats that reside mostly on our front porch. We first met Thomas about a year and a half ago, when he strolled into our backyard and decided to stay a while. Unlike the other strays, which are skittish and difficult to approach, Thomas is personable and even likes Joe. Thomas will sometimes even trot behind us at the start of a run, only to look dejected once we cross the street.


Being a stray cat at our house does have its perks. On cold nights, Thomas gets to sleep inside. Unfortunately for Thomas, one of our inside cats, Bernoulli, is not a very gracious host, and thus Thomas must go back outside come morning. But don’t feel bad for Thomas, because judging by his physique, we are not the only family in the neighborhood that leaves food on the porch.

Cool cat! I have numerous images of our cats in the sink, especially Maggie. Neat story and I like your door mat.

I think Thomas might be playing you. I think your right about having more homes. He is adorable though.

Cats are a weakness of mine. And I type this with Thomas sitting on my lap...

We have three males, mostly because my husband won't let us have more. One of ours is a former feral...he is the sweetest cat we've ever had. Thomas looks like a great snuggler!
